Monorail routes from the 1970's

[sotoalf]

Listening to Jack Wagner monorail spiels from the seventies, I learned that the "local" or resort monorail line didn't stop at the TTC: it went MK-Contemporary-Polynesian; if you needed to reach the TTC, you changed trains at the MK.

Until the opening of Epcot, I assume there was no reason for a resort guest to use the TTC. Did a direct bus service the four MK resorts to the Disney Village Marketplace?

Also: you needed a hand stamp to ride the monorail again!

I believe there was bus service to the Marketplace. So there would be no reason to go to TTC.

We rode the red-flagged bus from the TTC to the Marketplace during our '84 trip, so I assume traffic patterns changed forever with Epcot's debut. Resorts didn't get their own bus to the Village until '89.

Now we're back full circle: resort guests no longer need rely on the TTC.

Except for those staying at CR, Poly, GF or BLT as they need the TTC to go to EPCOT.
