I would definately suggest the bus directly to Epcot. The boat is direct to MK, as previously mentioned. Even then, if you happen to hit the timing right the boat is fairly quick.....but if you don't it can take a LONG time. It took us about 1/2 hr to MK by boat. When we were there (Feb 8-15 this year) there was a direct bus to MK. After our boat experience we went by bus from then on! The only 'downside' to the bus route is that most of the time you have to go to FW to pick up passengers, which adds to your travel time - but it is only about 5 mins and really no big deal. Anyway, probably more info than you want or need LOL!
