Typhoon Lagoon Afternoon Buses

[BLLB]

This trip we are staying at the Yacht Club, is there a bus from EPCOT back to the resort? It's so close but not without cutting through the park.

Yes. When we were dropped off at Epcot, the very next bus stop, to the left, was for the Epcot resorts (BW, BC, YC, Swan and Dolphin.

How do you get onto the Epcot monorail without going through bag check?

I know you can get off the monorail and board the bus without going through bag check at Epcot, but I was not aware there was a way to go from the buses to the monorail without going through bag check.

Is there an alternative route to get to the monorail to avoid this?
