Fastest Route to Food and Wine Festival

[stulaurie]

On our arrival day we are going to meet friends at the Canada Booth at the Food and Wine Festival. What would be the fastest route, we are staying at Pop. Bus to the front of Epcot and walk to Canada or take a taxi to the Beach Club and walk through the International Gateway to Canada? We will only have a couple of hours so we really want to maximize our time.

Second question, we are going to go from Food and Wine to MK for EMH. We will only be doing booths 30 - 36 so staying close to the entrance to World Showcase. Would it be faster to walk to Beach Club and take the bust to MK, or walk to the front of the park and take the monorail?

Thanks

Taxi would definitely be faster. So would taking a bus from the Beach Club to MK. Have fun!

Remember the BC bus will make a stop at the YC before going to MK.

On our last trip the bus stopped at the YC first, then the BC and on to MK

My general feeling is that a taxi is almost always going to be faster than relying on the buses/monorails. So I would take a taxi from Pop to the Beach Club and then enter Epcot via International Gateway. For most folks, the difference in distance between the Boardwalk and the Beach Club isn't really noticeable (less than a tenth of a mile).

When leaving, it depends somewhat on where you are in Epcot, but I generally think it'll be faster to exit International Gateway and head back to the Beach Club to catch a taxi to MK. I would recommend asking the taxi to take you to the Contemporary and then walking to MK. If you say MK to the taxi driver, they will take you to the TTC and then you have to take the monorail or ferry to get to MK. If you go the Contemporary, it's about a 0.53 mile walk (not to bad).
