It will take you much longer to take the monorail from the CR to MK. With stops at TTC, the Polynesian and then GF, it takes awhile!! If we are going to go back and forth from MK to CR, we walk. The walkway is very pleasant. It only takes about 8 minutes or so. It is clearly marked. Now, this being said, maybe you're not in a hurry and want to just sight-see. So, in that case...sure take the monorail. BTW...the CR is the first stop after leaving the MK.
