I'm in the NYC area. I don't need to take a tram to a monorail to get to the front gate. Just get me there the fastest way possible. I don't think the TTC adds, it only subtracts.

Does it bother you, not arriving at the TTC?

Plus imagine what sending all the resort guests to the TTC would do to the wait times for the ferry and monorail.
I'm trying to figure out how being from the NYC area (NJ?) is related to enjoying a monorail.

People from NYC are always in a hurry and hate taking longer than needed.

Not really. Although we have not stayed offsite since 1996. For me it is just one less hurdle to have to go through to get to the parks in skipping over TTC. Everyone enjoys the parks and experience on their own level though so if you enjoy it then do it.

I am not sure I understand the reason for this statement...
Many people are in a hurry for different reasons including large groups and those travelling with small children. Perhaps those on a limited timeframe or running late for ADR's. There really are many reasons why someone would want to skip over TTC and many may have to do with less commotion than actual time concerns.
Just a counterpoint

Haha. I don't really know. I haven't been to NYC since I was a child but growing up in Connecticut, my mom always made fun of New Yorkers for always being in a mad hurry and never slowing down and enjoying their day. I guess I assumed that was a well known stereotype.I am not sure I understand the reason for this statement...

It bothers me more that I arrive at my office every morning and think, "wait, this isn't the Magic Kingdom."
I'll take WDW any way I can get it at this point.

Well, you are entitled to your opinion, no matter how wrong it is!

I just mean, it's no "thrill" for us to ride public transportation. We do it everyday. It's to get from Point A to Point B. So the monorail ride from TTC to MK doesn't do anything for me or my kids. I'm comfortable with the Disney Transportation, regardless, and it's a means to an end, not an end in and of itself.

I get that feeling when I get off the hotel bus and walk up to monorail or ferry...
It's more than that, to me. In my mind, it's akin to the ferry ride to Liberty Island than the subway. It's more than just transportation to the place. It is a building of expectation.
I've never quite understood the fascination with the transportation and ticket center. If we do have a car, the magic kingdom is the only park that we DON'T drive to just so we can avoid going through that step. To each his own of course, but I just don't understand. Maybe it's more nostalgia than anything, I just really can't see someone saying, "oh boy!!! I'm on the parking lot tram...next up, standing on an overcrowded monorail!!!!"
I'm returning late to the thread I started but I'm glad I did. It's funny, I agree with both sides of the argument. Arriving by tram/monorail will always be part of the magic for me. But I also agree with everyone who talked about the bottle necking. Especially at the end of the day when you are exhausted and just want to get back to your car.
I'm going in October and taking a first timer And I told her we wouldn't be riding the monorail. Even she seemed disappointed. So I think I will heed the advice given and take the monorail from epcot.
It's good to know that others feel like I do

Just confirming that people that are in a huge rush to do things, miss out on a lot. Tram rides are pretty basic, but, it is how I relate to MK. Without it something big is missing from the experience. But, to each his own.

I personally prefer not having to go to the TTC, only because I think having to drive to the parks myself takes away from the magic in a way. I enjoy using Disney transportation my entire trip. Even though I love the monorail, I'd rather just take a motor coach to the main gate than drive to the TTC to take the monorail.
