Whats the best way to get from WL to Epcot?
We will have a rental car as well.

Thanks

The EASIEST way is by direct bus, WL to Epcot. (may stop at GF or another resort along the way.)

The most scenic way is by to CR, then monorail to TTC, transfer & monorail to Epcot.

You'll be at WDW during the time we were there last year.(12/19 - 01/03).

I can tell that by the 23rd, the parks are beginning to get very, very crowded. I wouldn't consider doing anything but taking the bus to Epcot.

Last year, the bus service was excellent from the WL. In fact, much better than what we experienced from OKW this past June. Just guessing, but I'm betting that they increase the number of busses and runs due to the crowds.

Whatever the reason, we never waited more than 5 minutes for a bus to anywhere. Just fighting the traffic and parking your own car would more than eat up the time you may have to wait for a bus. The return trip would have the same problems, especially if you stayed until close to closing time at Epcot. The crowds waiting to get on trams made me really glad that we took the bus!

The way we went this week was bus to TTC and then monorail to Epcot; simply because the TTC bus was first. Took the bus back to WL with longish waits each time

You can either take the direct bus to Epcot (it will stop at Fort Wilderness which is on the way...) total trip time 15 mins plus wait time for bus.

You can also take the bus to the TTC, and then take the Monorail. Total trip time 15 minutes, plus wait time for bus and monorail.

Same here! During our January trip, we waited 20 minutes for a bus to Epcot! We finally gave up and took the next bus to the TTC! For some reason, the buses to Epcot from the WL are few and far between, at least when we were there anyway.

*LOL* I wonder if it's a "seasonal thing"!! When we were there (9-20-27), the Epcot buses were coming right & left! The day we actually went to Epcot, our bus came after about a 3 minute wait. While we were still bording, *another* Epcot bus came right behind us!

Didn't take the bus back as we took monorail to MK. (DD's request!)
