[JohnnySharp2]

Does anyone know what time the Epcot/MK monorails run from ?

Booked early character breakfast for MK.

This is Julie not Johnny

Hi Julie not Johnny! By looking at your signature line, it looks like you'll be at BWV. You won't be able to get to MK via the monorail all that early. You ca't get to the monorail line at Epcot until Epcot opens at 9:00, unless it's an EMH morning, then it would be 8:00. It's a long walk there from BWV also. I think you would be best served taking the MK bus early. Not sure where you are eating, but you can then take a boat, monorail, or walk (to the CR) from MK to your breakfast.

Just to clarify what I think goofy4tink is saying...

The monorail starts running an hour before Epcot opens. However, you're staying on the International Gateway side of the park. Because you need to walk through the park to get to the monorail, you won't be able to use it until the park is open.

Your best bet is to take the Magic Kingdom bus. These buses start running an hour before the park opens.

If your reservation is earlier than the first MK bus, your best bet is a taxi.

A character breakfast bus to the MK starts running at 6:45 am. We have caught the bus at 7:00 to make a very early Chef Mickey breakfast.

Absolutely correct...this bus will take you to MK, but if you get lucky, you could get dropped right at the CR. Tell the driver, when you board, that you're going to the CR for breakfast, and perhaps he'll go there before he goes to MK. I haven't gotten lucky yet, but some have. However, if you are eating in the MK, lucky you. It's so great to walk down Main St almost by yourself. Be sure to leave time to take some photos then!!

Thanks for all the info.

I just want to say, "Good luck!" Last year we stayed at the Dolphin for the first time to take advantage of the teacher's discount. Anyway, we had a horrible time getting to our breakfasts at 1900 Park Fare and Chef Mickey's. Some CMs told us taxi, but then someone said we should never be made to take a taxi on property to get to something they are offering (the breakfast). We ended up having to take the bus to MK,(which took forever to get there) then ride the monorail to 1900 PF. Another time there was a kind bus driver who dropped us off at CR for CM's.

Anyway, sorry to rant, but kudos to you for thinking of needing a way to figure this out this far in advance. And like I said before GOOD LUCK!!
