Dining Reservations and Parking Fees

[Girlw0nder]

Parking fees and ADRs.

If we have a reservation at The Boardwalk and want to then head into Epcot via International Gateway, how does parking work, and is this possible?

Do you generally have pay to park in hotels if you have a dining reservation? Last time we were there, it was free hotel parking except for the actual parks.

Many thanks in advance!

You are only supposed to park at Hotels while you dine, signs at the Boardwalk parking lot warn that it's not available for theme park parking. The other option would be to pay for valet parking which isn't time limited.

As Dr J says, it's only meant to be for dining - three hours is the guest limit IIRC. If you were going to quickly pop in to Epcot for fireworks after dinner, I'm sure that would be fine. But breakfast followed by a full day in the park would probably result in some unhappy security guards when you got back.

Thank you both, I thought so.

I'm not planning on parking and then spending a full day in the park, just fancied a meal out and a stroll into Epcot as we've never been through IG before.

Maybe we'll get an Uber that day!
