Alice,
Thanks for asking your question to planDisney!
Unfortunately no, you cannot get back from the
BoardWalk to the
EPCOT parking lot via the theme park after it has closed for the evening. There is no easy alternate walking route, but I do have a suggestion of your next best plan.
Step 1: In the morning, instead of parking at EPCOT, go instead to
Disney's Hollywood Studios and leave your car there. Then just use the
Disney Skyliner to soar to your EPCOT adventures!
Step 2: After leaving EPCOT for the day, and going to
AbracadaBar to delight in their magical concoctions, head home by soaring back to your car on the Skyliner.
WARNINGThe Skyliner does not run 24 hours a day. You still have to consider when you would need to leave the BoardWalk to get back to your car before Disney Resort transportation concludes for the evening. Using today's operating times as an example, the AbracadaBar closes at Midnight. But both EPCOT and Hollywood Studios both close at 9 pm. So that Skyliner tentatively would stop running around 10.
If you are OK with leaving by 9:45-ish, this plan will work. Otherwise, my suggestion is to simply move your car from EPCOT to the BoardWalk and let the front area staff know that you are planning on visiting the lounges along the BoardWalk. Because it is clear that you are not parking there to avoid paying the parking fee for a visit to a theme park, they may let you pass. No promises, but magic does happen at Walt Disney World!
Please feel free to
send me any follow-up questions directly.
Have a Magical Vacation!
