best way to get to EP?

[disneymoon95]

We are taking my DM on vacation with us again this year but on our waterpark day I think she may go to EP by herself.

What is the best/easiest way for her to get there since we are staying offsite? Should we drop her off at the TTC, an EP resort or can we enter the EP parking lot to drop her off?

TIA

Since you are staying offsite and you are not parking anywhere and are just dropping her off, I'd go with one of the EPCOT area resorts. The two resorts closest to the Intl. Gateway entrance to EPCOT are Beach Club/Yacht Club and Boardwalk. Once you drop her off at the front resort entrance, she'll walk through to the back of the resort and then get on a sidewalk that lines the waterway and walk into the Intl. Gateway entrance. Maybe a 5-10 minute walk, depending on your gait. She could also catch one of the boats, but walking would definitely be faster from those two resorts.

Editing to add: you'll probably have to go through a guard gate at any of the resorts. Just tell them you are visiting for a few minutes and they'll let you through, with possibly a temporary tag in your windshield.

No need to drop her off at a resort - well you can but no need.

There are drop off spots at all the parks and you don't pay for parking to do that - you just tell them at the toll booth and then they will direct you to the area.

For MK its at the TTC so if you dropped her there she could take the monorail over to Epcot or you can drop her at the drop off spot at Epcot.

You can also just take her to the waterpark and have her hop on a bus there to BC/BW as well.

If she wants to take the monorail drop her off at the TTC,if she wants to check out the Boardwalk area drop her off at the sidewalk just past the guard gate at the Boardwalk,from there she can walk through the hotel to the Boardwalk itself where it's a simple 5 minute walk to the IG,she could also choose to take the boat but that would probably be slower.

This is what I was hoping for I think this would be the easiest for her but just never knew if we could drop her off in the parking area! I would be nervous of her getting lost or feeling anxious with the busses or taking the right path from a resort. Although I know she would ask directions. She is used to having us there to lead the way. Thanks for all the responses.
