Welcome Home, Mariel!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I love Disney's BoardWalk Villas - the convenience is fantastic! You are a 10-minute boat ride away from the
Planet of Batuu, and a 10-minute walk in the other direction is Epcot's International Gateway. You also have the convenience of the brand new Disney Skyliner, so you can "literally" use land, air, or sea to get to TWO theme parks!
Speaking of getting places, as a Guest with Advanced Dining Reservations, you are more than welcome to park for the day at a Resort. So, you will get
complimentary parking at both
Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows and
Disney's Contemporary Resort on the day of your reservation but cannot stay overnight. Overnight parking is exclusive to the Resort's Guests.
But, you have plenty of options to Resort hop! Probably the easiest thing to do is
hail a Minnie Van via the Lyft app. The polka-dotted beauty will take you door to door. Lately, it seems like we always end up using the Minnie Van service at least once, the convenience is great! If you prefer to utilize
complimentary transportation, I would head to Disney's Hollywood Studios (there is a walkway, boat service, bus service, and Disney Skyliner). Once you are there, I would take a bus to either one of the Resorts. If you don't mind walking a bit, you can walk through
Epcot to the
Monorail and then take that over to the Magic Kingdom Resort area.
Mariel, I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to come back!
