Have you ever headed to Disney World and, when you got there, suddenly wished you had known about a secret path, a hidden gem, or a very important tip that everyone else seems to know? Sometimes you can plan and plan and still wind up not knowing something, simply because there is SO MUCH to know at Walt Disney World. Trust us, we’ve made plenty of mistakes in order to learn from them and become the Disney experts we are today.
Transportation around Disney World is one of the most efficient things at the resort, but it can also be challenging to know all the ins and outs. Plus, as Disney World changes over the years, the rules can suddenly change, too, especially on the Monorail. Mistakes can and do happen. That’s why we want you to know about these three Monorail tips before your next trip to the parks.
It’s the most wonderful CROWDED time of the year! 🎶
The holiday season in Disney World (which lasts from early November through early January) is one of the BUSIEST times of year to visit. Fans flock from all over the world to watch it snoap on Main Street, U.S.A., and to ogle at life-size gingerbread creations and 50-foot Christmas trees. It’s tradition! But there’s another tradition this time of year that people don’t tend to love…the parking crackdown!
Magic Kingdom is a fan-favorite theme park, especially during the holiday season. This iconic park is what many people immediately think of when they start planning their Disney World vacation. There’s the magnificent Cinderella Castle, Main St., U.S.A., and the classic Disney rides.
One thing to consider when you’re planning your trip to Magic Kingdom is your transportation. Unfortunately, unlike the other Disney World parks, you can’t park your car right near the entrance. You either have to jump on the Monorail at one of the surrounding hotels, take a bus from the other hotels, or park at the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC), where you’ll then either take the Ferryboats or the Monorail. If you’re planning to park at the TTC on your way to Magic Kingdom in the coming months, we have some bad news about the Ferry you’ll want to think about before hopping on the boat.
The Disney World Monorail may be one of the most beloved forms of transportation at the resort. However, sometimes things do go wrong. We’ve seen issues where the Monorail has temporarily closed, and well, these things happen.
However, this morning, a fire was reported on the Disney World monorail by @CHRIS_MAGIC_DCL, although by the time it was reported, it seems the fire has been put out.
The Contemporary Resort has been a Disney World icon since the beginning. Literally, the beginning. Along with the Polynesian, the iconic A-frame building opened as one of the resort’s first hotels on opening day, October 1st, 1971.
The hotel is well-known for its unique architecture – the monorail literally goes right through the building, its beautiful views of the Magic Kingdom, the massive Grand Canyon Concourse, and its five-legged goat, and some beloved eateries including Steakhouse 71. However, what many don’t know is that Steakhouse 71 has its very own lounge.
It’s no secret that a Disney World vacation can be very, very expensive. However, believe it or not, one of our favorite Disney World activities is often overlooked, some of the most fun you can have on property, and is completely FREE!
Yes, you read that right, FREE! No cost, no ticket, no entry, and you get to visit some of the best themed environments at the resort! Said activity: GO RESORT HOPPING.
Disney World offers free transportation between the hotels, parks, water parks, and Disney Springs. It’s a great perk of staying at a Disney World hotel!
While it’s nice to have free transportation to practically anywhere you need to go within Disney World, it’s certainly not without it’s faults. There are certainly a few problems with Disney World transportation, and we’re going through five of them that make us VERY mad. But don’t worry, we’ll give you a few tips to avoid these issues, too.
Disney World’s upcoming hotel addition might change many guests’ Monorail Crawl!
The Walt Disney World Monorail has been a key part of the “Most Magical Place on Earth” since day one, when it opened as the resort’s initial main transportation apparatus. The Monorail initially connected the Magic Kingdom with the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC), the Polynesian Village Resort, and the Contemporary Resort. Stops were added to EPCOT and the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa when they opened in 1982 and 1988 respectively.
A scary incident at a popular U.S. theme park fortunately resulted in a happy ending.
According to multiple reports, a young boy was in serious peril after walking along a monorail track at Pennsylvania’s Hersheypark on Saturday, August 30th, 2025. The incident was caught on video and went viral.
