A Night Out On the Monorail

If you love Disney World parks then you'll love this fun idea.

Grab a friend who loves Disney and drive to the Orange Garage at Disney Springs for FREE, covered parking. 

When you enter Disney Springs from the escalator you will want to take a right at the bottom toward Disney Buses.

Board the bus to Wilderness Lodge.

Exit the bus at Wilderness Lodge and make your way to the lobby.

Head to the front desk or concierge and ask if any Disney character is hiding in the lobby or bookshop. 

If yes then ask what the rules are and then enjoy the treasure hunt.

Once you find the character, take a picture and show the front desk for a free gift!! Also post it on IG and tag me @Michelle.Spanos or FB @MichelleChuteSpanos

PRO TIP: Do this at every Disney resort you visit for a fun collection of Disney pins from each resort.

Once you're done in the lobby, make your way down to the water front and the Geyser Point Bar and Grill.

Enjoy a drink or a snack while you wait for the geyser to go off.

Every hour, on the hour the geyser goes off!!

Follow signs to the boat to Magic Kingdom.

Getting off at Magic Kingdom enjoy the outside of the Park, take photos with train station, people watch.

Take the walking path to the Grand Floridian Resort. Enjoy the grounds and the lobby looking for Disney characters on all the lobby floors, upstairs and down.

Grab a monorail ride to the Contemporary Resort and enjoy all this unique resort lobby and grounds has to offer.

Hop back on the monorail to the TTC, transferring to the EPCOT Monorail. If you have timed it right you have boarded the monorail to EPCOT 10min before or at the start time of the EPCOT fireworks and will see the show as you round the EPCOT ball in the monorail.

DO NOT GET OFF.

Stay on and get off at the TTC.

Walk or ride to the Polynesian and grab a seat on the beach to watch the Magic Kingdom firework show.

After the show, grab a bus back to  your car at Disney Springs.

Drive safe and have fun with your Disney Peps!!
