Parking for the Beach Club's Character Breakfast?

[comstocky]

I am staying at the shades of Green and I was hoping to go to the Beach Club's character breakfast before spending the day at EPCOT. We will be renting a car so we can drive to the Beach Club for our priority seating but I was hoping to have to not move the car before going to the park. As far as I know, our PS only gets us a 3 hour parking pass, so I would have to move the car before continuing on our day. Is there anywhere that I can park that would let me leave my car for the whole day and allow me access to both the breakfast and the park? Or, if anyone has any other suggestions about how to handle this I would be open to them as well. Thanks.

Since you are eating at an Epcot resort, you are close to the main entrance of Epcot. After Breakfast, drive to the Epcot parking lot -- you have free parking because you are staying at a WDW resort.

If you want to leave your car at BC, then valet park. It's $6 for the day (plus gratuity) and you can leave your car there all day.

Or just make the short drive from BC to Epcot. I've done this several times and managed to get a great parking space in the Epcot lot ... 'cept for that time I ended up at the far end of the row and could have walked back to my resort!

Yes, the valet idea should work. However, I have no idea if they ask you when you drop your car off if you are a BC guest or what. I just self parked when we stayed there.

They usually don't ask if you are a guest at BC ... I've valet parked there while staying at WL without any problems.

If you paid to valet park at another deluxe resort during that day, just show them your receipt or tag and you can valet park at BC at no charge.

The Beach Club parking lot is not usually very crowded. We have been to Cape May for breakfast a couple of times in the busy summer months and just been waved through the parking booth (no 3 hour pass). We have been to Beaches and Cream in the evening and were just waved through also. You should have no problem leaving the car there all day (yes, I know, it's not what you're SUPPOSED to do), but the parking situation does not seem to be as bad as it is for the MK resorts.
