    Marisa from TN Asked Please note that experiences, policies, pricing and other offerings are subject to change and may have changed since the date of this answer.

    We are booked for a stay at Art of Animation Oct 3-10. I have heard different things about monorail resort hopping recently. Will we be able to ride the resort monorail and hotel hop without staying at the monorail resorts?

    Hi Marisa!

    Welcome back to planDisney!

    The new transportation policy only affects those guests specifically traveling from Disney Springs to the resorts. There are currently no other changes to transportation, so I’m happy to report that, at this time, you will be able to board the Monorail to visit those resorts! 

    Visiting Disney World in the fall always adds a bit more magic to the vacation! I always look forward to seeing the Magic Kingdom decor. Plus, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is one of my favorite offerings each year! Tickets are currently on sale if that’s something you’re hoping to attend. 

    In addition to that, the Food & Wine Festival will be in full swing at Epcot during your trip. Here’s a great article from Disney Parks Blog about what we can expect during this year’s festival. 

    The best part for you is that you’ll be just a Skyliner ride away from Epcot since you’re staying at Art of Animation. Plus, you’ll get to enter the park through the International Gateway, which will drop you right in the middle of the World Showcase.

    I hope you have the best trip! If you have any other questions as you continue to plan, feel free to come back and visit us. We’re always happy to help!
