Dining reservations and monorail closing

[mamato3girls]

I am trying to decide if I should keep our ADR as they are or change them due to the monorail closing. We just don't want a lot of travel hassle during our trip. The first day we may have an issue is the 25th of February. We have a 11:15 am reservation for Chef Mickeys and we will be at Epcot that day. We had planned on taking the monorail and if I'm understanding correctly we should have no problem getting there on the monorail but it will just be getting back from Chef Mickey's to Epcot that will be more difficult. I'm guessing we would just do the bus but would you consider that too long commuting to be worth it? We are open to other dining suggestions, Chef Mickey's isn't a must do for us or anything.

The other day is Wednesday the 26th of Feb. We will be at Magic Kingdom and have 5:50 reservations at 1900 Park Fare. We had planned on doing the monorail but if I'm understanding correctly there is a boat that will also bring us to the GF? I assume that would be an easy enough commute? We really enjoy 1900 Park Fare so we would prefer not to cancel this one but again don't want to waste a lot of time commuting.

The monorail is scheduled to close at 1130 AM (I believe). If it sticks to the schedule, you should be able to ride the monorail from the TTC to CR just before it closes like normal. Otherwise you're going to have to take the monorail to TTC, get on a bus for the CR from there. There's also the option of the TTC to MK ferry and walking to CR from MK. If for some reason you aren't coming from Epcot, just bus to the MK and walk to CR. If you just want a character breakfast that day and aren't attached to Chef Mickey's, Cape May Cafe is located in the Beach Club Resort which is a super short walk from International Gateway in Epcot.

Your 1900 Park Fare ADR is fairly easy to get to. Like you said, there's a boat launch that goes to GF from MK. It's a nice, quick boat ride.
