Hi there, Nancy! Welcome to planDisney.
Lucky you! In just a few days you'll be escaping the cold and snow here in Illinois for some fun at Walt Disney World Resort!
Parking at Disney Resort Hotels is reserved for overnight Guests and those with confirmed dining reservations. In my experience, security at
Disney's BoardWalk Inn is particularly strict about permitting Guests to park there. I am afraid if you drive to Disney's BoardWalk Inn and do not have a reservation, you will be turned away. If you are planning to visit
Disney's Hollywood Studios, my recommendation would be to park there. You are welcome to use complimentary
boat transportation from Disney's Hollywood Studios if you would like to visit Disney's BoardWalk Inn or any of the other hotels located near Crescent Lake. Stop in to see some of the beautiful
gingerbread displays in their lobbies for the holiday season. Boats also transport Guests to the International Gateway entrance to
EPCOT, which is convenient if you plan to
park hop.
Nancy, I hope you have a wonderful time visiting The Most Magical Place on Earth! If you have any additional questions, please feel free to stop by and see us here at planDisney again anytime. We are always happy to help.
Anne Marie
