Monorail Question

[umbluegray]

So I hear the monorail is undergoing some improvements. We're leaving Monday so I'm wondering what we'll do.

How many monorail lines are there?
1. From TTC to Epcot
2. From TTC to MK
3. From MK to MK Resorts

Do all lines go thru the TTC?

Which lines are running and which lines are not running?

Thanks

I called the 800 # for WDW. I asked to speak to whatever department that could help me with monorail information. They transferred me to the TTC at (407) WDW-RIDE.

I asked if the monorail was undergoing a rehab or construction. I mentioned I heard that the MK monorail station was undergoing some type of construction and that everyone had to use the ferry.

The lady put me on hold while she checked. She came back and said everything is running as normal, there's no work being done.

So, I assume she knew what she was talking about. Which I'm going to assume that whatever work was being done to the monorail it completed.

umbluegrey,
I also posted this type of question on the resorts board and did not get a response. From what I have read elsewhere, the only line that is effected is the express monorail from the TTC to MK. It is running or was running as a one-way line from the TTC to MK only and then going back to the TTC empty. When leaving the MK, all guests must board the Resorts Monorail to either an MK resort or the TTC. They construction is for the new automatic gates at the monorail stations. The construction is supposed to be finished sometime the 1st week in June. I was there 2 weeks ago and this was the case, but I have no new information. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info. Maybe you can help with this, too.

Does the resort line run a loop -- TTC -> MK -> Resorts -> TTC etc?

I was there last week and they are rehabbing the monorail stations at both the TTC and MK. This is on the express monorail side. The CM's are sending everyone over to MK from the TTC on the ferry. The express is running with guests from MK to the TTC.

Leaving MK, you are much better off using the resort monorail, the express has had very long lines at night.

The resort monorail runs a clockwise loop

The express monorail runs a counterclockwise loop
