Monorail vs. Ferry Boat to MK

[chip91]

All families with strollers and/or multiple strollers, TAKE THE FERRY TO MAGIC KINGDOM!! So much easier than the monorail, which was always packed! OF course my kids thought the monorail was cool & they got the sit up front , co-pilots license experience (thanks DIS!) but when we got there on 10-6 for MNSSHP, DH said let's try the ferry, it was GREAT! Pushed the strollers on, didn't have to unfold them, not crowded at all, same thing leaving MNSSHP (it was a few minutes before midnight) not crowded at all, everyone got to sit down..It didn't really take that much longer than riding the monorail.

JMO!

At peak times such as park opening and closing the ferry is usually quicker. When we were leaving the MK the line for the monorail was down the ramp so I would expect to wait for at least two monorail loads. The ferry on the other hand was basically walk on. Just had to wait for the ferry to show up and everyone that was waiting got on. Also with strollers the ferry is more convenient. You don't have to fold it or maneuver it around that center divider in the monorail.

See now we did the monorail each time and it was no problem, granted after the 2nd day we no longer could use our double jogger (broken), but we didn't find it bad last week, or after MNSSHP. The kids inisited too.
