How to get to Epcot without the bus...

[disneybree]

Hey everyone.
My first Disney World vacation starts in 15 days, so excited!!!

Here is my question. Is there a way to get to Epcot from All-Star Sports? Like, without using the free resort buses (we want to explore the monorails/boats/etc).Can we go take the bus to MK, take the ferry boat to the TTC from there and go take the Epcot monorail or is there a faster way?

Thanks everyone!!!!

That's the easiest way. Can also bus to any park, bus to boardwalk then boardwalk boat to Epcot.


FYI this will take a while, a bus is really the quickest way.

Yes, you can do that, but it's going to take forever. Plan on at least 90 minutes.

Personally, I would just take the bus.

If you have the time to kill, coming into Epcot on the monorail is a wonderful way to get your first view of Spaceship Earth. I suggest sitting on the right side if possible for a better view as the train passes over the parking lot.

In the morning, the ferryboat may not be accepting passengers at MK. In that case, you would probably have to take the local Resort Monorail from MK thru CR to the TTC. Or if you really don't care about time, you could take the small boat from MK to Poly (stopping at GF), and walk from Poly to TTC.

Note that if you arrive at Epcot on the boats from DHS or the Epcot resorts, you will be entering thru the back gate into World Showcase. That's fine, but you might want to come in thru the main gate to get the full effect on your first visit.

Thanks!!! We obviously want to enter Epcot at the main gate. Is the Epcot monorail from the TTC stop at the main gate? I heard it goes around Epcot and then stops somewhere

Yes, the Epcot monorail makes a loop inside Epcot and then stops outside the park at the main entrance to let guests off.

You can do the monorail from TTC thing but it's going to take a LONG time. Un;ess that's part of your plan for the day,like part of your entertainment,I wouldn't. A bus will take like 15 minutes- this plan will take close to two hours IMHO. I like to see Epcot this way, but usually try it on a day when I've got no park plans, just for fun.

No, shouldn't be more than 1 1/4 hours (barring delays):

• 0:20 - wait for bus
• 0:15 - bus to MK
• 0:10 - wait for Resort Monorail or ferryboat
• 0:10 - transit to TTC
• 0:05 - wait for Epcot Monorail
• 0:10 - monorail to Epcot
• ------
• 1:10

don't forget to add in the walking time between forms of transit- and expect delays,there are always delays.just saying.... if OP has never tried this, they might not appreciate the scope of doing it on a park day.
