Transportation

Easy transportation is available from all of the resort hotels to the different parks.

Bus System

The bus system is one of the finest available, and there is usually no more than a 15 minute wait for a bus to any location you may wish to go on the property. The only time you may find that there is a delay is at the end of the day when you are trying to go from one of the parks to your resort, in which case you may have to wait for a second bus.

Monorail System

There are three monorail tracks that operate.

  1. A direct line between the Ticket and Transportation Center and the Magic Kingdom.
  2. A resort line which takes you to the following stops:
    1. Magic Kingdom
    2. Contemporary Resort
    3. Ticket and Transportation Center
    4. Polynesian Resort
    5. Grand Floridian Resort and Spa
  3. A direct line between the Ticket and Transportation Center and Epcot Center.

There are twelve different monorail trains, all of which are not in use at the same time. Each monorail train is identified by a different color stripe down the side. Since it takes 10-15 minutes to do a track switch for one of the trains, you will not see them adding more trains to tracks during the day unless there is a problem with one of them. Each monorail train has six cars. If you ask and are patient enough, you can sit in the front with the train operator, maximum of four passengers up front.

Notes

Bathrooms

The bathrooms in the parks at Walt Disney World all use motion sensors to operate. As such, when it comes time to wash your hands you will find yourself battling with the sensors in order to provide enough water to wash by. The time on the water cycle on these taps is very short.

One solution is to keep an eye out for handicapped-enabled sinks, which sometimes have actual knobs to turn in order to turn the water on and off.

Photographers

Disney has gone all out on making sure that you have the opportunity to take your memories home with you once you leave the parks. As such, they have photographers stationed everywhere, including in the resort hotels. These photographers use some proprietary equipment to store the photographs and send them off to a central server, but the base cameras that they are using are Nikon D70's. Be sure to get a Photopass so that you can have them send the pictures that they take of you to a known location.

At night, photographers use tripods to steady their shots.
