Heigh-Ho Jenny,
Thank you for bringing your question to
planDisney, personally, I love puzzles and mapping out transportation to and fro ideas, and yours is one such. From what I gather, you are beginning your day at Epcot, exiting out of Epcot’s International Gateway to experience the
Disney Skyliner and returning back to Epcot’s International Gateway, where you will walk over to
Disney's Boardwalk and then try to get back to your vehicle in Epcot’s parking lot.
Here’s the conundrum, I could tell you to take a taxi or ride-share back to Epcot’s parking lot but you run the risk of the lot being closed and/or the trams not running to return you to your car. Instead, I feel your best option is to budget for a taxi/ride-share to take you to Epcot to start your day. And when you are done exploring the Boardwalk and wherever your Disney Adventure takes you, you return home with a taxi/ride-share. This will allow for a stress-free experience where time constraints are not an issue and you can be in the moment and make some magical memories.
I hope this is helpful and continue to ask us any curiouser or curiouser inquiries you may have for your upcoming stay at Walt Disney World.
Have a Practically Perfect Day,
Amy M.
