Visiting Disney resorts without staying on property

[bbmassey]

We are planning to visit Orlando next weekend for a few days. We would like to scout out a few places for our next visit. Any insight/help on the best way to visit multiple resorts without reservations at a Disney property? Thanks in advance!

The monorail resorts are easy - just park at the TTC and ride the monorail to each, and the boat to WL. For the Epcot resorts, assuming you're not visiting the park, park at one, tell them you're visiting to check it out, maybe grab a bite. The other resorts will let you park to check them out, as well.

The resorts WANT folks to do this. They want you to visit, fall in love and decide to stay there. As long as it's not incredibly busy you can park and visit. If you do find a parking lot too full to let you in there should be another nearby resort that you can park in. Like if the CR lot is closed, try TTC instead, or Poly. If BWI is closed, you can always park at HS and then take the boat to tour the Epcot resorts.
