    Hello, we're booked at Cape May Cafe on the 13th Apr at 7.30am, and just wondered how to manage parking. Is it easy to get to the cafe if we park in the main Epcot car park?

    Hi there, Lynsey!

    Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for stopping by with your question! I'm so excited you've got a magical morning planned at Cape May Cafe—probably my family's favorite character breakfast in all of Walt Disney World Resort. We're big fans of Disney's Beach Club Resort and that incredible Stormalong Bay pool, but seeing Mickey and his pals in their beachy, surf-inspired attire makes this dining adventure extra special. It's the perfect way to kick off a day of fun!

    Regarding your question about parking and getting you to the breakfast magic smoothly. Since you have a confirmed reservation at Cape May Cafe, your best bet is to park directly at Disney's Beach Club Resort. Once you've enjoyed your delicious start to the day and said hello to your favorite characters, you can relocate to EPCOT's main parking lot to begin your next adventure in the park.

    While it might sound convenient to park at EPCOT and walk over, there's a little twist to keep in mind. Unless EPCOT is already open to Guests with valid admission at that time, there's no way to walk from the EPCOT parking lot to Beach Club Resort without cutting through the park itself. Since EPCOT Early Entry is 8:30 AM on the day of your breakfast, it won't be open early enough to make that plan work for a 7:30 AM breakfast reservation.

    Lynsey, if you're staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you'll have access to complimentary standard parking at the theme parks and at the Resort where you're a registered Guest. Don't forget to take advantage of Disney's complimentary transportation options, including buses, boats, monorails, and the Disney Skyliner—each one a fun adventure of its own!

    If you have any more questions as you plan your vacation, whether it's about dining, park-hopping strategies, or which attractions to prioritize with the Lightning Lane Multi Pass, I'd be thrilled to help. 

    Cheers,
    Brent
