OKW Question

[corinnak]

well, I guess because they figure that most people are going to want to go to the Magic Kingdom and not the TTC, and it probably streamlines things for guests arriving by car if they don't have to further transport the resort guests via monorail or ferry. There isn't really a whole lot of interest at the TTC, is there? I don't know the exact reason why they put the bus station right at the front of the Magic Kingdom gates, bypassing the monorail/ferry transport issue, but it sure is a time saver, even if it is not as dramatic experience.

If you want to ride the monorail from the TTC, and you are taking disney transportation, you could either go to Epcot and take the monorail to the TTC (would take longer, but wouldn't spoil the reveal, I suppose) or you could go to the MK and take the monorail or ferry away from the MK over to the TTC...though I am still not sure why you would want to do this, those would be the ways I can think of. I'm sorry if it isn't the answer you were looking for or if I am misunderstanding somehow.

I really want to take the monorail from TTC to MK. Also, has anyone seen the new buses that are suppose to be poping up in the next two months?

Fair enough.

I haven't seen them - GPS and all, though, sounds like it could be very cool and a big potential for system-wide improvement!

Does epcot have a bus directly to MGM? I read on the home page that you have to go to marketplace to mgm!

I don't know if there is a bus from Epcot to MGM or not. Did you ask on the Transportation board?

I believe you could take the friendship boats in some way to get from the International Gateway of Epcot over to MGM, but I have never done it myself, so I can't elaborate more than that. Sorry!

The buses in OKW, where do they go? If I wanted to get to another resort from OKW, would I have to go to the TTC and then hop on a bus there to the resort?

The buses go to theme parks, water parks and DTD. If you want to go to another resort you could have a couple options.
1.Take the OKW boat or bus to DTD and grab the bus to any WDW resort.(probably the easiest option)
2.Take a bus to any park and grab the WDW transportation to any resort.

There is a boat that goes from Epcot to MGM. It's non-stop from MGM to Epcot, but makes the resort stops from Epcot to MGM. It stops at BC/YC, BW, S&D. Or if you feel ambitious you could walk. it's about a 20 minute walk and you get to walk by some nice resorts on the way

I am still trying to figure out why you want to go the TTC and take the monorail to MK when the OKW bus to MK drops you off closer to the entrance than that. If your main objective is to just ride the monorail to ride it, you can always get on at MK and ride it back to the TTC if you want.

Because I want to film the TTC and monorai rides direct from TTC!
