Hey Howdy Hey Jeannine and welcome to planDisney!
There is no better mode of transportation in Walt Disney World Resort that comes close to the
Walt Disney World Monorail, at least in my opinion. This cool and relaxing ride around Seven Seas Lagoon or a smooth ride to EPCOT will take you on a relaxing journey with views you won't be able to get anywhere else. One of the other benefits of the resort monorail is the stops it makes to visit all three of the resorts very close to Magic Kingdom! Taking a ride on the monorail can be a great way to crawl around the loop and experience some tasty food and drink offerings at each stop. Let's see if we can get into some of the details.
In the past, Disney did have a dining experience where you could purchase your ticket to give you exclusive access to stops along the way of the resort monorail to experience the food and drink at
Disney's Contemporary Resort,
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort and
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. Unfortunately, this formal experience from Disney is not offered at this time.
The resort monorail is still running and you are free to ride and make the stops at each location, but a little extra planning on your part to find the places to make the stops and such. There are many resources online that discuss the various stops along the way to experience some of the many offerings from each resort. Three of my top spots to visit at each resort are
Outer Rim in the Contemporary,
Tambu Lounge at the Polynesian and
Enchanted Rose in the Grand Floridian. At these locations, you will have the opportunity to experience a lounge area that is specific to the theme of the location with drinks and food options to match. Grab an appetizer and a drink at each location and make a great night out of experiencing all that each resort has to offer as well as experience the Seven Seas Lagoon from the Highway in the Sky!
