Logistics question

[la79al]

We are staying at Pop, using Disney transportation and we will not have park hoppers. I know DH wants to eat at San Angel Inn. I know the kids would love to eat at Teppan Edo. We are however, only doing one Epcot day. Our arrival day, we are just doing a waterpark and I made ADRs for Ohana (we all like). I'm wondering whether it would be just as easy to go to Epcot and do Teppan Edo that day. The question is, would Teppan Edo be much harder to get to than Ohana? Thanks.

To get to Teppan Edo from Pop Century: Take the bus to Epcot and walk to Teppan Edo. It's a long walk. You'll have to go all the way through Future World and almost halfway around the World Showcase. There is a boat you can take around the WS lagoon that will drop you at Morocco (use the dock nearest Canada) but that will likely take longer. Do that only if you don't want to be on your feet.

To get to Ohana from Pop Century: Take the bus to MK. From there you have two options. For both, you have to walk all the way across the plaza in front of the MK. One option is to board the resort monorail, which will stop at Contemporary and TTC before it stops at the Polynesian. The other is to take the boat launch, which will go to GF first before it goes to Polynesian. To return to Pop retrace this back to MK OR catch a bus to DTD at the Polynesian and switch to the Pop bus there.

Ohana would be easier to get to from Pop...just take the bus to MK, then take boat or monorail to Poly. From the monorail it is really easy to get to Ohana, not sure about the boat.
To get to Teppan Edo it's a bus to Epcot and a walk to Japan or take the boat across the lake and walk from there. Really as far as what is easier to get to, probably Ohana by a small fraction.
I would suggest talking to your DH and kids about what they want to do. Another option would be to do one for lunch and one for dinner on your Epcot day. We do 2 TS on Epcot days because there's so much great food there! We do 2 CS on our DHS day to compensate. You could book lunch for about noon and then book a semi-late dinner, like maybe 7pm. If needed have a snack between the 2...and you will be done with dinner in time for Illuminations.
We did Teppan Edo for lunch and Chefs de France for dinner on our last Epcot day. Both were awesome! At Teppan Edo try the ginger chocolate cake, it is fab-u-lous!
