Walt Disney Imagineers designed the journey to Magic Kingdom Park as part of the experience—there is no direct parking lot access to the original Central Florida Disney park. Instead, guests not arriving via Disney Resort hotel transportation must park at the Transportation & Ticket Center (TTC), take a parking tram, pass security screening, and board the Monorail or watercraft transportation to the Magic Kingdom. Guests can also park at the Transportation & Ticket Center for Monorail transportation to EPCOT, though EPCOT does offer parking lots for guests.
As the name suggests, guests can also purchase Disney Park tickets at the Transportation & Ticket Center. It’s even home to Walt Disney World Resort’s impressive Lost & Found facility, where personal items are stored after being found throughout Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, and the Disney Resort hotels.
This week, Walt Disney World Resort reportedly made the Transportation & Ticket Center much harder to visit. According to reports from @WDWNT on X (formerly known as Twitter), blue plywood construction walls now surround half of the ticket booths at the TTC.

According to the report, the entire left side of the Transportation & Ticket Center is blocked off, forcing guests to reroute to the right ticket booths in order to proceed through the security checkpoint and access Monorail or watercraft transportation to Magic Kingdom Park or EPCOT. Walt Disney World Resort used both construction walls and rolling planters to block access to the area. Restrooms nearby are still accessible to guests.
Walt Disney World Resort hasn’t publicly commented on this Transportation & Ticket Center construction, suggesting it could be for routine maintenance like repaving or painting. It’s unclear whether the right side of the TTC ticket booths will eventually undergo the same work.
