how early does the monorail start running to EPCOT?

We're staying at the Poly and have an 8:00am breakfast in Norway at Epcot. I'd have to leave the Poly/TTC around 7:15 to make it there on time. Just making sure the monorail starts running that early...TIA for your help

At least by 7 I would think...perhaps before that. There is no other way to Epcot from the Polynesian, GF, an CR...so they have to start early enough to get guests there for early ADRs.

I know the monorails always started by 7:00 am. Not sure if anything has changed, you may want to contact guest services to be sure!

Monorail Operation Times:

EPCOT - 0730 to 1.5 hours after the MK closes

Resort - 0700 to 2 hours after the MK closes (TTC>Poly>GF>MK>CR>TTC)

Express - 0830 to 1 hour after the MK closes (TTC>MK>TTC)

That's kinda what I thought. I would imagine that if you left the Polynesian and got to the TTC by 7:20, you should be able to get on the first run to Epcot, then fly through Epcot to your breakfast. But, it may be cutting it close. I would be tempted to take a cab over to BW or BC and then just enter through the International Gateway...empties right into WS.

hmmm, sounds a little risky to use the monorail if it doesn't start running until 7:30. How long does it take for the monorail from the TTC to get to Epcot? Then how far is the monorail station from the World Showcase? I'll have my DD in a stroller so we can travel quickly once we're on foot, but if it's close, I may have to look into taking one of the character breakfast buses right? I'm not sure about taking a taxi, but I guess I can always use that as a back up plan. Thanks for the info...

I would say the actual ride from the TTC - Epcot takes about 10 minutes or a bit more, because when you enter Epcot the Monorail goes all around before arriving at the station, once you exit it's huge ramp to walk down and you would enter in Future World and you would walk all the way to World Showcase.
