Just past the monorail at ttc, epcot riders are being sent to the buses
 
This is why I just take the bus to Epcot from MK, the monorail is just not reliable.
 
There isn't a bus from MK to Epcot and vice versa.

There is always a ttc to epcot bus and back. Doesnt run that often but its there. Im actually not sure where to get it in epcot but ttc is next to guest pickup and taxis follow the bus signs.
 

I guess I'm remembering riding a bus to Epcot because I always stay at Epcot resorts and I ride it to the resort then go in the IG entrance. I rarely ride the monorail between the two parks because I find it tends to take longer than just bussing to the resort then walking over.
 
Maybe it was because of the rehab, but a few weeks ago we rode it several times and it felt like there wasn't any air conditioning in it at all, hence our nickname to it: the saunarail. As soon as the doors reopened it felt like a refreshing cool breeze outside....in the heat of June.

TTC to Epcot bus only runs when the Epcot beam is down, does not run at the same time as the beam does. It goes into play every night at 11pm when the beam closes until MK park clear, and also comes up in instances like yesterday.

The ACs in the train have a rough time keeping up in the summers. Especially on the express and and Epcot trains. Every time that train arrives in the station, it opens the doors on both sides for a few minutes. Letting that nice breeze blow out all of the cold air. By the time the air temperature build up to a cold level again, you're arriving at the next station and the doors are opening again. It's like sitting in the drive through with all your windows down and the act on max. Your not going to feel that at nor will the car retain any cold with the windows down.

this makes sense for those that need to get to their cars at close of mk.

That makes sense. We typically go in September and never had this issue. I felt temps/heat were similar in September with early June but maybe not.

You got it.

Well an ACs effiecenty also has to deal with hoe much humidity is around. An AC is pretty much a de humidifier, pulls the hot moister out of the air and cools the remaining air. That's why AC units always have a condensate drip. It's definitely been more humid the past few weeks.

Yes I just didn't realize it was that more humid in early June than September. Monorail was cold in September. Early June not just hot in monorail, smoldering hot. I guess there is a difference then.
