FW to Epcot?

[ginadv]

Hey All,

I'm SURE this is on here somewhere, but I'm wondering from FW alumni really how long it takes to get to Epcot from the Fort. We're aiming to go for morning EMH on July 1st. We'll be in a cabin and will have a gc, so we don't have to factor internal buses into the timing. We want to be at Epcot by about 7:30. And we won't have a car, which I know would be the most efficient option. So, the scoop please? TIA!!

Leave at 7:00am and drive your own car if you have one. If not leave at 6:30.

Agreed 6:30 should get you there.

6:30 leave the cabin or be at the Outpost by 6:30? Please say cabin!

We won't have a car, but will have the golf cart, so that should help a bit.

There's only 5 minutes diffference. But if you pull up and the Epcot bus is pulling away you're gonna wish you were there 5 minutes earlier.

Man ain't that the truth. If this happens to you your schedule just got set back by at least 20 minutes till the next bus shows up. All I can say is the earlier the better.

Here is my tip for getting into Epcot.

Generally, when you arrive at the turnstiles, there will be a few lines of people waiting to get in. If you look over to the left, you will see a turnstile that says something like Princess Breakfast or something like it with a few CM's standing around it, one usually with a clip board. This is the early entry line for guests going to the breakfast at Norway; however, at park opening it becomes a regular entry. Just walk up to one of the CM's there, verify it is going to be a regular entry at opening, then just kind of stand off to the side to allow the early entry people to get by, then when the park opens you are first in line.
