We had a good experience with the Monorail System during our recent trip to Disney World. We took the monorail from Magic Kingdom to the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) and then transferred to the EPCOT line to get to EPCOT. We had no issues. The EPCOT Monorail Station is located just outside the main entrance to EPCOT. You can't miss it, and there's a Joffrey's Coffee stand right next to it (the unofficial monorail station landmark). I've read that this Joffrey's location typically has shorter lines than the Joffrey's kiosks inside the park. I think the 12 Mark VI (Mk6) monorail trains look cool. They're sort of retro-futuristic, at least for the time they were rolled out (1989-1991). Interesting Fact: While they look identical, Monorail Peach (which joined the fleet in 2011) has a unique history. It was constructed using the undamaged center cars from the retired Pink and Purple trains following an accident in 2009, with two brand-new cabs built to finish it off. Because it was "reborn" from the parts of two other trains, many Disney fans have nicknamed it the "Phoenix" train. If you want to see if you're on the "Phoenix," look for the peach-colored stripe. As of April 2024, it also features new black deltas (the small triangular accents on the stripe) and a completely refurbished interior with updated black flooring and fresh seat padding. It's one of the sharpest-looking trains in the 2026 fleet. In general, I found the trains to be on time, clean, quiet, and comfortable. The stations were well-marked, and the guest flow was handled efficiently by staff. Finally, the Cast Members who operated the trains and manned the stations were polite and courteous. The Pilots even wave at you as the trains enter the stations. All of this is what you expect from Disney (high standards). Tip: If you're heading to EPCOT, try to get a window seat. The EPCOT line does a full loop around Spaceship Earth and the World Celebration area before pulling into the station. It's a nice elevated view of the park's new gardens and architecture that were completed in 2024. read more

Epcot Monorail - Leaving the Monorail Green train from the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) and headed down the ramps to enter EPCOT at Disney World. - Train Stations Near Me - Orlando, Florida

It is great - other than the wait at times to board it, especially if the weather is hot and humid!

The cutest train that can take you from one location to another. Very clean. Can get packed on very busy days at the park. It's faster than the buses that you can take to get to other parks. I love this option. read more

The Monorail to EPCOT is a good way to move from your resort to EPCOT. The monorail system is not as efficient as the Sky Liner but it does offer another perspective and view of the park. Regarding the EPCOT monorail I like the view as you enter the park, I actually got to excited to see characters moving around the park as it prepared to open, by characters of course I mean by Boo, Minnie Mouse. LOL. read more

So the monorail is looking a little dated but I still love it. It's a great opportunity to see the Disney grounds. Limited stops but you get where you need to go read more

We had a great experience on the monorail. The monorail was very clean and nicely accommodated those in our party with special needs. Staff was very friendly and proactive in helping provide navigation and equipment to help board. The monorail has beautiful views of the castle, the Epcot ball, and the parks in general. I would definitely recommend and return. read more

"Please stand clear of the doors. Por favor manténgase alejado de las puertas." I bet you just said that in the announcer's voice if you have been to Disney recently. I can easily quote it using the exact cadence - the monorail system is my transit of choice when visiting Disney. I haven't had any issues with the monorail system- EXCEPT when I am trying to go to Epcot. This is where it gets unreliable for me. Maybe some days I am just not supposed to go to Epcot and other days I am just supposed to stay there instead of going back to my resort. It is annoying and unpredictable. I am just thankful when it works and I always plan for a back up option when Epcot is my destination. These trains are getting old and are overdue for some maintenance and updating, but I just can't imagine how crazy transit will be for the years that they are out of commission. I'm sure the day will come and I will complain every visit- but it is definitely about that time. The Epcot line only goes between TCC and Epcot. My monorail tip is to always go to one of the last cars so you have a little extra standing room. Be kind to the people around you and don't forget to wear your deodorant. If you have kids- convince them that this is just a really fun ride- they will be dazzled. I've heard several kids wanting to "ride again!" read more

The Epcot Monorail only goes back and forth from the Transportation and Ticket Center and Epcot itself. If you are trying to get to The Magic Kingdom or one of the monorail resorts (The Grand Floridian, The Polynesian, or The Contemporary), you'll have to get off the monorail at the T&T Center and hop on another one. Coming into Epcot from the T&T Center gives you a really nice few. The monorail circles around Spaceship Earth and Future World. The is a great opportunity to take some great photos. The monorail at Epcot is also the ONLY one with an elevator for those in wheelchairs. This may not seem like that big of a deal, but the ramps going up to the monorails are very steep. If there's not line, it's not so bad to push someone up. But when there's a long line coming down one of those inclines, it can be pretty difficult to hold a wheelchair still. I've actually inquired at Guest Service about why the other monorails locations don't have elevators and they told me it's because the one at The Magic Kingdom and the T&T Center were built before the ADA Guidelines were put into effect. They said it would require a major shutdown of the monorails to install the elevators and it would really hold up transportation for the guests for quite some time. Anyway.... now you know if you were curious like me. Just like at The Magic Kingdom, the Epcot Monorail gets jammed packed at the end of the night when the Park is closing (after Illuminations). You'll be waiting in a long line and then you'll be placed into one of the monorail cars and packed in like a sardine. So, if you've seen Illuminations before, I highly recommend you get out of the Park before the show starts so you can avoid the mad dash to the monorails. And I'm always going to give the Disney Monorails 5 stars because they are definitely the most fun way to get around on Disney Property! read more

My all time favorite park. First it was Tomorrowland and now it is Epcot. I love the future theme, architecture, international area. Well done! read more

Very clean! Easy to travel to and from Epcot and Magic Kingdom. Get off at the transportation center if your riding from Epcot to Magic Kingdom. Lots of seats and standing room. Quick and easy! read more

I love the monorail and this particular monorail is a convenient way to get to Magic Kingdom. However (and I don't know if this will change or has changed or was a temporary issue) when we got to the transportation and ticket center from the epcot monorail we had to get out, exit off the ramp and renter on another ramp to get back on a monorail to get to Magic Kingdom. If you arrive to the T&TC from Magic Kingdom you simply have to walk across to access the Epcot Monorail. Has it always been that way that you have to completely exit to get to Magic Kingdom? Not sure but if that's the permanent thing that's not cool. Otherwise its a solid way to get yourself around and I like that when its coming back to Epcot it travels you through Epcot so you can see a little of the park. read more

I mean really, what's not to love about the iconic Disney monorail? The Epcot line is no different. They offer service to and from the Ticket and Transportation Center to Epcot. They ride is a bit long, but the cars are relatively comfy and the views can't be beat. Occasionally you may end up in a portion that doesn't have awesome A/C and on hot days, with the touch of a longer ride, that can be pretty miserable. Overall though, this isn't an issue and we've only hit that "bad" car once or twice in the dozens of times we've been. Overall: A Quick, easy, efficient transport to Epcot and back! read more

I am actually currently leaving the station. It is a very busy night so I understand how this can ruin anyone's night or cause them anguish. However I am very disappointed on how Disney's staff handles this area of the park. I went to board the monorail back to the parking lot from Epcot trekking two strollers and two older women. As I approached the tram I was encountered by a gentleman who I split our party apart. Granted he was going to let me go to the one side that was full and my mother and aunt to the other side. I asked him if I can go with them to the other side. Instead of telling me yes of course he made my mother and aunt turn around and go the other way. First off they were already first in one of the pockets of the tram. Second they made me go to a place that was packed. And lastly my they were older women so why would you make them move? I would be ok if it was just me. But my aunt and mom are older and would have to stand. If it's just me I could care less. But with my children, mom and aunt? Disney is so good with customer service and are always empathetic towards the customer. Today I did not experience that here. read more

Love the monorail! Super handy getting from Epcot to Magic Kingdom! Clean, quiet, low traffic. Easy to find and quick to come. We waited no more than 5 minutes each time. We took a couple monorails and we were there! Started at the silver Epcot ball and made our way over to Magic Kingdom with our park hopper. Definitely recommend if it makes sense for you. read more

Do you like history? Pretending to be a time traveler? Then the monorail at Disney is the place for you! Imagine what it must have been like to be the first people to ride into the future on the monorail, back in 1959. Well, now you can whenever you take the monorail system, because nothing has been changed since it was originally opened in the 1950's!!!! Seriously, does Disney not make enough money to either update or clean these shaky buses? The doors slam shut, making me think there must be many a broken finger of the kids who ride. The seats are old and worn, making me wonder how many butts these seats have seen before mine. The entire experience is dirty, musty, and unfortunately required of you want to move from Epcot to Magic Kingdom (highly recommend, BTW). Shape up and get in the game, Disney. It's 2014, get some cleaner cars. read more

Epcot Monorail - I guess Disney doesn't make enough money to voter updating the cars. Decor and safety are 1970's style. - Train Stations Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Would be 3.5 stars... Located right by the entrance at Epcot, this is the station for those who need to board the monorail back to the Transportation and Ticket Center. When the time came for us to head back to the Transportation and Ticket Center, we went to the station. We walked on the ramp, which brought us right to the boarding area. Here, we waited on the platform for the next monorail train to arrive. Getting to the platform and boarding the train was easy. After waiting for a little bit, the train arrived and brought us back to the Transportation and Ticket Center. The ride to and from was comfortable, especially when we sat down. The scenery was great, especially when we rode through some areas of Epcot. The station can get crowded at times, which may increase the waiting time for you to board a monorail train. Also, the trains themselves can use a revamp. The exterior appeared to be old, and the interior smelled musty. During peak times, trains can be fully packed. Overall, this station serves it's purpose of having tourists board the trains. When waiting in line during peak times, be patient. Always plan your day around the monorail schedule so you'll know when to come here to board. Enjoy the ride. read more

The Epcot monorail station located at the Epcot center at Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida. It is absolutely amazing how efficient expedient Disney is in moving massive amounts of people into and out of their theme parks. You can board a monorail here and take it to the other theme parks, or to some of the other resorts that offer monorail service. Cities in our great nation ought consult with Disney on how to run an efficient public transportation system. One of the best ways to move around Disney property. read more

It didn't smell like a goat pen this time, so they've improved things. It still needs an update and a deep cleaning. I'm not going to complain much because for all its shortcomings it gets the job done. We get where we need to go. We get there quickly and in one piece. Best of all, we don't have to walk or deal with parking again! Thumbs up for that. read more

Walt Disney had a greater vision for Epcot than a lake with dozens of restaurants around it. It was a City of the Future! Instead it has become just another amusement park with long lines where families kill time eating everything they sell at large profits. The Monorail is not a swift future ride the gets you anywhere fast. It is over crowded and the stops are too long. You would be better off with the bus! The only ones who enjoy it are its share holders! read more

Kind of nuts and surreal to be honest--and definitely more art than science. It's convenient, sure--between Epcot and Magic Kingdom. But what if you're at Hollywood Studios? Derp. What if it's an event weekend and the queues are half an hour just to board? Derp. Also: COMPLETELY STICKY. read more

First time trip to Walt Disney World and Epcot over the Summer. We were used to the Monorail being more of an attraction than an actual form of transportation like it's used in Florida. There are three monorail lines. One runs a hotel loop and includes the Magic Kingdom. The other takes you from the Magic Kingdom to the Transportation Center and the other is an express line from the Magic Kingdom to Epcot (this one was down for maintenance during our visit). The Transportation Center is nice. Looks a bit dated and there's really nothing there to do. The Center is also where the Ferry landing is to take you to the Magic Kingdon. We were there during the hot months and the Monorail itself was pretty hot. Seems like there's no A/C on it. The wait times weren't long waiting for the next Monorail to arrive. read more

Took 45 minutes to get from Grand Floridian to Epcot. Monorail stopped 4 times for "traffic" and "maintenance." Walking would have been faster. read more

How stupid do you have to be to make people getting off from the Magic Kingdom walk all the way down the ramp and back up just to get on for Epcot when they connect through a gate? Way to serve your customers Disney! read more

It's a monorail station. It's weird to get into and out of, but it's the best way to get between EPCOT and MK.

I love being able to take the monorail from the Magic Kingdom to Epcot. This station is well laid out, easy to navigate and my favorite stop, my favorite Disney Park! read more

Great to have monorail access to Epcot. There is an elevator to the top of the station that not many people know about. Ask a cast member and they will tell you where it is. The monorail goes around spaceship earth before stopping at the station. read more

The Epcot Monorail Station is great because it's a 5 minute ride over the Disney's Magic Kingdom. The lines are low and they constantly have monorail trains arriving every 5 minutes which is nice. We like to park at Epcot and hop around to the different parks. read more

Disney, you have a huge transportation problem and need to figure it out quickly, you are building resorts faster than you infrastructure can handle. More monorail, dedicated handicap, something....current state is bad. read more
