How to get to AK from Epcot?

[christinadei]

We are spending the day in Epcot and have ressies at the AK RFC for dinner. What's the easiest way to get there? Thanks!

I think there is a direct bus that takes you. If not hop the first resort bus that comes along then get on one to AK.

Yes, there is a direct bus !

I never knew that there were direct busses from park to park. It makes sense, for park hopping. How long do the busses run after park closing? We have 7:30 ressies at RRC and I think AK closes at 5:00 (maybe 6:00 this weekend), so will we still be able to get there and back on park busses?

You might have to take a taxi, especially on the way back. AK will have been closed for a while at that point.
Ask the price before getting in and be sure the meter is running.

I really don't want to take a taxi. What a pain. I guess I could drive. If we pay for parking at Epcot, can we park at AK for free? Maybe this is why there were not ressies available at RFC in DD, but there were in AK.

Yes, you are entitled to park at all 4 parks with one payment.
When you leave Epcot, just show the parking receipt at the AK parking lot.
Driving makes much better sense.

Thanks for the help. I was hoping there would be a simple answer, like taking a bus, but I guess I can live with driving

Agreed 100%. You can literally shave a 1/2 hour (at least) off your time by driving yourself instead of waiting for buses and bus travel time. The buses are great and convenient, but the process isn't fast.

Have fun and don't speed on those back roads! Osceola County and Orange County Sheriffs Depts. have been ticketing!
