Welcome to planDisney, Stephen! Thanks so much for coming to us with your question today.
If you're planning a day trip that starts at the
Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, you will need to pay for parking if you want to drive there. Parking is $34 to $44, depending on what kind of parking you choose, and those prices are subject to change so keep in mind that it might be different when you arrive for your trip next year.
Since you are a guest of a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel and have access to
complimentary resort transportation, you do have another option!
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is connected to the
Disney Skyliner, so you can hop on a gondola and take it right to the International Gateway entrance to
EPCOT. From there, you can either walk to the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, which will take less than 10 minutes, or you can take a
Friendship Boat. It's just two stops from the International Gateway to your destination!
I hope this answers your question, Stephen, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation!
