food IS a theme park
We know that transportation to the parks can sometimes be a pain.
Disney Bus
This is especially the case when you are trying to get to the Magic Kingdom but need to make it through the Transportation and Ticket Center first. It can also be challenging to get to EPCOT, especially when you are trying to Rope Drop attractions in the World Showcase, but did you know that EPCOT has two entrances?
We go to Disney World every day, and not only have we learned a thing or two about Disney World, but we have also heard some cringey things while we are out and about in the parks.
Magic Kingdom
Now, we know that we have extensive knowledge of Disney, and not everyone cares to memorize every piece of information about Disney World, like where all the best bathrooms are, where you should eat for breakfast, and the hundreds of Disney facts like we do. And that is totally understandable, but we can’t help but cringe when we hear something so inaccurate.
Waking up and arriving at the Disney World theme parks can be like an Olympic sport as well as a team effort.
Magic Kingdom
We totally understand wanting to soak in as much time as possible in the parks, especially if you have saved up for a trip to Disney World for years. There is so much to think about when it comes to getting to the parks early that we are stressing ourselves out just thinking about it, and it made us wonder, why does this Disney World problem even have to exist?
We go to Disney World every single day, and well, let’s just say we’ve seen some things.
Waiting at the Monorail station
One thing we’ve seen is EPCOT completely change into something we almost don’t recognize now (and we mean that in the best way possible). We’ve also seen baby animals born at Disney World, as well as Disney ducks being treated like the royalty they are (maybe Donald is right and ducks are #1). We’ve also seen some cringey things, but more importantly, we’ve heard some cringey things. So let’s talk about one of the places, the Monorail, in Disney World where we’ve heard things that make us shake our heads.
On top of planning for all the fun things you want to do at Disney World, you should probably account for obstacles that could get in the way of having a great time.
TTC
One of those obstacles could wind up being something that is meant to help, like the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC). Serving as the main transportation hub of Disney World, the goal of the TTC is supposed to get you from A to B without too much of a hassle. However, avoiding problems at the TTC won’t always be easy.
When you think of Disney World, what is the first thing that pops in your mind? For many, it may be the Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom is home to lots of iconic rides including Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, and “it’s a small world.”

There is so much to explore and do inside of Magic Kingdom, and while we think it is a truly magical place, there are also some hard truths to know about this park.
This morning we were evacuated off a Disney ride…BEFORE ENTERING THE PARK!
A quick transportation synopsis for those unfamiliar with how parking works at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom: the park’s lots are located near the Transportation and Ticket Center (the TTC) and unless one wants to walk the whole way, they’ll need to take some form of Disney transportation to the theme park’s front gate after parking their car. Options include the Monorail, ferry boats, and in our unfortunate case today – parking lot trams.Â
When was the last time you went to Magic Kingdom at Disney World?
Magic Kingdom’s Parking Entrance
Out of all the parks in Disney World, this one is the one that can give you the most, shall we say “fun”, just trying to get there (IYKYK). It’s all thanks to our lovely friend — the Transportation and Ticket Center (also known as the TTC). We thought we would try to make things a little smoother for you and go over all that you need to know when parking at Magic Kingdom!
If you have been to Walt Disney World, you have probably found yourself fighting through the Transportation and Ticket Center (also lovingly known as the TTC) on many occasions.
Transportation and Ticket Center
We have a love-hate relationship with this part of Disney World. Honestly, a little more hate than love, but it is one of the necessities to grab transportation to Magic Kingdom if you are driving your own car. You can park in the massive parking lot here and grab a ferry or monorail to Magic Kingdom, or a monorail to EPCOT.Â
There are so many transportation options at Disney World!Â
Monorail in EPCOT
Transportation to and from the parks can be a ride in itself! You can hop aboard a Skyliner gondola and take in the views of Disney World from above. You might find yourself in an adorably wrapped Disney bus. Regardless of how you get to the park, different modes of transportation operate at different times so we wanted to give you an overview of all the transportation options available at Disney World!
