EPCOT and International Gateway

[TH1]

By way of background, the past three times we have visited Epcot, we spent so much time in Epcot itself that we managed a quick hike round the World Showcase. This time, I aim to spend a full day there.
Now, someone said that you can valet park at, I think, the Boardwalk, and then enter the World Showcase from there. So, my plan of action is to spend a day at Epcot itself and then spend another day at the World Showcase but (and this, Baldrick, is my cunning plan!) use valet parking at The Boardwalk in time for the opening of the World Showcase yet still have a fairly leisurely start to the day (i.e. get there by 10.30 a.m..
Comments please!!!!

That works =)

There is a boat that leaves the boardwalk every 20 minutes or so for Epcot.

It goes from MGM -> Swan/Dolphin -> Yaught Beach Club -> Epcot and then back again.

Love it =)

The boardwalk is only 5-10 min walk to Epcot.

And yes you can valet park for the day...which will make leaving the park easier if you stay for Illuminations.

Have fun.

Any ideas how much the Valet parking costs??

[razzy]

Oh I like the sound of that - what a great idea. We have been to Boardwalk a few times and seen the path leading to Epcot.

I too would love to know how much the valet parking costs. Would you need to get to Boardwalk early to valet park? Also, how do you get into World Showcase from Boarkwalk? Do you just put your ticket in the turnstile? Do you have to be staying on Disney property to do this? Do the turnstiles between Boardwalk and Epcot have differrent opening/closing times? Does the boat from Boardwalk to Epcot cost anything?

Sorry for jumping in here with all these questions!

Valet parking at GF costs $7 so I imagine that Boardwalk will be similar.

It sounds a good idea to me

..plus a tip when you collect the car. :smile:

Indeed! We tip on leaving the car and on collecting it too!
