Getting from AK to Epcot.

[Sabrina18]

Please tell me how long (approx) it will take if we use the Disney transportation to get to from AK to Epcot. We have an 2:50ADR in Epcot and I want to get an idea what time to leave AK.
Thanks

I would leave at least an hour possibly more...

Once you leave the AK...

5 minutes to walk to the bus stop
15-20 minutes to wait for a bus if you just missed one.
10-15 minute trip to Epcot
a couple of minutes to get to the Epcot gate and you are already at about 40-45 minutes.

Now you need to allow time to get to your restaurant in Epcot. Maybe another 15 minutes or so.

WHERE in Epcot?

You can take a bus from AK to the Epcot front gate area.

But, depending on where the ressies are, you might be better-off taking a resort bus to Boardwalk or Beach Club and then walking (or taking the Friendship boat) to Epcot's International Gateway Entrance.

We have the ADR @ LeCellier at 2:50 but we may leave AK earlier because it's an EMH morning (we will be hopefully using) and we may finish what we want to see by noon. If I went the Boardwalk and walk over route about how long would it take (not to get to ADR time ) just to be in Epcot?
Thanks so much

Figures about 45-50 minutes based on Shafke's post.

FYI, the Boardwalk may be the third stop the bus makes from the AK. If the bus goes to the BC first, get off there, it will be closer.

As already noted, the Beach Club is the closest Epcot resort to the International Gateway. It's at most a 5 minute walk. In June the BC and YC had their own bus while the Boardwalk shared with the Swan and Dolphin. Even the furthest resorts (Swan/Dolphin) are only maybe 10-15 minutes tops to the IG of Epcot.
If you go to one of the Epcot resorts you will need to enter the resort and walk through the lobby to exit at the boardwalk/lake side. From the BC/YC you would then turn left to get to Epcot. From the BWI turn right. Swan/Dolphin you should walk towards the Yacht Club (straight ahead) and continue on from there.
