Boardwalk to Epcot after epcot has closed...

We were looking at visiting the Boardwalk after our day at Epcot in October, we will be offsite so will have the car. Whats the best way to get from the boardwalk back to the Epcot car park as the park would have closed by the time we leave BW. Or would it be better to leave EP and drive to the BW instead? We only have 1 day at Epcot this year and we keep meaning to visit the boardwalk so really want to try and get there!

Take the car to BW. It would be awful if you found you couldn’t get to Epcot car park! Plus it is a long walk from BW to Epcot car park.

Can you park at BW if staying off-site?
I've often thought of the same scenario as the OP, but wondered how to get back your my car too.

I thought as your paid for a day’s parking if you show your Epcot parking pass they would let you park for free.

That only applies to other parks, not resort parking.

OP - I believe that parking at the Epcot resorts can be limited, and they may not let you in without an ADR. Another option is to park for free in the car park next to Fantasia Golf, which is over the road from the Swan/Dolphin, then walk or catch the boat from there to the Boardwalk.

We got caught out at Boardwalk after park closed
Option was taxi or uber to Epcot, or bus to MK and monorail to TTC, then change to Epcot monorail.

Agree this is the best option IMHO.

You could park at HS. You can walk there from the Boardwalk in 15 minutes without entering a park

Another option is to drive to the BW, use valet parking and enter Epcot through there. Your car will be in the right place then.

Last time we were off-site and spent some time at the Boardwalk, we had parked up at Fantasia Gardens, played some of their minigolf, then walked over through the Swan/Dolphin.
