How to get from Animal Kingdom to Epcot?

My first choice would be to take a bus from AK to TTC and then hop on the monorail to Epcot. But I don't know whether buses run between AK and TTC. Do they?

Second choice - bus to AKL, transfer to bus to Epcot? Or bus to Beach Club/Yacht Club, walk to Epcot?

Last choice - bus to Downtown Disney, bus to Epcot. But I don't want to ride all the way to DTD.

This is our first trip without a car, so I am clueless.

Each place has a bus system to wherever you need to go. So yeah... there will be a place that says Epcot, and ya just wait in line for the bus to come. Pretty easy.

Yeah, I don't know how often the park to park buses run, but I remember waiting for 5 or 10 minutes maybe at the most?

I didn't know there was park to park buses. I will have to check that out because we have a couple of days that we are park hopping.

Yup... there is definitely park to park at all of them. And say you wanna hit a water park. If I remember correctly... hit DTD and it will take you to them if they are open.

Yep Mase is right...take the bus directly to Epcot. Read the bus signs it'll tell you which bus stop to go to...clearly marked.

That's great - I was under the impression there were no park-to-park buses. I guess I had that confused with no resort-to-resort buses (there are none of those, right?).

No resort to resort buses. Disney wants you to park hop they provide transportation to each park.

The DTD buses stop at the water parks. There are no buses that run between the parks and DTD though.

One thing to note that if you are hopping to or from MK, you'll need to go to the TTC.

It's not working at the moment but I've used the transportation wizard for resort to resort hopping.

Thanks for putting that up. I used that my first couple of trips. It is wonderful.

Just cause I could, I think I'd take the bus to HS, then hop on the boat to EPCOT. But that's just me, I like boats.. Smile

My Dad thought that last year for some reason, and it was a pretty humiliating bet that I won... LOL

Me, too, but we've already got two park-hops planned between DHS and Epcot, so I'll have plenty of time to enjoy the boat. Also, we're staying at Old Key West and can enjoy the Downtown Disney boat as well. For AK/Epcot day I just want to get from park to park as quickly as possible.
