Help!!!! First time monorail rider!

[aceburton1]

My family and I have reservations for the All-Star Movies Resort. However, we have reservations at O'hana Breakfast at 7:45 the morning that we will be visiting Epcot. We were really hoping to be able to ride the monorail while visiting the World this time. However, we have never done so and was hoping that we could get some advice on the best way to get to the Polynesian and then to Epcot. Thanks!

You would want to catch the bus to MK, and then ride the monorail to Poly. But on some mornings the monorail opens later. If it's a late opening day for the monorail, there should be a bus from MK to Poly in its place. You should be at the AS Movies bus stop at 6:30.

On normal days, the Resort Monorail opens at 7, so if you get a bus to MK quickly, you still might be waiting a few minutes for the monorail to open at MK.

After breakfast, you can walk to TTC and get the monorail to Epcot. If you'd just like a longer monorail ride, you can ride the Resort Monorail to TTC, but that might add 10-15 minutes to your travel time.

I forgot to mention that we will have a car, but are just wanting to experience the monorail. Is the above mentioned still your best recommendation? Thanks again!

If you have a car, you can drive to the TTC (MK parking lot) and walk to the Poly. Then walk back to the TTC and get on the monorail heading to EPCOT. If you don't have a car you can take a taxi/uber to Poly then walk to TTC after. I am not sure for reservations that early how it would work if you took a bus from All Star to MK. I don't know if the monorail from MK or the Boats from MK to the Poly run that early. I am sure someone else on here knows that answer.

As PP said, you could drive to TTC and walk to Poly. The monorail trip from TTC to Epcot is the best one, because the train gets up to max speed and circles thru FW before pulling into the Epcot station. What I said about Poly to Epcot stands.

You would need to take the Epcot Monorail back to TTC at the end of day to get your car.

You can't park at Epcot and ride the monorail to b'fst, because the Epcot Monorail opens later than your b'fst time.

Thank you! You all are the best. I would have been completely lost trying to get there without your help!
