VGF Monorail + Boat Transportation to MK question

[forevercruising]

Hello, all!

I am assuming that a park ticket is needed to board and ride both the monorail and the boat transportation from the Grand Floridian; is that correct? We will only be there for 24 hours, and will not be visiting the park, so I wanted to check to see if there is any chance we will be able to ride the monorail or the boat.

At Disneyland, the park tickets are scanned prior to boarding the monorail, so I am assuming that is the same at WDW, but, thought it couldn't hurt to confirm with the experts!

Thanks!

I have never been checked to ride either the boat or the mono. You can just walk right on park ticket not needed

No, guests do not need a Park Ticket to ride the monorail or the boat transportation on Seven Seas Lagoon. Unlike Disneyland, all the monorail and boat loading platforms at Walt Disney World are outside the Parks. Offhand, I cannot think of any WDW Disney transportation -- bus, monorail, or boat -- that requires ticket media.

I remember talking to a Disneyland CM on the monorail platform about the difference between DLR's monorail and WDW's monorail. At DLR, it is considered to be an attraction; at WDW, its considered part of the transportation system.
