It's great to see you here today at planDisney, Jessica! Thanks so much for coming to us with your question today.
Transportation is going to be such a big part of your Walt Disney World vacation, so it's a great idea to start thinking about how you're going to get where you need to go. With 43 square miles to cover, having a plan is always a good idea!
If you're staying off-property but want to start the day at the International Gateway entrance of
EPCOT, the best place to start is
Hollywood Studios. If you're driving, you can park in that lot and hop on the
Skyliner, take a
Friendship Boat, or walk along the waterway to get to EPCOT. If you don't have a car with you, you can also start this journey by getting dropped off by a rideshare. If time is of the essence for you, the Skyliner is probably going to be the quickest option! Take a gondola to the
Caribbean Beach station and transfer to the EPCOT line. Then it's just two more stops to your destination! You'll get dropped off right outside the International Gateway and you'll be able to start your day in World Showcase instead of at the front of the park.
Have a magical day, Jessica!
