Epcot to MK route?

[spedtcr]

Is there a way to get to MK from Epcot other than by bus?

The best way is to take the monorail! You catch it just outside EPCOT's main gate - just follow the signs!

P.S. There isn't a "non-stop" bus between EPCOT and the MK/TTC. You'd have to transfer somewhere to take a bus, or walk to one of the EPCOT area resorts and catch its bus to the MK. Take the monorail! It's faster and a much nicer ride.

Take the Epcot monorail to the TTC. You walk down a ramp and then over and up another ramp and take another monorail to the MK.

The monorail ride is super. And particularly if you have kids, it's just like another attraction.

If you are not in a hurry; you could also take the Monorail to the TTC and then walk over to the Ferry Boat. This is a nice relaxing ride to MK.

I like the ferry ride. It's a perfect view of the castle as you approach. It adds to the magic!

Note it's a little easier going from MK to Epcot than the reserve. If coming from the MK, you can walk right across the monorail platform to the Epcot monorail. The other way, you need to walk all the way down the ramp and back up (or of course walk down and onto the ferry)

That sounds great! We are staying at Beach Club and I was hoping we could go the monorail route and avoid the buses...almost time to go! Anyone have a guess as to how long it would take to walk through Epcot (we're staying at Y&BClub)and get to MK (or vice-versa)? We're leaving a baby with my mom (her choice) and I'd like to leave enough time in my plans to get back in time for lunch.

It's a long walk from the main entrance at Epcot to the International Gateway. I've never done it straight, but I would plan on at least 10 minutes walking at a good pace but not running over anyone. If you're trying to get from BWV to MK or vice versa, it would definitely be faster to get the bus that goes between the resort and the park.

Your best option from the BC is still the bus. You will not be able to walk through EPCOT until the park opens. That means you are unlikely to reach Main Street until at least 9:45 or so. You'll only have 1.5 to 2 hours before it will be time to go back for lunch.

With the bus, you can be there right at opening. Take the bus to the MK in the morning and try the monorail for the return trip!
