Monorail or drive from MK to Epcot

Wow--you guys are awesome! So glad it was anonymous!

I'm with everyone else on this issue. I always recommend parking at the park in which you'll be ending your day. If you're ending at Epcot, like everyone else has noted, your car is right there, as that parking lot is right in front of the park. The monorail from Epcot to TTC early in the morning usually isn't busy; ask a Cast Member if you can ride in the cab. They can take up to four guests, so if you have kids, they'll love the ride (plus they usually give a "Monorail Pilot" license!).

I agree with everyone else...park at EPCOT!

And yes!! Ridingin the cab is awesome. So take Jim's advice and try to do that in the morning!! It's the best view!! It makes me want to be a monorail driver everytime!

Just realized I have to be at MK at 8:15 for Crystal Palace ADR. What time do I need to be at Epcot to catch monorail to get to MK in time? I'm thinking 7:30--can I get into Epcot parking lot that early??

Nope. Parking lot at Epcot doesn't open that early, I don't think. And even if it did, the monorail on the Epcot loop doesn't run until 8:00am, starting at TTC.

You'll have to go to MK parking and take the Resort monorail (Express runs at 8:00). My recommendation: park at TTC NO LATER than 7:45am, take the resort monorail to MK (third stop). There'll be an entrance for breakfast guests at the turnstiles at MK.

Another vote for parking at Epcot and taking the monorail to and from the Magic Kingdom.

They can't park at Epcot if they have an 8:15 ADR at Crystal Palace...
