Best Place To Park When Staying Off Site?

[KevinM]

We are splitting our Feb. trip between AKL and a house offsite (inlaws rented it for the month). I've never stayed offsite and always relied on WDW transportation to get to the parks and back.

We plan on park hopping at least 2 days (probably AK-Epcot; we never spend a full day there). Where is the best place to park? We have AP's so there is no concern about fees.

Thanks

if you have AP's and your own car, why not just drive to the parks? AK and epcot are only a little more than 5 minutes from each other.

I guess I was asking if there was a certain park where it is easier to get in and out, etc..

I just didn't want to spend alot of time walking through parking lots if there was a good place to park the car and leave it for the day. What about the TTC?

Am I making any sense? Or has the blizzard up here warped my brain?

Most people recommend parking where you plan to end the day. Makes sense to me.

Trams service the parking lots, so even if your parking spot is far away from the entrance, it won't be that long of a walk to or from the tram.

all of the lots are easy to negotiate. the TTC is perfect if you want to hop between epcot and the MK.

We just drive over to the other parks, its easy and doesn't take that long. Once we tried leaving the car at one park and hopping with Disney transport but we found driving just as fast.

I left my car in EPCOTs lot once, spent the morning at EPCOT, took the monoral to MK, and back to EPC to retrieve car after MK closed (late). Honestly, I do think it is easier to drive to each park when you hop.

If you're planning on doing an AK-Epcot day, the best plan is to drive to AK in the morning and then drive to Epcot when you finish.

Trying to leave your car at Epcot and get a bus to AK first thing in the morning will simply add time to your morning 'commute', bu relocating the car to Epcot in the afternoon is not a hassle. In fact, because so many people leave the parks early, if you get to Epcot after 3pm you will have a good chance of getting a parking spot up close where you won't need to use the parking lot tram.

I've done this a lot. Can you tell?
