Transportation help needed!

[Cando86]

Hello!! We leave in just ten days and I am trying to hammer out some details. Our first day we'll be spending the morning at Epcot, heading to Boardwalk for an hour or so in the afternoon, then planning on going to GFlo to see the gingerbread house before heading to MK for MVMCP. My confusion comes in when it comes to getting from Epcot or Boardwalk to the GFlo. My original plan was to take the Epcot monorail to GFlo but I'm now a little unsure as I just read that that monorail takes you to the TTC. Any suggestions on the most efficient way of getting from either Boardwalk or Epcot to GFlo? Any help is appreciated !

You switch from the TTC to the resort monorail. It's easy.

Have a wonderful trip, sounds like u are atop everything!

Instead of walking all the way from BWI to the Epcot Monorail Station,waiting for the Monorail to TTC and then waitng for the Monorail to GF, I would just walk from BWI to DHS and catch a GF bus there.

You could catch a bus from one of the Boardwalk resorts to the MK and then catch the resort monorails. Walking from the Boardwalk area to the monorail in Epcot will take some time.

Or the GF boat.

If you do try to take the monorail from Epcot, you will need to go back through security to get to the front of the park. It's a hassle. I would either head to DHS to get a GF bus or take an MK bus from a Boardwalk hotel and then take the resort monorail to GF.

Agree.

The advantage of the walk to DHS/wait for a GF bus is that there is only one "wait time".

It is a fair distance though, so some people may not want to do/can't do the walk. There is the boat to DHS at the Boardwalk, but again, that's just more waiting.

What are you planning to do at the boardwalk?

As others have noted, your best bet using WDW transportation is walking to DHS and taking a GF bus or taking an MK bus from BWI and then boat or monorail to GF. Absolute easiest thing to do, however, is simply cab or uber from BWI to GF. If you want a cab, go to the front of BWI and ask valet to call you a cab. If you want an uber, simply book one on your phone.

I would do this. I wouldn't count on the epcot monorail working. It wasn't today, and a CM said they were having issues last weekend too. I think the walk from Boardwalk to the monorail station is just as long as it would take to walk to the bus loop at DHS and it's a really pleasant walk.

Also, if you take a bus from BWI to MK there's a couple hills you have to walk up (if you have a heavy stroller this makes a big difference!) and you'll have to wait for the resort monorail to make stops at Contemporary, TTC, Poly AND THEN GF.

What are you planning to do at the boardwalk?

Good question. There is nothing over there worth seeing and I spent a week at Boardwalk Villas 2 weeks ago.

Actually those are worth the walk. We skipped them this time.
