Can you ride a bus from Magic Kingdom to Epcot?

If riding the monorail isn't your thing, you can travel, albeit indirectly, from the Magic Kingdom to EPCOT via bus. Simply walk from the Magic Kingdom to any of the resort hotels around the Seven Seas Lagoon – the Contemporary (the closest), Polynesian Village, or Grand Floridian – and hop an EPCOT bus from there.



In 2026, there is no direct Disney bus that runs between the Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Instead, the primary "Disney-approved" way to travel between these two parks is via the Monorail. You take the monorail from the Magic Kingdom to the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC), and then transfer to the Epcot monorail line. Alternatively, you can take a ferry boat to the TTC and then catch the monorail. If you are determined to use a bus, you would have to take a bus from the Magic Kingdom to a resort (like Disney's BoardWalk or Yacht Club) and then walk or take a boat to Epcot's International Gateway entrance. For those looking for the fastest "point-to-point" vehicle service, the Minnie Van service (powered by Lyft) is available for a fee. Public "Lynx" buses also operate in the area but are rarely used by tourists due to the complexity of transfers and the significantly longer travel time (often over 80 minutes) compared to the 20-minute monorail journey.
