Magic Kingdom Resort Area
This is the most enchanting resort area in all of Walt Disney World® Resort. Six resorts hug the shoreline of two bodies of water, the Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake, all accessible by either monorail or boat to Magic Kingdom® Park. Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Resort, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa surround the Seven Seas Lagoon with magical views of Cinderella Castle; all four connect to each other as well as to Magic Kingdom® Park and Epcot® (via the Ticket and Transportation Center, or TTC) by monorail. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and The Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge are not connected by monorail to Magic Kingdom® Park; however, they are accessible to the park by boat with the added plus of a pristine setting smack dab in the middle of a pine forest fronting beautiful Bay Lake.
Those driving for the first time to the Magic Kingdom Area Resorts may feel confused when the signage seems to be leading straight into the Magic Kingdom® Park parking lot. You’ll need to drive up to the second turnstile on the right and advise the parking lot attendant that you’re checking in and they will wave you past. Stay to your right and follow the signs to your resort.
