TTC and EMH

[lasmickey]

Ok, here's my question.... We are staying on-site, and will be visiting MK on an EMH (morning). It will be our two DD's first trip ever to the MK, and even though some of you might find this silly, I want to drive to the TTC, then ride the monorail to the MK. (As a child, the memory of riding the monorail over to the MK for the first time is one of my favorite memories. I remember thinking that the monorail was "transporting me to a magical land" (and of course it was!!!). Anyway (sorry to ramble) if we do drive to the TTC, will the monorail be running early enough for us to still be at the gates to the MK when they open for EMH? TIA to anyone who can shed some light on this subject for me!!!

yes - the monorail (and i believe all disney transportation) will be running an hour before the scheduled opening time for the park - this includes and hour BEFORE EMH is to start. The TTC should be opening around the same time. (have done the exact scenario that you described before as well as taking other means of WDW transportation to EMH - back when it was called EE.)

have a great vacation and congrats on getting to experience some of the magic that you loved as a kid with your own children.

We always do this too. Often the resort monorail may be running only. Be prepared to show your room keys to get through the gate to get on the monorail.

They held us all at the gates the last EE (when it was EE) that we went to. I think the monorail started running about 10 minutes before the park opened at 7:30.

Is this different now? Can you get on the monorail in time to be at the gates by say 7:30? Or do they hold you until closer to the 8:00 openeing time?
