Magic Kingdom Security

Was wondering how its going with the security now they've moved it. When it happened, from what i've read on here it was going quite well. Is it still going well?

Yes, it's working good. Was a breeze last week when I went through

We were just there - 10 nights at Fort Wilderness - and we loved the security changes. As we exited the boat, they were there to check us - super fast and easy. No more long lines.

The only thing that seems strange to me - when leaving the Contemporary for monorail, we were checked, then when we got to Epcot, checked again.. They haven't figured out a way (and probably won't) to keep monorail resort guests separate for that park. Not a real 'biggie' though - just double checked to get to Epcot from a monorail resort.

I went the week leading up to Easter and MK was pretty insane that day and I was staying offsite and security was a breeze at the TTC.

I think of the check at resorts or TTC as the MK check and the Epcot as it 's own check. Two parks, two checks as usual. Glad to hear it was running smoothly when you were there.

It worked great for us as well. The one thing that was a little annoying was taking the monorail from the Contemporary to GF and having to get checked both directions even though we weren't going to a park. But since we were at CR and the line for us (at RD) to get thru security on the MK walking path was never more than 2 people it was a good trade off. But for others, be warned that that line can be longer at more popular entrance times.

It's two checks, but it's not "as usual."
That's the point of contention regarding the monorail resorts and Epcot.

I thought it worked great. I was just there this past week, and stayed at WL. I used both boat and bus transport and found security to be a breeze both ways.

Security checks were fast for all park entrances during our week in late April but lines to use the monorail can be daunting in the AM.
