What would be the best way to get to Epcot from AK and MGM? Get on the AKL bus, go back to the AKL and get on the bus to those 2 places? Magic is easy, take the monorail :rotfl:
 
There are buses to the parks from other parks. You exit the park, go to the bus area and lookd for the bus stop for the park you want to go to.
You can actually walk to Epcot from MGM, it takes about 20 minutes or so. You can also take a boat from MGM to Epcot. It stops at the Swan/Dolphin and then the Boardwalk then YC/BC and then onto Epcot.
To get to Epcot from the AK you can take the bus right to Epcot. I think that you can also get a bus to the TTC and take the monorail from there if you want.
 
I thought there were buses but werent 100% sure. Do you honestly think I wanna an walk additional 20 mins when I can sit down and rest my achey feet for a couple mins, lol :rotfl: . The boat idea sounds good. Maybe we can take it to the boardwalk, check out the resort and then either walk or take the boat over to YC/BC (which would be faster?), then stop by beaches and cream and grab a kitchen sink (never had one b4 and wanna try it), check out the resorts in that area cuz we never been to any of them before and then walk over to Epcot from there or take the boat. From the YC/BC which is faster? Boat or walking?

If you take the boat or walk from MGM to Epcot, you'll enter through the International Gateway. It takes me 15-20 minutes to walk from MGM to the Swan, so I'd add another 10 minutes to walk all the way to Epcot. You can also take a bus from MGM to Epcot, and it will drop you off in the front.

From the YC/BC, it will almost always be faster to walk to Epcot than to take the boat.
 

Unless there's a boat at the Boardwalk dock that's ready to depart AND is heading for the Yacht/Beach Club dock, it'd be WAY faster to walk. Same for Beaches & Cream to Epcot. Each walk is about five minutes. I think it takes that long just to board and move away from the dock.
 
You will always beat the Friendship boats by walking unless one is just about the depart when you get there. You can walk from any of the Epcot resorts to another in just a few minutes. It would take far more time on the boat due to the loading and unloading of passengers. Also the boats are pretty slow. Although after a long day of walking they are a relaxing ride.
