The monorail from Epcot will drop you off at the TTC, and then you’ll have to take the ferry or monorail across the lagoon to MK, along with everyone driving or taking rideshare or an offsite shuttle to MK. The bus from CBR will drop you off at the MK itself. We like the ferry, but only use it when we’re staying offsite and driving to MK. If we’re onsite, we’re taking the bus directly there!
Bus, no question. The walk from the Epcot Skyliner station to the monorail is probably around 3/4 mile. Then you have to go to the transportation & ticket center, offload, go DOWN the ramp, back UP the ramp to the local monorail to MK. In the PM, the buses won't likely be full (unless it's raining), and there is a monitor at the bus stops that shows the bus timetable. The timetable is also on the mobile app.
Thanks for the help
You can go straight to Bell Services, drop off luggage and head to the parks. All they’ll need is your name and the number of pieces you’re checking. Once you get your room number, you can either pick up your luggage on your way to the room or call from the room to have them bring it up. They won’t deliver it to the room unless you’re there to receive it (and tip, of course).
Had to go back and look at my txt string from a year ago when we did almost the same thing you did, except we drove our own car instead of uber. We initiated the process via the app first thing that morning and got a reply saying the room wasn't ready. We stopped at the front desk to make sure our magic bands and phones were all synchronized, parked our car close to where our room was going to be and went to HS via the Skyliner. We were there at rope drop.
Good to know! Thank you!
Good idea about checking to see if everything is synchronized. Sounds like it went really smoothly. Thanks!
That time of day, take the bus from the resort to MK. If you are later in the day and people are heading to MK for the evening and the bus stops are busy, I am a fan of taking the Skyliner to HS, then the bus from HS to MK. Is it faster? Probably not, but at least I don't have to stop at every bus stop in CBR before we finally head off to MK.
I did “near the skyliner” on my last trip and they put us in Aruba near the Riveria skyliner stop.
Awesome, thanks! I wanted to make sure that my specific building requests (44, 45, 51 and 52) and the "Near the skyliner" request didn't conflict.
I've stayed at CBR several times but it's been over a year since our last stay but doubt it's changed much. The bus stop order was clockwise and can vary, first stop will either be Martinique or Jamaica depending on where the bus originated. We have most recently stayed in Jamaica and chose this area for the proximity to the skyliner and the bus stop but it's not ideal if you go to the lobby often.
We've stayed at CBR multiple times. This is what I have found to be true, each time.
