Contemporary to Epcot for Rope Drop (Bus/Monorail Questions)

[BridgetBordeaux]

I will be staying at the Contemporary the last week of July.

Looking for some recent Summer 2022 data..............


If I want to rope drop Epcot...............

Can I take a bus?
If so, what time does it start running?

If I take the monorail to the TTC, what time does the first monorail pick me up at the resort to take me to the TTC?
What time does the Monorail start going from the TTC to Epcot?

During my upcoming visit, Epcot opens for resort guests at 8am (and MK opens for resort guests at 8:30am)

From memory you can only get the monorail to Epcot from the contemporary - they only run busses for AK and HS. As for timings, I have no idea. Usually transportation starts an hour before the park is scheduled to open (including extra hours), but you might want to see if someone who's been a bit more recently than me has a better answer!

ETA: Busses start 45 minutes prior to park opening, monorail start 30 minutes prior to the earliest park opening on property.

Yep, monorail only unless it down. No buses to Epcot from CR. I can't help you with the times since I haven't stayed there in years.
