Well there are 2 different monorails. One is Magic kingdom and the resorts, Grand Floridian, Polynesian, and Contemporary. You can begin at anyone of these and ride full circle. Then you have the Epcot monorail, which goes to Epcot and the Ticket and trans center. Here you can switch to the resort\MK monorail if you like. We usually take 1 night of our trip and ride the monorail and get off at every resort and go shopping in the resort stores.
