Is this viable? I valet my car at the swan or dolphin (or self park) and walk over to epcot? which hotel would be the shorter walk?
From epcot, how would I be able to go to animal kingdom?
thanks
 
You can self park at the Dolphin, cheaper than valet. It is about a 10 minute walk to Epcot. I normally stay at the Dolphin both hotels are about the same distance to Epcot, you can even take the boat over but it is quicker to walk. You can catch the bus to the Animal Kingdom out front of either hotel or even in front of the Beach/Yacht club.
 
I'm not sure why you would want to do this, unless you have some other reason to go to either the Swan or Dolphin.
It is more expensive to self park ($15) or valet park ($20) there than it would be to park in the Epcot lot ($14). Plus once you pay to park at one park you are not charged again to park at any other park during the same day, just show your receipt.
You could then either drive your car to AK, or you could take the bus from Epcot to AK and return to Epcot by bus to retrieve your car.
The walk from the S/D is approx 3/4 mile to the International Gateway so it should take about 15-20 minutes
 
Have to agree....not sure why you don't just pay to park at Epcot and then drive to AK when needed..you pay to park just once a day. Just hold onto your parking receipt from the first park.
If there is some reason you need to park at an Epcot resort, I would go for valet parking at BC. It's closer to the International Gateway entrance into Epcot, and you can just head to AK from either Epcot or BC, returning to BC to get your car from AK.

But truly? I would pay to park at Epcot, then drive to AK.
