Access to the boardwalk at 10:00pm

[mmouse50]

Wanting to stop by the boardwalk on our first night to get a corndog around 10 pm. The kiosk closes at 11 so it would be close but if i can get from the airport to the boardwalk in time will i be able to get through the gate and park in self park? I know i can get it on Epcot day but wanting to try it on arrival night.

There are no guarantees but if you explain why you want to enter so late, they might let you in at that hour. Sometimes they ask for an ID.

They tend to be more strict in the morning when some are trying to park at the Boardwalk to avoid the Epcot parking fee.

As Nabas says, it's possible, however I would have a Plan B. No guarantees that the guard will allow you to park.

Rideshare to Swan and walk to BW, no worries about being turned away by security.

Will you have already checked into your hotel? If not, you'd be dragging your stuff from the Swolfin to the Boardwalk, then getting to wherever you're staying. And that is assuming everything times out right.

Honestly I'd just wait until your Epcot day. Otherwise it sounds like too much stress for a corndog.

There are other things still going on at Boardwalk at 10PM - seems like security would be less restrictive with their free parking for folks wanting to spend an hour or so on BW. There's no parking advantage that time of night for guests trying to avoid fees. I'm sure people have done crazier things at 10PM than corn dogs! If Ample Hills was still there, I might head right there from the airport!!
