Boardwalk - Epcot Question

[mrincredible76]

I have a breakfast reservation at Trattoria al Forno on our Epcot Day. If we drive to the Boardwalk for our dining reservation, can we leave our car in the Boardwalk parking lot for the remainder of the day and walk to the back entrance of Epcot?

resort parking is for the time you are at the resort not for time you are at the theme park. If you want to park at the resort all day you can valet your car.

Due to limited parking availability at Disney's BoardWalk Inn, we highly recommend that all Disney Resort hotel Guests take advantage of our complimentary transportation options. Be advised that self-parking may not be available for Guests arriving in their own vehicles—valet parking may be the only option. Guests visiting Epcot are encouraged to utilize the Epcot Guest Parking Lot.

You can pay the $25 + tip to valet your car, but it's not fair to resort guests to use the free hotel lot as theme park parking.

Good to know. Thank you.

When we stayed there in November they had a couple of CMs checking people who drove into the self park lot.

another option is to check with the concierge at your resort. If you have pre-park opening reservations they can arrange transportation for you so no need to drive.

If you don't want to valet park your car, you could park at DHS and either walk or take the boat to BWI, then walk to EP, enjoy the park and then go back to the DHS parking lot when you are done at EP.
