At present, Disney charges $17 per day for parking when going to one of their 4 major Parks (Magic…read moreKingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom) unless you are staying in an official Disney Resort or unless you have an annual pass which includes parking. $17 per day is a bit steep, then again, what at Disney isn't?! One way around having to pay the astronomical parking fee is to park at Downtown Disney and take one of their buses to one of their Resorts and then head to your Disney Park of choice. If you're heading to Magic Kingdom or Epcot, a good choice is to take a bus going to the Contemporary Resort because you can then take the monorail. If you're heading to Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom, a good choice would be Port Orleans. The buses at Marketplace at Downtown Disney do not start running until noon. If you want to get to a Park earlier than that, park at Pleasure Island (West Side) and you can catch at bus earlier. There are signs marked with which stop number to wait at for the bus you want. There are also Cast Members around to answer questions and help get you where you are wanting to be. The Disney bus transportation is great. The buses are comfortable and air conditioned. The drivers are safe and are generally very nice and friendly. Keep in mind the buses aren't going to go directly from the Marketplace to the end destination. They often have to stop at Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach and they will often have to stop at another resort as well. So just sit back and relax. There are times when the buses get extremely packed. It depends on the time of year, the time of day, and the resort you are staying at. The "economy" resorts are usually always packed and sometimes you may have to wait for a second bus to come because the first one may fill up. The buses do run very frequently. On average, you'll never have to wait more than 20 minutes for a bus, but sometimes, I see buses heading to the same place show up within minutes of one another. One thing I do hate is that here at the Marketplace they have taken out the benches, so now you have to stand and wait for the buses. They are still doing construction in the area, so I'm hoping they are going to be putting the benches back! Finally, I'd just like to remind all you men to have manners. If you see an elderly person, a pregnant woman, a mother holding a sleeping toddler, etc., then please, please, please, get your tail up and give the person your seat so they don't have to stand! I get so damn irritated on these buses because I see perfectly healthy young men sitting on their lazy, rude a$$es while some poor mother is holding a sleeping child in one arm and trying to hold on to the bus straps with her other hand. So, for goodness sakes, do the right thing!!

Of the many iconic attractions at Walt Disney World, a top one is the Monorail which is an…read moreelevated, single track form of transportation. It first premiered at Disneyland before opening with the rest of the Disney World resort in 1971. Walt Disney wanted the Monorail to be more than just an attraction, he viewed it as an integral part of his utopian Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow (EPCOT). Disney saw the Monorail as a way to interconnect the cities of the future. While Walt Disney's utopian city never came to pass, the Monorail is still running today. The nearly three-mile Monorail takes guests between Magic Kingdom guest parking and the Transportation and Ticket Center. It also goes between three resorts along the Seven Seas Lagoon: the Grand Floridian, the Polynesian, and the Contemporary. The Grand Floridian opened in 1088 at which time the Monorail station was added. You do not have to be a resort guest or going to the parks to ride the monorail. You can park at any of the hotels and go for a ride on the loop. There is a second Monorail route that takes you from ticketing to Epcot. I recently hopped on the monorail to travel to the Grand Floridian to view the annual giant gingerbread house. When I arrived at the Grand Floridian they did not have any guest parking. I drove to the Polynesian which is the next hotel over and from there it was only one quick stop to the Grand Floridian. The Grand Floridian Monorail stop is very elegant as befitting the most expensive Disney hotel. You are let out on the hotel's second floor. If you are entering back into the monorail service area, you will have to go through security first. While it was only one stop to the Grand Floridian, to get back I had to ride the entire loop to the Polynesian. All of the cars were filled so that meant standing room only. I did get to catch the fireworks over the Magic Kingdom. They used to be nightly but since Covid it is only only select nights. Something else I missed was being able to ride in the first Monorail car with the conductor. After a couple of accidents they stopped the practice of letting guests up there. Nevertheless sitting or standing it is always fun to ride the Monorail and this the fanciest station on the loop.

There's security, bag scanning, and the like as you enter the resort and leave it to get on the monorail.

This gift shop definitely had a few pins and merch that I hadn't seen yet at other spots and didn't see again throughout all the other places we went, so highly recommend!

That window allowing the breeze to circulate through the cabin is so nice, even when it's hot out. I understand that when the parks are busy, the gondolas need to be filled to meet demand, however, i am perfectly fine waiting longer if that means we get our own gondola instead of sharing with other guests. Overall, the day was nice and the company we shared the gondola with was nice too.

We used the Disney Skyliner multiple times during our recent visit to Disney World. This included a…read moreride from EPCOT to Hollywood Studios. That ride took about 15-20 minutes total, including walking time at the stations. We boarded at EPCOT's International Gateway (the only place at EPCOT with a Skyliner station) and took it to Disney's Riviera Resort. That ride took about 10 minutes. We stayed in our gondola, rode it through the Riviera Resort station, and headed to Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. The Caribbean Beach Resort station is the Skyliner's main hub. All three lines converge and any line-to-line transfer can happen at this station. We transferred at the Caribbean Beach Resort station to get to Hollywood Studios. We did not have to exit the station to switch lines. The ride from the Caribbean Beach Resort to Hollywood Studios took about 6-7 minutes. Luckily, there were no lines or wait times at the time of our visits to both the EPCOT International Gateway and Caribbean Beach Resort stations. Overall, the Skyliner system was convenient and in very good condition. The Skyliner opened at Disney World on September 29, 2019, so it's a relatively recent addition to the parks. The gondolas were modern and clean. All Skyliner staff that we interacted with were polite. The Disney Skyliner station at Hollywood Studios was unmemorable. I do think there can be better signage, maps, and communication at each of the Skyliner stations for clarity.

The buses here will take you to any of the other Disney Parks and also to any of the Disney Resorts.

There are signs posted everywhere so you'll know where you need to go to catch the particular bus you need. There are also Cast Members available to assist you as well. Buses do not go to Downtown Disney from here. If that's your destination, you'll need to go to a Disney Resort first and then take a bus to DTD. One last tip: If you are wanting to go to Epcot, The Swan & Dolphin Resort, The Boardwalk Resort, or The Yacht and Beach Club, there's a ferry you can take instead of the bus. it is sometimes the faster option. If you are looking to go to the World Showcase at Epcot and want to bypass the front of the Park, then definitely take the ferry because it will drop you at the back entrance to Epcot between France and the UK.
