QUESTION: Epcot to MK via monorail before MK rope drop@9am?

[Cackyschmackers]

We are staying off property, closest to Epcot. Can we/would it make sense for us to drive and park at Epcot, take the monorail to MK to make it there before RD at 9am? I ask bc our plan for that day is to visit Epcot midday after touring MK first, then going back to our resort from Epcot late afternoon. Figured it would make sense w/our car parked at Epcot. We do not have a lot of time (only 3 days) and are trying to make every day count. Many thanks!!

Sounds good. Get to the Epcot monorail by 8:00-8:15-ish.

There will be transfer to the MK Express monorail when you get to TTC.

Thanks; I wasn't sure which way the monorail would be running an hour before Epcot opens; wasn't sure what time it starts leaving FROM Epcot to MK.

The first Epcot Monorail of the day starts loading at TTC at 8:00 AM so look for it at Epcot around 8:15.

If Epcot is having AM EMH it will start loading at TTC at 7:30.

You will be fine-offsite Guests use this "route" to MK all the time.

The trains run on a closed-loop of track, so that in order for one to come into the Epcot station, one has to leave to go back to TTC.
Since the trains make several trips from TTC TO Epcot in the early mornings, they must make several trips BACK as well.

This is great info; THANK YOU! Do you know when they begin posting EMH for early Oct?

As has been discussed, it looks like an oversight that they have not yet posted the first three days of Oct. EMH.

The rest of Oct. EMH (and hours) have been posted for several weeks, now.
