Another, the resort line, similarly connects the Magic Kingdom with the TTC but also makes stops at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney's Contemporary Resort. The first, the express line, directly connects Magic Kingdom and the Transportation and Ticket Center, or TTC (where Magic Kingdom day guests park) without stopping. Two of those tracks circle the Seven Seas Lagoon. The vernacular typically refers to "the" monorail, implying there's only one, but there's actually a whole fleet of monorails traveling three different lines continuously all day.

If you'd like to ride the monorail but your itinerary doesn't necessarily require it as part of your travels, you're perfectly allowed to hop aboard for an excursion, no ticket required. Like most Disney transportation - including all buses and boats, plus the Skyliner - the monorail is free.
