getting from WL to EPCOT

[karsen11]

would it be better to take the bus from WL to EPCOT or should we take the boat to MK and grab the monorail?

It depends on what you are trying to do. If you want to take a slow scenic route, then boat, monorail, monorail. If you want to get there quickly, bus.

It will take much longer to go by boat and monorail although it might be more fun

FYI: This will require going through security screen twice. Once after getting off the boat at the MK and then again to enter Epcot.

Does taking a boat to the Contemporary, monorail to TTC, then monorail to Epcot save from security check twice? Certainly still longer than a bus.

No, you’d be screened before getting on the monorail at CR.

Oh my, thank you for clarifying. Would there be any security doing this route in reverse from Epcot to WL via monorail to TTC, then Contemporary, then boat? (Just get tired of those busses sometimes!)

I thought the Epcot monorail drop off was passed the security check for Epcot. You should only have to be checked once.

Epcot Monorail EXIT is outside of the security bubble, the entrance is inside of the security bubble.

I think if you don't go at park opening hours with lots of people using the monorail the security at the resort monorail won't be so bad. We usually had no wait at the resort monorail security and the ride with boat - monorail is so nice. We see the Disney transportation as a part of Disney.

Once you clear security to get into Epcot, there would be no additional security screening returning to WL via that route.

Bus will be faster, but we gave up on that as well as it stops at Ft. W. We now uber or lyft from WL to all parls except AK.

X2 on what @erionm said.

You’ll be screened at the monorail entrance at CR and again at Epcot.

Doing the trip in reverse, you will not be screened at all.

Did you mean MK? Why would you uber to MK from WL when you can take the boat (unless there is fog)?
