Epcot parking with Boardwalk reservations

[wareagle57]

I am planning a Beaches and Cream meal one evening while we also go to Epcot. We'll only be in the park a couple hours and the reservation is at 7:45. I'm thinking we won't be able to finish before 9:00 to get back into World Showcase. Will they allow me to park at Beach Club a few hours before my reservation? If not, how can we get back to our car? I don't want to do this, but the only solution I can think of is to park at DHS and take the skyliner all the way to Epcot and then walk back to DHS after our meal. If we DID park at Epcot, what would they do? Would there be a shuttle to take us to the parking lot? Would they let us walk back through even though the park is closed? Would we be forced to take an Uber to Epcot from BC?

Since you have no plans to return to the park following your meal, and you are driving, you should plan to park at Epcot to visit the park, then drive to BC for your reservation to avoid transportation headaches.

Park at EP, then drive to BC for your B&C reservation. There is no shuttle from BC to the EP parking lot. Otherwise, as you suggested, park at DHS, Skyliner to EP and then walk back to DHS if the Skyliner is no longer running.

You will have to park at Epcot then drive to Beach Club for Beaches and Cream. You will not be allowed in to beach club until close to the reservation time. Do not leave you car in the Epcot parking lot and walk to Beach Club as you wont be allowed back into Epcot once the park has closed. We saw one guy having a fit last week as they would not allow him to walk back through the park to get to his car. I would not depend on the skyline either. It goes down for weather and it’s hours vary. You don’t want to be stranded or end up having to take a Lyft
