Best option to get from RPR to Epic in the morning? I’m thinking we will Uber.

Honestly, we used the bus from RP and were really impressed with how often they ran and how convenient it was. I never normally use the buses for anything but would use them again for Epic.

You`re right by the main park entrance although we did Uber home as we were over the other side of the park by Helios but the buses get excellent reviews.

I read that they only run every 30 minutes. Is that not the case? Also, does the bus run directly to Epic or stop at Citywalk first? I read it stops at Citywalk. I think there is a lot of misinformation floating around right now.

Does Uber drop off at the park entrance? Sorry for all the questions. I feel like a newbie.

As our bus pulled away there was another behind it, they do run very regularly, I would say more often than every 30 minutes.

The buses go direct to Epic, the bus from RP is shared with Sapphire and picks up at Sapphire first so you go on straight to Epic, it definitely doesn`t go to Citywalk first.

I didn`t notice where Uber drop off, but several folks have said they`ve used Uber so should hopefully chime in.

Honestly, I am averse to using buses but I was genuinely impressed with them and their frequency.

And ask away, there`s a lot to take in

Thank you so much for fielding my questions. There are probably many more to come!

We are contemplating a VIP tour at Epic that starts at 10am and I just don’t know if the bus or Uber would be better. We get in very late the evening prior so we will probably sleep in on our Epic day. Would 9am be the right time to leave RPR to get to our tour on time? I think I read there is a separate line to enter Celestial Park for people with tours booked but I want to have plenty of time for the ride over plus the ticket line and security.

The bus only takes about 15-20 minutes max to get to Epic from RP, however we are folks that like to get where we’re going early, I’d probably be at the bus stand for 8.45, just in case.

Yes, I believe there is a separate line for tours, you should be fine leaving by 9, but I’m a time worrier!!

If you're not trying to get there before opening id recommend just taking the bus. Just line up around 9 and you'll be fine.

Yeah, I don’t think we can make to opening that day. We probably won’t check into our room until 11pm the night before.

I am absolutely a time worrier as well! When money is on the line the worry intensifies. Lol. The tour is so expensive for our dates, I need to make sure we are there in plenty of time. 8:45 or maybe even 8:30 so I don’t have anxiety the whole way there.
