Getting to the Magic Kingdom
If you’re staying off-site, prepare for a complicated journey. Either drive or take your hotel shuttle to the Transportation andTicket Center (TTC) inside the Magic Kingdom parking lot. From the TTC you can cross the Seven Seas Lagoon by ferryboat or monorail. Both deliver you to the Magic Kingdom front gates.
If you’re staying on-site, getting to the Magic Kingdom is a lot easier. From the Contemporary Resort, you can bypass the TTC and take the monorail to the Magic Kingdom or walk to the park. From the Grand Floridian, you can either take the monorail or the ferry. From Fort Wilderness Campground or Wilderness
