After an exciting yet long and sometimes exhausting day at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, getting back to your car in the world’s fourth largest parking lot can seem like a daunting challenge. After all, the line for the express monorail to the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) can seemingly extend for hours.
But there are several options for you to consider to shorten your wait:
1. Consider taking the resort monorail back to the TTC. Yes, it will require a pit stop in the Contemporary Resort, but it could turn out to be much faster than the express monorail. Maybe you’ll get on after one or two monorails, instead of three or four. Plus, you get the added benefit of looking inside the Contemporary and getting a good look at Chef Mickey’s, one of Disney’s premier character meals.
2. If the main ferry boat looks daunting, consider taking the resort boat the Polynesian Village Resort. The boat, which stops briefly at the Grand Floridian Resort first, will let you off by the Polynesian’s main pool the Lava Pool. From there, it’s about a ten minute walk back to the trams at the TTC. Plus, you get to end the night with some tiki torches and some Polynesian themed music.
Remember, seek adventure and not just seek the status quo. You never know what riches you may find.
