park hopping from epcot to MK

We are going to be park hopping from Epcot to Magic Kingdom so that we can see Wishes one night during our December trip. I am wondering if anyone can tell me about how long that would take? I suppose we would be taking the monorail (unless there is a faster way?)
We are a little worried we won't make Wishes in time, since we have a 5:45 ADR at LeCellier that night. (Wishes is at 8:00pm)
Thanks!

It will take somewhere between 25-45 minutes to get from the Epcot station to the MK station.
It depends on the number of other guests traveling by monorail when you are.

You will transfer from the Epcot Monorail to the MK Express monorail at TTC.

-----
Remember to add in the amount of time it will take to walk from the restaurant to the Epcot station, and the time it will take to go thru security and the gates at MK and on to a spot to see Wishes.

That could add another 30 minutes or more to the trip, easily.

------
Below is a rough estimate of the Fireworks viewing spots
based on other posters' info on the boards and personal experience.




----------------------------

There is another way to get to MK from Epcot's World Showcase-
Walk out the International Gateway (between UK and France) and
walk to nearby Boardwalk Resort
and board the MK bus from there.

BUT- It likely will not be any faster, nor offer any less walking.
The monorail will be your best bet, IMO.

the monorail is by far the fastest and most direct way to go from Epcot to MK. Plan for about 20-30 minutes to make it because once you arrive at TTC, you will need to exit the Epcot monorail and board the Express monorail to MK. You may be pushing it a bit with your LeCellier ressie, but if you aren't terribly picky about where you watch the fireworks, you should be fine.
