Transportation from MK to Epcot

[tellemarie]

So I'm still coming down off my high- I just got reservations for Le Cellier in only 2 weeks!! However I have reservations for the same day only a few hours earlier at CRT that I am unwilling to give up. Does anyone have experience with getting from one park to the other in such a short amount of time? Any advice on this? Or even route ideas?

Thank you!

Are you driving or taking Disney transportation?

If the latter, you'll need to take the monorail or ferry boat from the MK to the TTC, then switch to the Epcot monorail there. That will drop you outside of the front gate and you'll have to walk through Future World back to World Showcase. An alternative would be to catch the bus to the Beach Club and then walk into Epcot through the International Gateway, which is fairly close to Canada.

Assume that either route could take you as little as maybe 40 minutes or as long as an hour plus depending on how good your timing is and how fast you walk.

Another option is to walk to the Contemporary and take a bus direct to Epcot. I think they have a bus to EC.

Being that the walk from the BC bus stop or the monorail station at EPCOT are almost the same, I would opt to take the monorail from MK to TTC and transfer to the EPCOT monorail. I believe the monorail will be more reliable than the buses.
I think if you allow approx 60 to 90 minutes from CRT to Le Cellier you should be fine.
10 minutes to walk to Resort monorail station from CRT (use the Resort monorail as it will only make one stop before TTC, whereas the other will make 2)
10 minute wait for monorail est
10 minute ride to TTC
5 minute walk to EPCOT monorail platform
10 minute wait for monorail est
20 minute monorail ride to EPCOT
15 minute walk to Le Cellier

I don't think so. They would just hop on the resort monorail line and go to the TTC and then take the Epcot line.

Not sure how much time you have inbetween the two ADRs...If it's less than an hour, it may not be doable. You have a few options....monorail to TTC, change to the Epcot line and then walk to LeCellier...best case scenario for time would be about an hour...maybe a wee bit less.
Or you can take a bus to BW/S/D or YC/BC and then walk over to World Showcase via the International Gateway..could be about the same timing.
Here's how the times might breakdown..
walk to monorail platform at MK...3-5 mins
wait time for monorail to come...between 0-15 mins
ride to TTC..about 10 mins
possible wait for Epcot monorail...0-15 mins
ride to Epcot....10 or so mins
walk to LeCellier..about 15+ mins, depending on pace and crowds

Or....
walk to buses...5 mins
wait for bus...0-15 mins
ride to resort...15 mins
walk over to International Gateway...8-15 mins, depending on which resort
walk to LeCellier...10 mins from Intl Gateway

And of course, when you're in a hurry, that's when all that stuff happens to slow you down. At least that's what happens to me.

You could just take a taxi from the TTC. I believe there is a taxi stand there. or walk to CR and take a taxi from there.

Count me as a vote for the fastest way from MK to LeCellier being to catch the Beach Club bus from MK and then walk into EPCOT via the International Gateway.

We did this FREQUENTLY when we just wanted to go back for Illuminations. I was not going to walk back thru from the front area so we just bussed it to BC & walked in the back way to watch them near Japan. I think one time they dropped off first at Boardwalk area so we walked from there as we figured the timing to wait for the additional bus stops would be saved in our walking.

How close are the two ADR's?

And are you really wanting to eat two TS meals within 2 hours of each other?

You may want to rethink this.

Then Contemporary or any of the other Monorail Resorts don't have a bus to Epcot. From there you would take the Resort Monorail to the TTC and switch to the Epcot Monorail.
