CR to Epcot via Skyliner?

[Belles]

I'm trying to decide the best way to get to EE at Epcot from CR. Would you take rideshare to CBR to Skyliner, rideshare to Riviera Skyliner or rideshare to Beach resort and walk?

 

[Ross Kratter]

None of the Skyliner or walkable resorts would let rideshare drop you off without an ADR or resort reservation. Your best bet would be a Minnie Van to Beach Club or Boardwalk.

As @Ross Kratter shared, ride shares cannot drop off at Disney Resorts. You could take a ride share to Swan/Dolphin and get dropped off there.

Are you attempting to ride Remy during EE?

Another option is you could take a bus to DHS and then either walk, take a Friendship boat or Skyliner to International Gateway if Remy is what you want to ride but, these will all take time.

I ~think~ the most time efficient could be bus to DHS and then walk/Skyliner/boat. Today for example both Epcot and DHS open at 9, with 8:30 EE. If DHS bus from CR started running around 7(?) and you got on first one, you’re 10-15 to DHS stop and then about 20 mins to International Gateway depending on how you choose to go.

Alternative would be walk from CR to MK, go through security, and then bus to Riviera, but between the security step and not knowing how return buses to resorts work that early, I think it’d be a bit of a dice roll.

Rideshare to Swan/Dolphin does work, but boat or walk from there to IG can take 15-20 minutes as well.

Pretty sure the easiest way to Epcot would be the monorail.

Or rideshare to Epcot.

Getting to the Skyliner takes a lot more steps unless you're staying at a Skyliner resort.

You'll be wasting a lot of time trying to get to the Skyliner to enter through IG...

Just take the Monorail and get there early so you can be among the first to be walking towards what I assume is Remy?

Agree! I can never understand why anyone wants to spend an hour getting to the IG to save 20 minutes in a ride line. I’m a YC regular. You don’t save many steps getting from DS or Swan/Dolphin vs the front of Epcot either.

Don’t try to rope drop Remy from the front. IG is known to let people into the park before EE starts and many people use that too get in line for Remy.

OP if you’re trying to RD Remy I’d rideshare to Swolphin and walk to IG. That said I don’t think it’s worth it. Given the average wait times of Remy and Frozen I think you are better off to rope drop Frozen from the front of the park and wait for Remy later.

I haven’t seen anyone able to get in line early. The front entrance lets you tap in early & they stage you inside, IG does the same thing. You are held a little inside the park. I’ve been at the back of the rope drop line & people from the front were getting to the bridge the same time I was. And Remy was still a walk on when we got there.

Interesting! When I did it, been a bit though, IG was staged inside but the front hadn’t been released to the France bridge yet. Front entrance was at a distinct disadvantage to everyone arriving from IG.

I would recommend taking normal transportation and rope dropping Guardians, Test Track, or Frozen. It's not worth the extra steps to make it to IG and get on Remy first. Use than Rideshare or Minivan money on multipass and make Ratatouille your first selection.

Thank you that's a good idea. I have LL for Guardian at 9:25 and I have a DAS pass (which I never used before) for granddaughter but she is not the type I can rush along so I was hoping to do Remy before Guardian. Maybe we can try to rope drop Test Track and Frozen before and Das after Guardian

If you get the first bus or monorail to Epcot, you'll definitely have time to ropedrop Frozen or Test Track before the Guardians LL. Maybe even both, or one of them plus Mission Space. Then use Remi as your first DAS reservation (I haven't used it either, so I'm not sure how it works).
