DTD to Epcot - movie and epcot same day?

[marriedmarylander]

We might go to an 11:15 AM movie than go to Epcot afterwards (emh evening). I assume there aren't any buses directly huh? Would that be too much transporation time? Will we have enough time at Epcot from I assume about 2:30 to midnight?

Well … if you’re talking Star Wars at 11:15am … it’ll probably be overloaded with trailers, considering the audiences they’re expecting, so the film won’t actually start until 11:30 or 11:35am. The film is 140 min, which means the movie is over around 2pm. You’ll need to take a bus to Port Orleans and then transfer to the Epcot bus. It’ll take you at least a half-hour to do that, with maybe ten minutes added on either end for wait times, etc. So, you’re probably looking at walking through the turnstiles closer to 3pm. If it’s an EMH day, you should still have plenty of time to see all you want to see between 3pm and midnight.

I'm not sure why you would go to PO. Just take a bus to YC/BC, BWI or Swan/Dolphin and walk to Epcot. If it's a bus serving all those places, get off at the BC since that is closest to Epcot.

Why not take a bus from DTD to either the Beach Club or Boardwalk resort and enter EPCOT via the International Gateway. This would eliminate the need for a transfer and a wait for a second bus.

Ok that makes more sense.

I figured the PO bus would be less crowded, plus it would drop you right at the turnstiles. I think it'll probably take the same amount of time either way.
