Wilderness Lodge to Epcot boat question

[kimbac3]

I know..you can't get there from here....and I know there is no boat that goes to Epcot from WL....but I thought I read I could take a boat to the Contemporary Resort and then grab the monorail to EPCOT. Would the direct buses be faster?
Here's the deal...We are parking at Epcot and taking the monorail to MK. Then we are having lunch at Whispering Canyon. After we plan to head back to Epcot for the rest of the day. I know we have to take the boat from the MK to Wilderness Lodge. My question is the fastest/best way back to Epcot.
Anyone know if I'm doing this right? It's our first trip so we really don't know the lay of the land.
Thanks,
Kimba

OK, yes Wilderness Lodge has smaller Blue Flag Boats that run between Ft. Wilderness Campground-CR-Wilderness Lodge. (note Besure to take the boat going to CR and not the boat going to Ft. Wilderness Campground there are several boats running simultaneously one traveling clockwise the other counter-clockwise) After riding the small boat to the CR you would catch the resort monorail to TTC then transfer to the EPCOT Monorail.

The direct bus from Wilderness Lodge to EPCOT even with a stop at either the Grand Floridian or Ft. Wilderness Campground would be the fastest way back to EPCOT.

Also the direct bus from EPCOT to Wilderness Lodge would be faster then the monorail if time is critical. But riding the Monorail is allways fun.

Remember the EPCOT Monorail will take you to TTC were you have to transfer to the Magic Kingdom Monorail.

Once you arrive at The Magic Kingdom you would catch the Green Flag Boat to the Wilderness Lodge but depending on time of day (before Lunch) this boat will go to Ft. Wilderness Campground before Wilderness Lodge.

I would walk over to the Magic Kingdom's bus stop and ride the direct bus to Wilderness Lodge only a three minute ride.

I'll have to make a note of that. We may try to take the boat one way..I think it will probably be the only time we do. But if we are running late I will remember to take the buses. We won't be in a hurry to get back to Epcot so we can take our time.
Thanks for getting back to me so quick.

Is there no longer a bus from WL to the TTC?

When the MK is open, the WL bus goes straight to MK. After MK closes the bus goes to the TTC until 2(?)AM.

While it is faster to take the Epcot bus direct from WL, I have also jumped on an MGM or Epcot bus that stops at the Poly first, get off, go upstairs and get on the monorail there to the TTC and then transfer to the Epcot monorail.
