11am FP PP at Epcot by 12:15pm?

We're spending a Fri morning in MK but have a F&W culinary demo at 12:15pm. I'd like to use our 11am-noon FP slot for something at MK. Is an 11am FP for PP (if we are there at 11am in the dot) gonna be ok for us to get back to TT&C, transfer to Epcot monorail and get to the festival center by 12:15pm? (We are not fast walkers.) I honestly have no idea if this feasible or if I'm crazy. The online calc says 34 mins MK to EP but I know enough to know these are big parks & figured I better ask the experts for my exact situation.

We are here right now and have used the Express Transportation between the parks and it has been amazing! You can use your Fp 5 minutes early then head over to the Express Transportation check in desk (they depart every 30 minutes) and get to Epcot. You don't have to go through security or turnstiles at all. Well worth the $29 for 7 days

Oooh... I completely forgot about that...

FYI, check out the Express transportation post. Rumor has it, it's dead. If so, without it, I'd say you're cutting it awfully close...

I just sold my family on the idea 2 days ago. Took like 10 seconds and they were like "yeah! Let's do that!". Soul. Crushed. Yeah, not gonna try for the 11am MK FP now

I agree that you won't make the 1215 demo at Epcot. 11am get in line, wait 10 minutes, do Peter Pan, 3 minutes, exit and walk to the monorail, 10 minutes. Wait for Monorail, 10 minutes. 10 minutes to Epcot, walk to bag check and enter the park, walk to Festival Center, 15 minutes. That's 58 minutes, if everything goes well. I haven't done a culinary demo before, but the doors will probably open at noon if not earlier, and the demonstration will start at 1215. I'd hate to be at the back of the audience, after rushing like that!
