Parking - 1900 Park Fare then Epcot ?

[crmscotland]

My family & l are staying at PO Riverside, we have a car. We plan to have breakfast at 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian then spend rest of day at Epcot. Would it be best to park car at Grand Floridian then take car to Epcot or park at TTC & use monorail (going back to TTC to get car at end of day). Do you pay for parking at Grand Floridian? Thanks for any advice.

Drive to GF, eat, drive to Epcot.

Do you pay for parking at Grand Floridian?

Only if you valet park, self park is free with a limit of 3 hours. The security guard at the gate will direct you.

Adding that valet parking is $20+tip.

I'd just park at Epcot and monorail over.

If time is a consideration, I would drive to GF and then drive to Epcot.

If you just want to ride the monorail, I would park at TTC and then use the monorail. That way at the end of the night, you would only have to go back to TTC to get your car.

Like the pp suggested, depending on the time of your breakfast, you could park at Epcot and then monorail to TTC, then GF, for breakfast.

To eliminate driving, Id take the bus to the Magic Kingdom from POR. Then grab the Monorail to The Grand Floridian for breakfast. Then take the Monorail to the TTC and transfer to the Epcot Monorail. Enjoy the day and take bus back to POR. Sit back and let someone else do the driving and the Monorail ride is really nice.

I would park at the resort for the meal then drove to Epcot. Or just pay for valet. And we have paid for valet before; price seemed high when dropping off but at the end of the day when we just went back to the contemporary and got the car easily it was worth it.
