What is the fastest way to get from Epcot to Disney Springs?

The only way to get to Disney Springs from any theme park is to take a bus from a Disney Resort. So, the most convenient and fastest transportation option would be to exit Epcot between France and the United Kingdom, walk to Disney's Boardwalk Inn or take a ferry.



In 2026, the fastest way to travel from Epcot to Disney Springs is by using a rideshare service (Uber/Lyft) or a taxi, which typically takes only 6 to 10 minutes and costs roughly $10–$15. Because there is no direct Disney bus service between the theme parks and Disney Springs (to prevent people from using the Springs as a free parking lot), the "official" free way is significantly slower. To use Disney transport, you must first take a bus or the monorail from Epcot to a nearby resort—such as Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa—and then either walk or take a second bus/boat to Disney Springs. This multi-step process can easily take 45 to 60 minutes. For a "pro-tip" balance of speed and cost, you can take the short walk from Epcot's International Gateway to the Disney's Beach Club Resort and catch a Disney Springs bus from there, though a direct $10 Uber remains the undisputed champion for speed.
