Magic Kingdom to EPCOT: TTC transfer and park-hopping decisions
The covered monorail journey connects Magic Kingdom with the Transportation and Ticket Center, then continues on the EPCOT line. A ferry is another covered first leg to the TTC; neither route grants access to a second park.
Check current service for your travel date.
Choose my date & open this route →Separate travel from admission
Before building an EPCOT evening into a Magic Kingdom day, check that your ticket and the current admission rules allow the second visit. The transportation journey only gets you between areas. It does not reserve entry, validate Park Hopper eligibility or confirm that your intended dining reservation fits the time left in the day.
The TTC is the change point
Use the Express Monorail or the ferry for the first connection between Magic Kingdom and the Transportation and Ticket Center, then follow signs to the EPCOT monorail line. The TTC sits outside the theme park gates. Keep the group together through the interchange and ask staff if the operating route differs from the guide.
Finish where you can get home
The EPCOT monorail arrives at the main entrance. Your last attraction, dinner or show may leave you far from the return connection, so plan that final walk too. If your car or hotel is elsewhere, select that actual destination for the journey home rather than automatically reversing this park-to-park route.
