Yes, right behind the Buzz Lightyear meet and greet!

(And I also have no self control)

It's actually TTC. Ticket and Transportation Center (or is it Transportation and Ticket Center? Doesn't really matter).


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Seems to depend on who you ask. Those in Vacation Planning, it's Ticket and Transportation. Pilots and drivers, it's Transportation and Ticket Center.


Parties of 33 should consider dividing their parties into two groups of 16 and a half each.

I always thought it was Totally Time Consuming.

Hey, the average MK pipeline time is *only* 50 minutes on design day!

Well, technically, the bus stop is a little past the ODF building which is right behind the Buzz Gate which makes it between Tomorrowland and Main St ... and while we're being technical, I guess we need to add that only cast members with a Pluto permit can ride that bus.

But when the super bypass is open, it moves behind Buzz.

The only time I was ever asked to show my ticket before boarding the Monorail or ferry was to make sure that I had signed my ticket. They had tables and pens setup for just this purpose.

The last time with my family, 2.5 years ago, we went to DQ first and they also had tables and pens setup. Last year with a band group never asked and no tables, but I anticipated the issue and had them sign them before we got to the TTC.

Where they going to stop you if you said you were going to buy your ticket at the MK?

Interesting. The only ticket I signed was my AP. I bought a one-day DQ ticket the last time I was there, and I used it right away, so it probably couldn't have been used by anyone else.

As an aside, it never seems that busy to me at the TTC ticket windows. Or perhaps I just don't ride that way when there are busy times at the parks. It seems like it's a bit of a throwback. I'm old enough to remember when the buses didn't go right to the MK - though back in those days, we took the boats from Fort Wilderness (before cabins, when they had "trailers") :)


Gawrsh, yah-huh!
