Best Time to find parking at Boardwalk

[FSU Girl]

I know parking might be difficult to find while I'm staying at the Boardwalk. I was wondering if anyone knows what time is best for us to arrive to find a spot. Since we are checking out of one Disney hotel into this one there isn't really a rush and I'd rather get there when I know I have my best chance at finding a spot. It'll be a Tuesday if that matters.

Before EPCOT opens or after IllumiNations has finished. It's amazing how the parking lot empties out when the park is closed.

definitely - I have had problems even before Epcot opens - but you can always find parking after illuminations has finished. (it finishes after the park is closed)

Hmm that's not what I wanted to hear lol. I was thinking more of 9 or 10am. Guess we'll just stalk someone for their spot.

I think things are getting better there. Maybe it is my imagination? We didn't move our car much but we didn't have any trouble finding parking last month. Our times coming in were approx Thurs 3pm, 930 pm. Oops, I guess that is it. We must have parked the car for the weekend after that.

You'll be fine. I stayed there last October (and many other times), it was pretty empty in the mornings, especially on a weekday. Afternoons/evenings and weekends are more crowded.

Thanks! That's good to hear.

When we stayed there in June 2015, we arrived around noon and found a spot right away. It was a pretty full lot, but we could see plenty of spaces that were really far away. We parked in the first space next to the tennis courts which was a nice spot. However, I was nervous about having trouble parking again, so we never moved our car again

Also I'd like to add that they were doing some kind of work on the parking lot and I had gotten emails regarding a parking advisory before we checked in.

We are staying there for the first time at the end of January. Is it usually hard to find a parking spot, or is it just difficult lately because of the construction currently going on or that will be going on?

We were there Dec. 18-27 of last year. We checked in around 11:30 a.m. on a Sunday and had no problem getting a spot. We drove our car about 3-4 times during our stay and always got a spot, actually some really close spots, when returning to the resort. I was so nervous to leave the resort, but luckily never had a problem with parking.
