Disney World monorail lines and stops
Think in three lines. Disney's official page lists the Resort stops and describes the two TTC express services.
| Line | Stops / connection | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Resort Monorail | Magic Kingdom; Contemporary; Grand Floridian; Polynesian; Transportation and Ticket Center | Magic Kingdom resort area and TTC access |
| Express Monorail | Transportation and Ticket Center ↔ Magic Kingdom | Fast TTC / Magic Kingdom connection without resort stops |
| EPCOT Monorail | Transportation and Ticket Center ↔ EPCOT | Magic Kingdom-area ↔ EPCOT trips with a TTC transfer |
Disney World monorail hours
| Line | Disney's current published operating window |
|---|---|
| Resort Monorail | Begins 30 minutes before Magic Kingdom opens; stops 1 hour after Magic Kingdom closes |
| Express Monorail | Begins 30 minutes before Magic Kingdom opens; stops 1 hour after Magic Kingdom closes |
| EPCOT Monorail | Begins 30 minutes before EPCOT opens; stops 2 hours after EPCOT closes |
Where does the Disney World monorail go?
The system serves Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, the Transportation and Ticket Center and select Magic Kingdom-area Disney Resort hotels. It does not serve Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom or Disney Springs.
What are the Disney World monorail resort hotels?
Disney identifies Contemporary, Grand Floridian and Polynesian as hotels with convenient Resort Monorail access. Disney's broader transportation page also lists Polynesian Villas & Bungalows with monorail transportation.
How do you take the monorail from Magic Kingdom to EPCOT?
Use the Transportation and Ticket Center as the transfer point. Travel from Magic Kingdom to the TTC on the Express or Resort line, then transfer to the EPCOT Monorail.
Is the Disney World monorail free?
The monorail is part of Walt Disney World's complimentary transportation system. You do not need a separate monorail ticket.
How late does the monorail run?
Disney currently publishes different windows by line: Resort and Express service extend to one hour after Magic Kingdom closes, while the EPCOT line extends to two hours after EPCOT closes. Operating conditions can still change.
When is the monorail better than a bus?
The monorail is strongest when both ends of your trip are directly on its network. If your trip requires multiple transfers or a destination outside the system, the transportation navigator or My Disney Experience can reveal a simpler route.
