MGM/ Palio & Epcot/Flying Fish

[SpeechGuy]

This December we will be at WDW. Just trying to plan our park touring and dining options.

Wondering if anyone knows if the Palio at the Swan is near Disney MGM. Would we be able to make it to the Palio if we stayed at MGM until 8:30 PM?

Also, is the Flying Fish near Epcot? Is this a good option after touring Epcot. We thought about doing dinner at one of the WS restaurants in Epcot but decided to do lunch instead and go to the FF for dinner. Would we be able to make it in time if we stayed until 9:30 PM? Thanks!

Yes, the Swan is quite near MGM. You can either take a boat or walk. It's about a 15 minute walk for an average walker. The boat takes about the same, not counting the time you have to wait to board one.

Also, is the Flying Fish near Epcot? Is this a good option after touring Epcot. We thought about doing dinner at one of the WS restaurants in Epcot but decided to do lunch instead and go to the FF for dinner. Would we be able to make it in time if we stayed until 9:30 PM? Thanks!

Yes. The Flying Fish is on the Boardwalk - about a 10 minute easy walk from EPCOT's International Gateway entrance. That is between Great Britain andf France in the World Showcase section of the park.

Actually, either restaurant is easily accessed from both EPCOT and MGM. The Swan is just across the cancl from the Boardwalk.

HTH.

Best wishes -

Remember that Epcot will like as not be closed when you finish dinner, cutting you off from the Epcot parking lot, buses & monorail.
