Parking for offsite guests near Broadwalk?

Hi All
We are going back to our happy place again this August. We are looking to have an evening walk around Broadwalk and are looking at possible places to park nearby.

Any Ideas?

Up until a year or so ago you could park in the overspill car park behind the gas station but now it's only for CM's I believe and the parking restrictions are enforced.

We always visit Boardwalk every holiday (and other WDW resorts) and we park at DS and catch the bus.

I've not parked at the Boardwalk (we tend to drop by as part of an Epcot visit) but you should be able to park for up to three hours for free (according to MouseSavers).

You can park at the Boardwalk itself for up to 3 hours but bear in mind that this is one resort where the car park can get full quickly because it has a convention centre and the delgates all turn up with their cars. There is a kind of overflow car park across the road but this too can get rammed at times. It you get turned away by security you'd have to find somewhere else. An alternative is park at Epcot, exit through International Gatewayand walk to Boardwalk.

As we found to our cost, the overflow car park is no more! It is now a staff car park. So parking is even more difficult, unless valet parking g is used!

Apart from paying for valet parking or paying to park at Epcot the only other option would be to park at Disney Springs and get the bus to Boardwalk.

We have parked there before as well. Did you get fined or something like that? :angry:

Which takes FOREVER! We arrived 20 minutes late for an ADR because of the blasted bus and all its stops.

Or you could park/get the bus to DHS then either walk or take the boat to the Boardwalk.
