From BC to Monorail in Epcot w/o entering park?

[Esmerelda]

OK...stupid question here. I have stayed at the BC but its been about 3 years. I am trying to remember how to get to the monorail at the front of the park in Epcot w/o actually having to enter the park? My boys are only going to have PHP so I don't want to waste a day on their tickets if we are going elsewhere to do something else (like dinner at one fo the MK loop restaurants or such). I know you can walk but what's the easiest way to the front with going thru Epcot...?

maybe I just need more coffee......not sure here....LOL

I don't believe there is a way to get to the front of Epcot without going thru the park. I would catch the MK bus and transfer to the resort monorail from there.

time101 is correct. You cannot get from the Boardwalk area (which includes the Beach and Yacht club resorts) to the Epcot monorail without going through the turnstiles at the International Gateway. That would count as a park entry against your park hopper. As time101 suggested, take your resort bus to the Magic Kingdom and then get on the monorail.
