    Heading to AK on 1/2 & park hopping to Epcot for Luminous at night. Is park to park transportion still running - since AK closes earlier? Should we take Disney transport to / from AK or drive ? If driving, will we have to pay additional parking fee?

    Happy New Year, Sheryl! Thanks so much for swinging by with your question today. Since you'll be visiting Walt Disney World tomorrow, let's jump right in and chat about how to hop between parks to catch Luminous The Symphony of Us at EPCOT.

    Sheryl, I'm pleased to tell you that bus transportation from Disney's Animal Kingdom will be running to EPCOT when you're leaving the park. The bus will drop you off at the front of the park, but if you want more direct access to World Showcase to save your spot for the show, you could also take a bus to Disney's Yacht Club Resort, Disney's Beach Club Resort, or Disney's BoardWalk Inn and then take the short walk to the International Gateway entrance of EPCOT. Personally, that's what I would do, but choose the option that works best for you and your plans!

    It looks like driving is also an option for you, so if you choose to do that, just know that you will not need to pay an additional parking fee to park in multiple lots in one day. Your one charge at the beginning of the day covers parking for the entirety of that day, so feel free to park hop at your leisure knowing that parking is covered. 

    Have a magical day, Sheryl!
