Hi there, Kathy!
I'm so glad that you've stopped back by planDisney. I see that you're hoping to soak up every minute of the magic during your vacation by heading directly from one of Walt Disney World's theme parks to the airport. You're my kind of Mouseketeer! I've been known to board a plane wearing shoes still damp from
Tiana's Bayou Adventure and snacking on a Mickey-shaped treat, so I'm delighted to assist you with your question!
Happily, Kathy, Walt Disney World makes utilizing a rideshare service to and from the theme parks incredibly convenient. At
EPCOT, you'll see clear signage directing you to a rideshare pickup point as you exit the theme park's turnstiles. The rideshare loop is located behind the Bus Stop and near the HeiHei Parking Lot. The length of your walk will depend on where you are in the theme park, but I would allocate between 5 and 10 minutes if walking from the turnstiles in front of
Spaceship Earth.
For the most accurate timeframe, I would suggest using the 'Get Directions' feature in your My Disney Experience app. Although the rideshare loop won't populate on the map of EPCOT, you can use the location icon on the bottom menu of the app, navigate to the HeiHei Parking Lot using the touch screen, and then select 'Get Directions'. This feature can populate directions with an estimated travel time from either your current location or the location of your choice.
planDisney Pixie Dust: If you'll be traveling with bags, don't forget that EPCOT has
lockers in varying sizes available for rent near the front of the theme park.
I hope this information is helpful, Kathy, and that your vacation is filled with magical moments. As always, come see us again at
planDisney with any new questions that arise as you continue your
countdown. You've got a friend in me!
Thinking Happy Thoughts,
Lizzie
