Transportation between parks

Is there a Disney bus transport from Animal Kingdom to EPCOT?

[mechanic]

Yes there is. And if the ttc bus shows up first you can take that, then hop on monorail.

Sorry, but that would not be a very efficient route.
In fact, it would likely take between 2 and 3 times longer to get to
Epcot from DAK using that route over the direct bus route.

There is "direct" (some more "direct" some less) transportation between all the WDW theme parks.

Most routes are via Disney Buses.

Here are the "park-to-park" Disney Transportation direct connections:

>Note: The MK bus connections arrive and depart only at TTC.<

MK/TTC> Epcot = Monorail
MK/TTC> DHS = Bus
MK/TTC> AK= Bus

AK> DHS= Direct Bus
AK> Epcot= Direct Bus
AK> TTC/MK= Bus

DHS> TTC/MK= Bus
DHS> AK= Direct Bus
DHS> Epcot= Direct Bus (Epcot Front Gate) or Boat (Epcot Intl. Gateway)
......Boats ("Friendships") make 3 interim stops at the Epcot area resorts.)

Epcot > TTC/MK= Monorail
Epcot > AK= Direct Bus
Epcot> DHS= Direct Bus (Epcot Front Gate) or Boat (Epcot Intl. Gateway)
......Boats ("Friendships") make 3 interim stops at the Epcot area resorts.)

The buses have their destinations shown on them on illuminated signs.
The bus stops at the parks are also marked with signage.

As a rule-of-thumb, allow 40-60 minutes to get from the gates of one park to the gates of another park.

I did say that, yes there is a direct bus. If it was pulling away as I walked up, I would get on ttc bus and ride monorail. The monorail is an attraction in itself.

The monorail is a nice ride.

But, using it as a link to get from DAK to Epcot is not exactly the best choice of routes.

We did it last year. You know why it was WAY more efficient? Because the LINE for the bus from AK to Epcot was RIDICULOUSLY long. It was at LEAST 3 buses worth of people. We could have stood in that line, but instead, walked over to the TTC bus that was waiting for passengers to load before it took off. Total time from stepping on the TTC bus until we were getting off the monorail in Epcot was 21 minutes.

It's certainly OK to take that route, but it is just not efficient.
The bus ride from DAK to Epcot takes about 8-9 minutes on the road.

The trip between DAK and Epcot is about 5.5 miles.
The trip from DAK to TTC to Epcot is about 10.1 miles
(about 3-4 miles of that on the monorail.)


You can also take a bus from DAK to DHS, then walk or take a Friendship boat to Epcot's International Gateway.

You can also take a bus from DAK to any of the below resorts:
Swan
Dolphin
Yacht Club
Beach Club
Boardwalk
...and then walk or take a Friendship boat to Epcot's International Gateway.

Efficient or not, it's an option.
I'm sure the Op appreciates having the choice.

It's always easy to head back to the bus stop and take the direct route. Simple.
