Monorail vs. Ferry Boat - Should you take the Monorail Or Ferry Boat At WDW?


 Should you take the Monorail or Ferry Boat to Magic Kingdom?
Monorail vs. Ferry Boat

This is kind of a debate for my family once we take the trams/walk to the transportation area of Magic Kingdom.  Should we take the Monorail or the Ferry Boat.  Mostly it can depend on a few things.  
  1. The crowd calender of the parks at the time. 
  2. If you are traveling with a stroller.
  3. How well you do with ramps.
  4. and if it is your first trip the the parks
Here are the facts.

Monorail-

The Monorail system was first  ran on October 1,1971, and expanded to Epcot on June 1, 1982.  The Monorail can transport  7,000 guest per direction per hour.  On an average 15,000 guest use the Monorail each day.  With a system that covers 14.7 miles, the Monorail can take on a different look by decorating them with wraps.

Runs 8am to 1 hour after park closing hours.
On the resort side 7 am to 1 hour after park closing times.
Runs every 15 minutes or sooner.   


Ferry Boats-

The first Ferry Boats were launched with the parks first opening. Boats can transport 600 guest and 3 crew members per hour.

Runs 7:30 am to 1.5 hours after park closing hours.
3 Ferry Boats run during peak hours
2 Ferry Boats run late night.
Runs every 10-20 minutes.

So, you say which should my family choose.

On your first visit I suggest taking the Monorail to Magic Kingdom and the Ferry Boat on your way back to the parking lot.   

Tell which is your family's favorite way to travel to Magic Kingdom.

Disney Downtown Princess Parade

 While doing some shopping at Downtown Disney in Orlando, and a brief ice cream break, I walked by the cutest thing ever.  The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Princess Parade.  Where little princesses dresses in their royal gowns parade down to the other end of the market.  
  • Weekday Parade times: 2pm in the afternoon 
  •  Weekend Parade times :12 noon

The cast members in the nearby market shops come out to cheer the Princesses on.  Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique shop price ranges from $50-$240 for your little princess to experience  ultimate royalties of Downtown Disney.  

The dresses and service change based on the season.  If you are ever in Downtown Disney during these hours make sure and stop for the Princess Parade.  The Parade starts at the World of Disney store.
