Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Melanie!
Nothing says you’re at the Walt Disney World Resort like a Resort Monorail sighting! It makes me so happy to see the highway in the sky in person because it means I’m home in my happy place. *Heart-Eyes*
Melanie, the Resort Monorails at the
Transportation and Ticket Center start running 30-minutes before park opening. I would recommend arriving about 45-minutes before park opening to allow time for bag checks and that will probably put you there right when they begin making their way to Magic Kingdom, Magic Kingdom Resort Hotels, and Epcot. Buses will begin running about one hour before park opening and the ferry boat schedules vary, so check on those once you arrive.
One last pro-tip! Before you arrive, be sure to download the
My Disney Experience mobile app to your smart device. This app is a must-have when touring the parks with tons of great info on the palm of your hand, like park hours, GPS enabled maps and step-by-step directions, and all your vacation reservations and information!
Don’t hesitate to visit us again soon for any tips, planning advice, or questions about your upcoming visit.
See ya real soon,
Emille °o°
