BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 From WDWMagic... The Walt Disney World Resort Monorail System will be operating revised routes on both the Resort and Express beams over the next few months.The following changes will be in operation February 3 - 5, February 9 - 12, February 23 - 26, March 2 - 5 2015, between the hours of 11am and 7pm.Monorails on the Resort beam will stop at Magic Kingdom, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort and Disney's Grand Floridian Resort only. Monorails on the Express beam will stop at the Magic Kingdom, Transportation and Ticket Center and Disney's Contemporary Resort.The above changes mean that resort beam guests who wish to get to Epcot will have to first get to the TTC by using the Express beam, and then change to the Epcot beam. Alternatively, direct buses will serve the resorts for travel to Epcot. http://www.wdwmagic.com/transportation/monorail/news/27jan2015-monorail-system-to-operate-revised-routes-on-express-and-resort-beams.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Agreed. Very weird. Why are they doing this? Something to do with the resort monorail stop at the Contemporary? TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 This blows.I'll add this to my list of complaints from this trip...,and we are on day 4 of 14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Memphis 105 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 This can't be right. The resorts Monorail has to stop at MK also. It makes no sense to have a monorail only go between GF and Poly. I guess they are trying to have the monorail resort guest not to have more than 1 stop before their destination. Unless their destination is EPCOT. So if your a GF or Poly guest you have to go to MK switch to the express and then go tot TTC and then switch to EPCOT. I can't believe this will last long unless they are just trying to force more people on to the buses but that doesn't make sense either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There was a typo when WDWMagic posted that info, which has since been fixed. Now they say the resort monorail will stop at MK, Poly and GF. That just makes it a little less weird. It's still weird. The dates they're doing this are weekdays, and I noticed they aren't doing it on President's Day and that week. I think it is for some kind of repair/maintenance work, and not to control crowds.
