Need feedback on parking when returning to park in evening

[Ptarmigan6]

Hi all,

I'm looking for feedback on how WDW handles evening parking at the parks. I know cast members direct traffic and specific spots in the AM at each park. We're looking to return/change parks in the evening, and I'm curious as to which parks dismiss their parking attendants (the ones with the flags, not the gate folks!), and if so, how early you've noticed it. I know we were able to get some decent Epcot parking once after we told a cast member parking us that we left a spot way up in the front.

Any tips on parking for parks that are better for evening hours? We just got APs for our family, so the idea of park hopping is very new to us!

Thanks!

Can't swear I've ever checked the time but we usually park hop & it seems like they usually leave mid-late afternoon, maybe 3-5ish

You can generally pick your own spots in the afternoon.

If you won't return until after 6PM, you'll be on your own.
