Day Trip to Epcot - Parking Question

[Elmo007]

I am planning a 1 day trip to Epcot. I plan to arrive after 11am and have dinner at the Flying Fish.

Can I park in the morning at the Boardwalk hotel and enter the park through the gateway? Can I purchase my day tickets at the Gateway?

If I cant park at the Boardwalk, what is the best way to get back to my car in the evening? Or do I have to leave EPCOT mid day and more my car?

BTW - what is the cost to park at EP or Boardwalk or Boardwalk valet. This is my first trip there for a short time where I ma not staying on Property.

Thanks

Not in the resort parking lot as that is reserved for those with business, dining reservations or guests of the Boardwalk. But you could most likely use the valet parking or you can park at the overflow lot across the street from the Boardwalk next to the Hess station.

Valet is still $12, I think, and park parking is $14, I think. (if not those, very close).

Yes, you can buy tickets @ International Gateway.

Do you remember if the overflow lot has a security booth where you neeed to show a hotel Pass? I cant recall but I know I have parked there before when I was on property

You should be able to park across the street, behind the Hess Station with no problem. Or just pay to valet park at BW.
There are those who say they just park in the resort parking lot but that really isn't fair to those who are paying to stay there. They really should get the best parking spots there.

I agree that the best thing to do might be to pay for valet parking. Then they take and return your car for you and since you are having dinner at the flying fish it would be easier.

I also agree that you could say you are staying there but that is not fair to the guests who are...

Best bet I agree is to park across the street behind the Hess and walk across the street - if you don't mind the walk.

Anyway you do it - you can buy your tickets at the Gateway and have a great time!!!
