Quick Monorail Questions

[Kemorr]

1) Contemporary to Poly - does the monorail go straight there or does it stop elsewhere first?

2) Poly to MK - does this go Poly, TTC, MK or some other route? Which is quicker to MK from Poly? Monorail or boat?

Thanks

There are three monorail lines.

The resort line is the one you're talking about. It goes...
MK -> CR -> TTC -> Poly -> GF -> MK

The 'express' line goes
MK -> TTC -> MK

The Epcot line...
EC -> TTC -> EC

The answer to your second question is "it depends". Assuming you start counting right from getting on the monorail/boat, I'm going to say the monorail is slightly faster. BUT, if you factor wait time/walking time to the boarding area, it can change. I suggest going by boat at least once.

You forgot the CR. So I guess its

MK -> CR ->TTC -> Poly -> GF -> MK

Assuming they are operational-they are down right now.

1) The monorail stops at the TTC after the Contemporary before stopping at the Polynesian.
2). Poly then GF then MK. Assuming they both left the same time, I am guessing the monorail would get there a bit quicker (assuming there is not a stop/hold on the monorail, which happens sometimes). Really depends how long you have to wait for each prior to loading/leaving. I like the boats better (assuming weather is decent). Do keep in mind that you cannot take an open stroller or ECV on the resort boats (not familiar with the MK/TTC Ferry).

In March, the boat went MK > GF > Poly > MK. I don't know if it's much faster than taking the monorail, but it can be a pleasant/fun experience (as long as the weather is good). The boat was pretty small, so if you have strollers or ECVs, I would opt for the monorail (I'm not sure the boat can take ECVs).

D'oh! You're right. How'd I miss that?

For straight out speed the monorail would be faster. Once you get on the boat it is a pretty constant speed directly to MK but it is not a speedboat. The monorail time will depend on if you have any waits before you can pull into a station and the loading time at GF.

I think the average wait for a boat is longer than a monorail and you have to walk all the way to the end of the dock but you might get lucky either way and arrive just at the right time.

and you have to walk all the way to the end of the dock

Unless you are near the marina or the beach or volcano pool. Closer than the monorail.

So round trip would be how long avg? I'm at blt so cr stop is closest

Staying at CR/BLT, walking is going to be your fastest option, especially getting to MK.
