WL to Epcot

[diarmuid]

We have reservations for 5:30pm at Artist Pointe we would then like to go to Epcot for the Candlelight Procession. Are we crazy or do you think we can make it to Epcot by around 7:30? Would it be best to catch the boat and then the monorail?

Depending on how long you have to wait for your table and how long you linger over your meal you may be cutting it close. On the bright side there is a bus from WL to Epcot, it probably runs every 20min or so.

When you check-in at Artist Point (no e) be sure to tell them you are tight on time. Then, when your server comes, let them know too. That should keep things moving.

Just a note, the Wilderness Lodge to Epcot route shares with the Fort Wilderness Campground, so you should allow between 45 mins to an hour for transportation.

Or, you could take a cab. It isn't that much $$$ and you don't have to worry about waiting for a bus.

(said in the best possible way) - You are crazy to think you can get to Epcot by 7:30pm. Dinner at best will take 1 hour 30 minutes. Any less than that and you are just bolting your food and if you are going to do that, you might as well just eat fast food.

Disney transport will take at LEAST 25 minutes if you catch the bus right away and THEN you have to get into the park, through security and walk all way to the back of Epcot. Not going to happen.

Honestly, pick one or the other. Why not eat at Epcot if you want to do the Candlelight Procession? This way you are stress free. Rose & Crown or Le Cellier are nice choices OR you can eat at the Flying Fish which is also lovely and a LOT closer to where you need to be.

Just don't want you to be nuts and get to enjoy your food.

Or, like I said, take a cab. It can drop you at the closest Epcot resort (Beach Club?? not sure) and you could go in the International Gateway. I have never had to wait in line to go in the IG. Then it's just a short walk to the CP. Shouldn't cost more than $15 with tip.
