Monorail what time does it start running

[runwad]

We are going to be at DW this weekend. On sat we are planning on being at MK for opening then hopping to Epcot. We are staying offsite and have our car and would like to park at Epcot and ride the monorail over to MK. What time does the monorail start running between the parks, anyone know? We're hoping to use this strategy if we can get there b/4 rope drop. Then on Sunday we'll be going to AK to park and want to take the bus to MGM and get there b/4 rope drop...do you know what time the buses start running in between the parks? TIA
