Free Parking ALL free?

This is what I don't understand. If you are not allowed to park at any of the resorts and then make your way to the parks, why can you park, for free, at the overflow lot at the Boardwalk, and then go to F+W at Epcot? Do people not avail themselves of the other attractions at Epcot besides F+W? Do you not think that some people who take advantage of this not care about F+W, but just use this as a way to park for free and then go to Epcot? Doesn't make sense to me.

I know you are not allowed to park at the CR, eat at any of their restaurants, and then walk or Monorail to the MK. The same for the Poly and the GF. You cannot self park in their lots all day and then go to the MK. What makes the Boardwalk with respect to F+W any different?

Because many people wouldn't be bothered with doing that at the BW overflow lot, so it's not usually an issue space-wise. Yes, there are people who park there to get free Epcot parking. But it's not taking away a limited resort parking lot spot. That lot is also referred to by some as cast member parking and I have often seen CMs walking to it at the shift change.

Is this really true? If I valet at CR for breakfast ADR, I can use valet at Poly for dinner same day and not pay valet again? Do they provide a ticket that shows you have valet access all day? Ever run into issues for this? Thanks!

Yes it is true, why would I have posted that if it was not.

And no I have never run into any issues. As others said just keep your receipt.
