Hello,

If we want to go to MK for the day, but EC at night, should we drive over to Epcot, park there and take the monorail over to MK and then back to EC? EC is closer to WBC than MK, right? Any other suggestions would be helpful, haven't been to Disney since 2008. Thank you :)
 
That is probably the best thing to do, if you're going to finish your day at Epcot you might as well park there in the morning.
Yes Epcot is closer to WBC than the MK
 
You can also drive and park at the TTC, head to MK, and then drive to Epcot when you're done at MK. You only have to pay for parking once (I don't know if Wyndham includes parking passes like the Disney resorts).

Otherwise, yes, I'd probably park at Epcot, take the monorail to MK, and then monorail back. You'll still end up transferring at the TTC, so I don't know if you'd save a lot of time by parking at Epcot first.

Wyndham -> Epcot parking lot -> walk/tram to front -> Monorail to TTC -> Monorail/Ferry to MK

Wyndham -> TTC parking lot -> walk/tram to front -> Monorail/Ferry to MK
 

The parking lots aren't that much further... maybe 5min tops drive time. (compared to the 20min you could spend on the monorail between EPCOT and the TTC).

Personally, I'd consider parking at the TTC in the Morning and then hopping in the car and driving to EPCOT when you are ready to park hop.

Alternatively you could park at the TTC, Monorail to the MK, then Monorail from the MK to EPCOT that evening, Followed by another Monorail back to the TTC when you leave EPCOT.

OR do the park at EPCOT, Monorail to the MK in the morning, and then Monorail back to EPCOT when you hop.


Ultimately, I'd say there isn't really one easy one-size-fits-all "Best" option. I personally prefer to drive when I hop. It's often quicker, and my car is always at the park I'm at so I don't have to worry about extended transportation time in the morning or when I'm ready to go at the end of the day. I can also use my car to store items so I don't have to carry them all day thru both parks.

When I have a stroller however, The equation and considerations can change dramatically. I've personally found that the EPCOT parking lot size and design makes it much easier to walk from my car to the front of the park most of the time. No having to worry about emptying the stroller and collapsing it to fit it on a parking lot tram. The Monorail also allows me to ride with the stroller opened, so all the park supplies/toys/kid/etc can ride in the stroller in the monorail, again, without needing to empty or collapse it to fit it back in the car or on a bus or parking lot tram.

The monorails can also take longer to go between the parks..... and can be subject to breakdowns or delays.... so it's a game of weighing the pros and cons and figuring out what level of risk and/or time/effort is worth it for you.
