Stressing over the timing of this...please advise

Okay, I need to know if this sounds reasonable:

Arrive at Wolfgang Puck Express (Marketplace) around 4pm.
Eat.
Catch boat over to West Side.
Be at theater in time for 6pm La Nouba show.

Forgot to add...this is the Saturday before Easter.

If your at wolfgangs puck by 4 you'll have no problem with that schedule. A quick meal I had there once only took us less than 30 minutes.

I would probably walk it instead of boat but that is my personal preference. i've quickly done bus to house of blues (across the walkway) in under 10 minutes before during a crowd but I also walk daily in nyc so I can easily get through a crowd without being an a**

Sweet! Thanks, Accident!


A follow-up question: We're going to Disney Springs by way of the Beach Club after being in Epcot for the first part of the day. Any clue what time we should be standing at the Beach Club bus stop waiting for a DS bus in order to be at WPE by 4pm? Is 3:00 early enough? I was thinking we'd head out of Epcot towards Beach Club about 2:30?

I've successfully taken disney transporation over the years allowing about an hour for travel and never been late and usually been early. It's not going to take you an hour to get from pucks to cirque unless your planning to window shop the whole way over there. You have plenty of wiggle room in this plan and I would probably try to be around the bus near 3 but even if 10-15 minutes later you'll be fine.

Special needs like ECV or wheelchair where you might have to wait for a couple buses to get on, I would just add a little extra time.

That sounds like a very doable schedule.

One note, it is a slightly more limited menu, but we love the Wolfgang Puck express location on the West Side, too. Officially it's called The Express at Wolfgang Puck Grand Cafe. It's a lovely little spot, and it is a very short walk to La Nouba. You have time to do either, just a thought in case you would like to position yourselves closer to the show.

So that is still opened? I was going to mention it on my first reply but I couldnt' find it on the website In this case, if the menu meets your family needs I would head to that one and then eat.

Thanks guys. Yeah, originally I had resigned myself to the idea of doing the "Express at WPGC" since it was so close to La Nouba. I figure by this time, my folks will be a bit worn out from walking around a lot of Epcot that morning, walking to the Beach Club, and whatever walking we have to do at DS. When I realized there was a boat to taxi us from Marketplace to West Side though, I rethought it all. I really, really like the menu at the Marketplace WPE better, and since we're on the QSDP, I would like to take advantage of their great offerings. Plus...bacon-wrapped meatloaf. I have to try that.

Thanks again! This was one of the last sticking points in my plan. I'm trying to iron out any and all kinks as I'm about a week away from making FastPasses! I can't believe it!!
