    Can I park at the Swan Resort if not a guest there in order to walk to Epcot

    Hi Donna! Welcome to planDisney!

    Oh boy! It seems like your magical vacation is underway. I hope you are having an amazing time so far and enjoying all aspects of your stay.

    Unfortunately, Guests who are not staying at the Walt Disney World Swan or Dolphin Hotels will be unable to park their vehicle at the hotel. Parking is reserved for Guests staying overnight or Guests who are dining at the hotel. If you plan to head over to EPCOT, you'll need to park your car at the designated parking lot located at the front of the park. If you are staying in a Disney Resort hotel, standard parking will be complimentary. Otherwise, you'll need to pay to park your car for the day.

    If your goal is to enter EPCOT through the International Gateway entrance, you can park your vehicle at Disney's Hollywood Studios and make your way to EPCOT. You can utilize Disney Transportation by hopping on a Friendship Boat or the Disney Skyliner to get over to EPCOT. There is also a walking path that will take you to Disney's Boardwalk, which you can use to get over to the International Gateway.

    Many Guests love using this back entrance in order to get in line early for Remy's Ratatouille Adventure. This attraction typically has a wait throughout the day, so heading there first thing in the morning is a way to beat the crowds. By entering through the International Gateway, you're just a short walk over the bridge into France, where the ride is located.

    Donna, I hope this information helps you plan for your EPCOT day! Have a magical time exploring the parks!
