No. I think the responder though you were staying at Pop rather than SSR. You route would be the same from SSR:
ok thanks. I thought I'd missed something.
Staying at SSR, not PoP
Sorry. Skimmed instead of read.
We were visiting 2 new cities last week and I used Google Maps often to help me with determining walking times. That might be helpful until others share.
There was a thread with a video of the walk from the Speedway gas station to DHS, but I don't think I've seen any from the Swan to DHS. However, I know there's a walkway along the Swan side of the canal. I believe it goes up to Buena Vista Drive, crosses over the bridge there, then goes down to a fork where it goes to the walkway on the Boardwalk side of the canal and finally goes under the bridge to end at DHS. On Google Maps satellite view it's visible, and there even seems to be a fence or barrier between the walkway and the roadway when it crosses the bridge. Hopefully this link will work: https://www.google.com/maps/@28.3625354,-81.5553061,403m/data=!3m1!1e3.
After MK fireworks end, the lines to get on the monorail to TTC, whether resort or express, will be slammed, whether or not MK closes at the same time (parents trying to get small kids to bed, etc.). So if you do this, be sure to watch the MK fireworks from in front of the train station, as far away from the hub as you can get, so that y'all can be among the first to get in line for the monorail. Be aware that you won't be the only people trying to do this, and of course your sister will have issues with people pushing in front of her scooter and otherwise slowing her down. Given that you'll have maybe an hour and a half to make the journey from MK to Epcot, you might make it, but it will be tight. The crowds are just too much. An alternative would be to take the monorail to TTC before the fireworks begin and then watch the fireworks from the ferry dock, which has a great view of the castle and the music/narration is piped in. You'll miss the projections on the castle but will be able to board the Epcot monorail in advance of a lot of the crowd coming from MK.
Personally my thought is if you watch the fireworks from close to the train station you will easily make it to Epcot by 10PM.
Possibly. Does anyone know the ratio of monorails that they run on the resort line compared to the main TTC - MK line?
The resort monorail stops at CR (and will take time to discharge hordes of people and probably board some, too) before it goes to TTC. The express goes directly to TTC, although it might have to pause if there’s monorail traffic in the GF or Poly stations.
I just wanted to give an update to your question. There are new traffic lights being installed at the crosswalk on Epcot Center Drive.
