8:30am Ohana - what time for Epcot arrival?

[mrsincredible3]

We have an 8:30am Ohana breakfast on our Epcot day (we have a second Epcot day). What time would we reasonable arrive at Epcot? We have two kids with us. I was thinking 90 minutes for breakfast and then 45 minutes to walk to TTC and monorail to Epcot? Does that sound like enough time? Planning to schedule 3 fast pass this day and then walk the world showcase. Thanks. I was thinking if i scheduled our first fast pass time from 10:30-11:30 that would be safe? Any thoughts appreciated, never used the monorail before.

We had our reservation at 8:35am and we were greeted with a long line to check in at the podium and then we had to wait. We ended up arriving at EPCOT at 11am. We pin traded at the resort before we left for EPCOT.

As a rule we allow 90 minutes for any table service and almost always leave long before. We allow 60 minutes to get around property.

That's a fair estimate. We book 'Ohana at 8am every trip knowing that we probably won't be seated until 8:20-8:30am and we're out of the restaurant no later than 9:30am.

Agreed, this is a good estimate. And yes, you can walk to TTC, or you can take the resort monorail to TTC.

Yup. That would be good for someone with mobility issues.

It might be 20+ minute monorail trip:

Poly>Grand Floridian
Stop @GF to unload/board passengers
Grand Floridian>MK
Stop @MK to unload/board passengers
MK>Contemporary
(Likely "brake-test" pausing along the way)
Stop @ Contemp. to unload/board passengers
Contemporary>TTC
Stop @ TTC

Agreed, it is definitely faster to walk it, but it's a nice ride generally at that time of day, not too crowded generally, and we sometimes like the opportunity to ride through. We find that we walk SO much when at WDW that at least occasionally it is nice to take the sometimes slower method that allows to ride instead.
