Walt Disney World Monorail Resorts

Choosing between the monorail resorts

These are deluxe and deluxe-villa resorts, so the decision is usually about theming, dining, and pool style rather than price tier. Some pair the monorail with walking or boat access to Magic Kingdom, which adds flexibility when lines or weather slow the monorail.

If you want Magic Kingdom convenience at a lower price, compare these against moderate resorts and weigh whether the monorail is worth the deluxe cost for your trip.

Monorail convenience is not the whole story

The monorail is a major perk, but transportation to EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom from these resorts still relies on the EPCOT monorail line or buses. Factor in your full park schedule before paying a premium only for the Magic Kingdom loop.

For a logistics-first look at how the loop works, see our monorail transportation guide linked below.

Frequently asked questions

Which Walt Disney World resorts are on the monorail?

The monorail serves the Magic Kingdom resort loop resorts listed on this page. Each is a deluxe or deluxe-villa resort with a direct monorail station.

Is a monorail resort worth the extra cost?

It depends on your trip. For Magic Kingdom-heavy stays, the one-seat ride is a real convenience. For multi-park trips, compare the monorail perk against moderate resorts and other transportation before deciding.
