Epcot to Wishes?!?

[jliucci]

I'm totally bummed..the only nite we could maybe see wishes is the nite we have a 6pm adr at chefs de France in Epcot. Anyone who has eaten here before think we could make it to a 9pm showing of wishes after?

Thanks!!

I'd plan on arriving at Chefs by 5:45pm - you might get seated a few minutes early. Last time we had a reservation there it was pouring, so we headed there 30 minutes early, and we were seated within 5 minutes. It's not a long dinner experience, but I would say to plan on 1.5 from sit down to walking out the door. So, leaving Chefs around 7:30pm, walk to the bus (or your car), you'd probably be at MK by 8:45. We always plan on 1 hour for a ride between parks, but it usually isn't quite that long. You probably won't get a prime viewing spot, but I think I'd go for it.

Since you may be under a time crunch to get a good spot to watch Wishes from, you may want to consider riding the monorail to the TTC and watching Wishes from there. GREAT VIEW and they play the music!

Or take a cab from Epcot to Contemporary and walk to MK.

We knew one night we were going to TRY and do both Illuminations and Wishes so we went ahead and parked at MK took monorail to epcot did our night there and watched Illuminations and then caught the Monorail to MK and watched wishes!

I agree with bbjunkie. Easily doable, and great view from there.

Thanks for the help. Should I use a FP for wishes so we have a good spot? Thanks!!

Chefs is right next to the back door of Epcot which is right next to the Beach Club A five minute walk to the BC bus stop and off to MK. Even with a 15 minute wait for a bus, you should be there in less than 35 minutes from the time dinner ends.
Did you look at maybe changing the reservation? Chefs de France has always been available when I checked.

Just checked a number of days from today to Christmas Eve. Plenty of times available to dine earlier if you can. As far as FP+, if you use a FP at Epcot, you can't use one at MK.

Change your ADR to a little earlier time and you won't have any problem making it. If you get a FP+ for Wishes get there early enough to get to the FP+ area. It will be crowded along Main Street. Transportation wise Spoiledraf has a good idea with the walk to the Beach Club and catch a bus to the MK. Cheers!!!!!

This would be my suggestion also. MUCH quicker than walking to the front of the park.

I agree with the two who said walk thru Internat. Gateway to BC and take the bus... when we were at WDW last year one of our best meals was dinner at Les Chefs! We had everything from apps to dessert and it probably was about 1.5 hours but we took our time. We had a great table and friendly server. Have fun!

Or take a cab from Epcot to Contemporary and walk to MK.

Or if you're using Disney Transportation, walk out the IG and take a bus from the BC/YC to the MK.

 

[Pinnochio]

I would walk out the front entrance and hop the Monorail to the MK....

Or walk to the BC and take a cab. Even quicker.

Remember that there is no direct monorail to MK from Epcot.

There is an Epcot to TTC monorail, then exit that train and walk down the ramp and over to the MK Express monorail to complete that final leg of the trip.

I would take a taxi from the Beach Club to the Contemporary

Then, this one is even better.
