ALERT: Our Secret Monorail Shortcut Is CLOSED Right Now in Disney World

We go to Disney World every day, so we’ve learned a lot of great hacks and tricks for getting around the parks.

Monorail at Transportation and Ticket Center

That’s why we’re always sharing things like our favorite bathrooms (yeah, that’s OUR THING — we have favorite bathrooms), favorite hacks for getting around Disney World, and our favorite secret paths to get around the parks faste r. Well, we also have a favorite way to get to Magic Kingdom faster, BUT right now, that way is closed. BOO.

Okay, so we recently told you about some secret stairs at the Transportation and Ticket Center that will help you get to Magic Kingdom quicker. Basically, you’ll want to head for the Monorail and go to the right side of the Monorail queue. You’ll walk all the way to the end to gate 12, and when you get on the Monorail, you’ll want to be as close to the door as possible. When the Monorail stops at Magic Kingdom and the doors open, you can take a sharp left to see a set of stairs that will bring you to the Magic Kingdom entrance faster than everyone else.

Well, imagine our surprise today when we did this, and those secret stairs were…BLOCKED. They’re closed, y’all! Our secret fast way to Magic Kingdom has been FOILED! There’s currently a rope and wheelchair blocking the path to the stairs.

No!

Of course, we had to ask why, so we asked a Cast Member if it was permanently closed (and secretly prayed he would say “no.”). Apparently, there’s a tile missing there, so it’s a tripping hazard, and it will be reopened once that tile is replaced. But if you’re visiting Disney World over the next day or so, just know that those stairs might still be closed for a little while.
