Originally Posted By bobbelee9 The best thing about T&T is that I can take the ferry over to the MK. Getting closer and closer to the MK, with the wind blowing into my face. I love that ride. The times we've stayed it Tahiti, it was easier to skip over to the ferry than to hop on the monorail. Their use to be a topiary of Elliot there too.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip I liked the TTC when it was a true ticket and transportation center. You used to be able to go almost anywhere on property from the TTC. Now they have moved that all to Downtown Disney. The TTC was a heckuva lot more centrally located than Downtown Disney is!!
Originally Posted By FenwayGirl You have to try the ferry boat over at least once Danzz. Lots of fun. We usually don't get to the TTC because we stay on sight and are bused to the MK entrance. But we always take the monorail from Epcot so we can see the castle from the lagoon on the first day of our trip. Kind of out of the way, but a family tradition.

Of course Epcot the park isn't EPCOT the city, but the park's location is dead centered on the spot where the city was designed to be, with monorail connections between the two areas. The other parks are laid out very specifically, with a great amount of planning and consideration for traffic flow, care with the environment, etc. As to the TTC, I do enjoy the concept of being somewhat separated from the park, and how you need to get on Disney transportation (monorail or ferry) to get to the park. It can be a bit tedious at the end of the day, though. I'm also glad this thread was titled correctly - Transportation and Ticket Center (not the Ticket and Transportation Center!).
