I'm no expert and have never come across a site that list the bus stops and/or times but will try to help.

The Coranado Resort (CR)?? is not on a monorail stop, there are only three resorts that are available by Monorail

The Monorail runs about every ten to twently minutes continuously.

There is the resort monorail that runs in a loop stops at the Transportation Center - Poly - Grand Flor. - Magic Kingdom - Contemp and just keeps going in this loop all day long. I'm sure someone else on the boards could tell you how long after the parks close that these still run and/or if they run continuously thru out the nite between the resorts.

The other route travels from the transportation center to EPCOT to Magic Kingdom.

Bus routes - all resorts have buses that run from their resort to MK, MGM, AK, EPCOT, TL, BB and DTD (have never seen one to the sports center but i'm sure they have them). These also run about every 20 to 30 minutes. There are usually quite a few different stops at each resort - when you check in they will give you a map of your resort with the bus stops.

By bus to get from one resort to another you will have to take the bus to either dtd or one of the parks then transfer to a different bus that travels to that particular resort. This can take some time

hope these helped answer your questions

Hi! There is a really neat tool for figuring out transportation options and times. It is at www.ourlaughingplace.com - scroll to the top left on the toolbar and highlight DisneyWorld. A pop down menu will show- click on the bottom item- Transportation Wiz. You can find directions to any Disney location from any location, and it will give approximate times, and several possible ways of getting there.

Example: To get to Epcot from the Contemporary, they give you 3 alternatives:
1) Monorail to Transportation & Ticketing Center (TTC), then monorail to Epcot. Time: approx 34 mins.
2) Boat to Wilderness Lodge, then bus to Epcot. Time: approx 44 mins.
3) Bus to MGM, then bus to Epcot. Time: approx 42 mins.

Hope that helps!!

Hey guys... thanks for these sites! I've become the local 'disney expert' and I haven't ever found anything to help explain the transportation system! And the on line maps are a real find... I keep bringing copies back from the parks to hand to friends!
Great info!
