Thank the maker!

Awesome news! Is it for training/testing on Sunday or actual guest operations?

They’ve been training, so this should be within the week.

I'm hearing it's possible it will not open to guests until Monday. Don't hold me to that though.

The exact day the Poly reopens to the public......color me shocked.

If I wanted I could go back and find my post from months ago predicting this. Internet high five to us both calling this.

Does the mid-august date for the end of Poly bus service to EPCOT hint that is when the Poly monorail station is expected to open?

Certainly seems to suggest it.

Tock away @marni1971! It’s back!

We welcome and look forward to the next Tick. (FP+, Fantasmic!, parade, etc)

That was my question too. Seems likely they anticipate the station at Poly open around mid-August. Anyone know of any other reason they would offer buses until then?

It also looks like that park-to-park bus service between MK & Epcot will be discontinued on July 18.

I was really afraid they would use Covid as an excuse to close it permanently. Glad they didn't. Credit where credit is due.

Only Disneyland leaves transport systems abandoned.

But at least they are getting parades back!

IMO the EPCOT Monorail is one of the park's best rides...and you don't even need a ticket to ride it!

How is security handled? Are you now behind security, having gone through it at the TTC or do you have to re-enter security as previously?

No security needed at EPCOT having been screened at the TTC.
