Best Transportation from Contemporary to Epcot?

[netnurse31]

We have a 9am PS at Chef Mickey's on March 5th and plan on going to Epcot after breakfast. Would it be smart to park the car at Epcot and take the monorail over to the Contemporary? I haven't been to Disney in a few years and I can't remember if it's possible to get to Epcot by monorail vs. driving.

Yes you can travel from EPCOT to Contemporary Resort by Monorail. Take the EPCOT Monorail to Ticket & Transporation Center. There you will change to the resort monorail. You will have to do the entire circuit - Poly., Grand Flor, Magic Kingdom, to get to Contemporary Resort. Very time consuming. Plan 45 minutes of travel time from EPCOT to CR. Since you have priority seating for the breakfast, the gate guard to CR will allow you to park for free in his lot. You could then let the rest of the family ride the monorail back to EPCOT while you move the car. If you do drive over, when you approach the gates to Magic Kingdom car entrance you will need to go to the far right gate and tell the attendant that you have reservation for meal at CR. You will not have to pay to enter the area. From there, follow the signs to CR. Be careful when you leave the CR for EPCOT. You have to go around 'Robin Hood's Barn' to get there because of one-way roads. It is not very direct - but just keep following the signs and you will finally arrive.

We went to the MK for the 1st hour...then hopped a bus back to the Beach Club, and entered Epcot from the International Showcase. We weren't there for opening, but it was pretty fast, and we avoided the lines at the front of Epcot.
