How much time to....................

[adisneynut]

We are changing from the GF to AKL. We are also going to Epcot that day, we PS for 8:30 at the PSB. We thought we would arrange for bell services to pick up bags around 7:15 then catch the monorail over to the TTC and then change to the Epcot monorail. I know it will probably take about 30 minutes to make it from the front gate to Norway. Are we allowing enough time?

your assuming that Bell services will be right up for your bags...I have waited up to 20 minutes for them to arrive...I

I think I would arrange for luggage pick up at 7am....

because the monorail trip and switch at TTC could take longer then you suspect....just to play it on the safe side....

Hi adisneynut! We also have an 8:30 PS at PSB and we'll also be going from the GF. The CM told us that the first monorail does not run till 8:00am. If this is the case, we will be rushing to Norway from the Epcot front gate. I plan to check at the GF front desk about this and if the 8:00am time is true, we'll opt to drive instead.

I think you can just leave your bags in your room and they will transfer them for you. I don't think you have to be present.

We had to be present last year at the GF when we had our bags picked up. They ask you to wait in the room for them. Then they load them up and give you a ride around to the Main biulding. If this is wrong somebody set me straight..

The quickest route to Epcot from the GF is via bus. Check out Themeparks.com for their transportation figures.
