TheTransportation and Ticket Center (commonly abbreviatedTTC) is anintermodal transportation hub served by monorails, ferries, and buses at theWalt Disney World Resort inBay Lake, Florida. The station serves all three lines of theWalt Disney World Monorail System, as well as conventional bus and taxis in the Greater Orlando Region.
The Magic Kingdom lies more than a mile away from its parking lot, on the opposite side of the man-madeSeven Seas Lagoon. Upon arrival, guests are taken byparking lot trams to the Transportation and Ticket Center (commonly abbreviated "TTC"), which sells tickets to the parks and provides transportation connections to the Magic Kingdom.[2][3] To reach the park, guests can use either theWalt Disney World Monorail System or aferryboat.[4][5][6]
The main monorail loop has two lines. The outer loop is a direct nonstop loop between the TTC and Magic Kingdom (called the Express Line), while the inner loop makes additional stops at the Contemporary, Polynesian, and Grand Floridian resorts (called the Resort Line).
Epcot is accessible by a spur monorail line that was added upon that park's opening in 1982.
Orlando'sLynx public transportation service serves the TTC. From the TTC, most routes head north towards the Magic Kingdom Cast Bus Station, intended for employees only. To the south, route 56 offers frequent service toKissimmee station viaCelebration, route 300 offers frequent express service toLynx Central Station inDowntown Orlando via the Lynx Disney Springs Transfer Center, and route 303 offers peak-only service to the Lynx Washington Shores SuperStop.[1]
Shades of Green, a hotel operated by theArmed Forces Recreation Centers on the Walt Disney World Resort property, offers a shuttle between the hotel and the TTC.[7]
The Transportation and Ticket Center at Disney World alsoserves as a hub for anyone traveling from the Magic Kingdom area resorts or the Magic Kingdom Park to EPCOT.[8] Guests staying at the following resorts would need to utilize the TTC to reach EPCOT as bus service is not provided:
Guests staying at one of these resorts will board the resort monorail and get off at the TTC. They will then transfer to a separate monorail line serving EPCOT Park.
Guests who wish to park hop from the Magic Kingdom to EPCOT will board the monorail outside of the Magic Kingdom and ride it to the TTC. They may also take the ferry boat to the TTC. Once there, they will utilize the spur line that runs from the TTC to EPCOT to access the park.
The TTC has a parking lot with 12,156 spaces.[9] Due to its size, Disney Transport operates two parking lot tram routes named Heroes and Villains, and the various sections of the lots have matching theming. The parking lot at the TTC is organized as follows:
| Row No. | Name (2011–present) | Name (1971–2011) | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100–109 | Woody | Chip & Dale | Heroes |
| 110–126 | Simba | Pluto | Heroes |
| 127–146 | Mulan | Daisy | Heroes |
| 200–208 | Aladdin | Minnie | Heroes |
| 209–225 | Peter Pan | Goofy | Heroes |
| 226–237 | Rapunzel | Donald | Heroes |
| 304–311 | Jafar | Sleepy | Villains |
| 312–328 | Hook | Happy | Villains |
| 329–340 | Ursula | Sneezy | Villains |
| 400–409 | Zurg | Dopey | Villains |
| 410–426 | Scar | Grumpy | Villains |
| 427–436 | Cruella | Bashful | Villains |
In addition to transportation and ticketing, there are a few other services at the TTC. In the main TTC plaza there is a Joffrey's Coffee kiosk. Across the parking lot is the Car Care Center which includes aSpeedway gas station, an auto repair shop and aAlamo Rent a Car location.[10] Additionally the Car Care Center houses one of Disney Transport's bus depots.
There are nearly 40 bus stands located south of the monorail station. In the late 1980s/early 1990s this bus station was used for buses to and from hotels in other Walt Disney World Resort areas and to and fromDisney's Animal Kingdom andDisney's Hollywood Studios theme parks. To reduce the traffic passing through the TTC, a bus station was built closer to the Magic Kingdom. However, the station was quickly filled up and theDisney's Animal Kingdom andDisney's Hollywood Studios operated out of the TTC instead of the Magic Kingdom bus stop. In December 2013 a third bus loop opened at the Magic Kingdom station, leaving the TTC without any regularDisney Transport bus routes.[11][12]
