Hey Howdy Hey Jim and welcome to planDisney!
Disney's Contemporary Resort is one of my favorite resorts for so many reasons. Sitting in the Contempo Cafe and enjoying a coffee while watching the
Walt Disney World Monorail go by is just a great afternoon! Thank you for your question about security checkpoints and access to EPCOT. I will be more than happy to give you the details so you can better plan for your upcoming vacation.
I can honestly say that yes, on your day to EPCOT, the security checkpoint you will go through at the Contemporary to get on the monorail is the only one you will walk through. The checkpoint at the Transporation and Ticket Center where you get off one monorail to board another to EPCOT had their security checkpoint adjusted so now you only have to go through one!
If this will be your first time at the Contemporary Resort, there is so much to look forward to. This resort is within walking distance of Magic Kingdom and is a great place to view the nighttime fireworks show. The
Electrical Water Pageant on Seven Seas Lagoon is another show that happens right after the fireworks you won't want to miss it. This parade can be seen from any of the Magic Kingdom Resorts and is a fun way to enjoy an evening.
I hope you have a Magical stay on your upcoming trip. If you have any further questions, please let us know, we are always happy to help!
Have a Magical day,
Nick
