Traveling within Disney Property

[Vader]

I am staying at a resort off Disney property. Do I have full access to all Disney transportation like the monarails, boats, and buses?

As long as you have park passes, you do! Have a great trip!

Actually, in all honesty, I think you could use their entire out-of-park system without a park pass, because buses and monorail and boats are out-of-park, so I think you could use these with no problem. If you never entered a park, but you drove to and parked in a park or resort's parking lot ($), and just wanted to 'tour' the out-of-park grounds, I think you could. I have NEVER ONCE been asked for 'proof' while traveling on WDW transportation, only when entering a park.

Anyone have other thoughts on this?

My only doubt is the ferryboat from ??? to MK. I can't remember where we boarded that, but it took us to the outer perimeter of MK (TTC?). I've been there 5 times and I'M still learning!

Good question!

Originally the wording was something like "people holding valid theme park tickets have full use of all WDW transportation". I understand that this was dropped a while ago, although it was never enforced anyway.
Once you are on WDW property you are free to use the boats, buses and monorails from early morning until late at night.

Thanks for your help.

I really want my family to have fun exploring Disney property.

One area where you may occasionally be asked for resort ID is the launch of the smaller boats that run between the Magic Kingdom, the Grand Floridian, and the Polynesian. A few times, my ID has been checked.

While not staying at either of those resorts, I was still welcome on the boat as a guest at another WDW property.
