Transportation to Epcot from Animal Kingdom

[bugbugmom]

What is the best way to get from Animal Kingdom to Epcot? We are planning an early dinner @ Marrekesh after Animal Kingdom. Also, if you take the monorail from TTC to Epcot. What entrance may you disembark? I'm hoping the we can disembark @ World Showcase to avoid walking thru Future World. TIA

Just a thought. You could take a bus to either Boardwalk or Yacht/Beach CLub and then walk or take the boat to the International Gateway/World Showcase entrance to Epcot. That would save you from having to walk through Future World to get to World Showcase.

There is no direct bus from AK to Epcot. You have several option:
-Take bus to AKL and then bus from AKL to Epcot
-Take bus to Y&BC/BW and walk to EPCOT thorugh the International Gateway (this is the only way to avoid going through front gate (future World)
-Take the bus for Poly, GF, or Contemp and then take the monorail to Epcot. The monorail only stops at the main gate.

There used to be a bus from AK that stopped at MGM and then went on to Epcot. I remember taking that bus in 2000. Has that bus been discontinued?

I am 99.99% sure there is a direct bus from AK to Epcot. I do, however, agree that your best option would be a bus to BW/YC/BC and just walk in through the back entrance.

There most definitely a bus between Epcot and AK. It does not share with MGM. (That is why there are park hopper passes. So you can hop between parks).

As others have said, your best option is take a bus from AK to BC (The same bus goes to YC BC and BWI). From the BC it is a short walk to the IG.

Now leaving Epcot (to avoid going through FW), if MGM is still open, you can take the boat to MGM and get a bus to your resort there. There are other options, but if MGM is closed your best bet is to walk through FW and take the bus there.
