Best way to get to EPCOT from MGM

I will be doing Disney Comando style in a few weeks and I am trying to maximize my time in the parks...that said I am planning to see Fantasmic at 6:30 at MGM on 11/24 and want to hop over to EPCOT to see Illuminations at 9. Can someone tell me the best/quickest way to do this. I will be driving my own car. Would you suggest parking at EPCOT that morning before heading to MGM?

Re: Best way to get to EPCOT from MGM

Well, the fastest way would be to park at MGM, and then just drive over to EPCOT. The boat from MGM to EPCOT is about 30 minutes.

One thing you could do is park at Boardwalk, walk or take the boat to MGM, then either walk or take the boat to EPCOT (walk, it takes about 15 minutes, and the boats are always full after Fantasmic!). Then, after Illuminations, walk over to the Boardwalk and head home.

Comando style, huh? Sounds tough! Park at Epcot in the AM, then after Fantasmic take the boat to the Yatch Club and walk to Epcot through the International Gateway. I think their is a walkway from MGM to Epcot, but I'm not sure.
