Monorail questions

[esmetutu]

I have a few obsessive-type questions about the Monorail:

1. How do you get from your resort to the Ticket and Transportation Center? Don't the buses to the MK let you off in front of the park, not at the TTC? Can you get from the TTC back to your resort somehow?

2. Can you take the Monorail from EPCOT to the TTC without going into EPCOT to board the Monorail? Can you take it "full circle" back to EPCOT without getting off?

3. How long does the Monorail run after the parks close?

---

Basically, our plane lands at 6:00pm and we just don't think we'll have enough to time to *do* anything that evening aside from dinner (probably just at the PC food court) and a ride around WDW on the Monorail. We really want to do 9pm Wishes and 10pm Spectromagic but it just doesn't seem feasible.

Anyway, TIA for any help.

Lots of questions! Happy to help.

To get to the TTC from your resort:

Take the bus to the MK. At the MK, walk over to the monorail station and take either the Express which goes only to the TTC, or the RESORTS monorail, which stops at the monorail resorts. (Handy for resort-hopping it goes to the Contemporary, TTC, Poly, GF, then MK) At the TTC, you can catch the EPCOT monorail.

The EPCOT monorail goes through a little bit of Future World at EPCOT on its way from the MK, but stops outside the gate, so no ticket will be required.

Yes, you can stay on it round-trip. As many times as you like. DH and I do this sometimes as a break on MK days! Ask to sit up front with the driver: kids love it!

The monorails usually run about an hour after the parks close. Sometimes later.

Hope it helped. Have a great trip!

You do not need to go to the TTC to ride the monorail, except to transfer between monorails for a trip all the way from Magic Kingdom to Epcot.

Occasionally if it is crowded and you are joyriding, you may have to get off at MK, TTC, or Epcot and go down and back up to the end of the line and wait for the next monorail.

You can also take the ferry from TTC to MK or vice versa which is a nice joyride too. No admission consumed although once in awhile you are asked to show your park ticket.
