The Walt Disney World Monorail system is not just
an amusement park ride. It is a transportation system. The original 2
track loop around a lake serves the many hotels, the Ticketing and
Transportation Center (TTC) and the main entrance to the Magic Kingdom.
One track is an express serving just the TTC and MK. The other track
makes the milk run serving all hotel stops.
The other line is a single track line serving Epcot
Center. It starts at the TTC and runs in one long loop (Some may argue
this is a double track), to Epcot Center. There is talk of expanding the
monorail system to serve more hotels, water parks, MGM and Animal
Kingdom. Lets hope they do, there is a lot of traffic and the buses are
not enough.
