Hello, Daniel!
Welcome back to planDisney! I am glad that you contacted us again with another question. I bet you are excited now that your trip to Walt Disney World Resort is less than two weeks away!
Standard self-parking at Disney Resort hotels is complimentary to day Guests who are dining, shopping, or participating in recreational experiences at that hotel at this time. Since you want to visit EPCOT, I recommend either parking at EPCOT or taking a bus from
Disney's All-Stars Movies Resort to EPCOT. Registered Guests of Disney Resort hotels can currently access complimentary standard parking at any of the Walt Disney World theme parks. Parking at the theme parks is very easy!
Personally, I prefer to avoid driving as much as possible while on vacation, so my family typically relies on Walt Disney World's
free transportation to get to the theme parks. Buses arrive regularly, and I like that I do not have to worry about getting lost. I may have accidentally ended up at the entrance of an EPCOT Cast Member parking area once...oops! I had hoped to see Tarzan swinging from the trees to direct me to the right place, but alas, that did not happen!
The
Disney Skyliner usually opens about one hour before Early Theme Park Entry begins at EPCOT or Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and it closes each day around 90 minutes after those two theme parks close.
Disney's Beach Club Resort uses the same Disney Skyliner station as EPCOT. If you want to experience the Disney Skyliner, you could take it from EPCOT to Disney's Hollywood Studios. Or, you could enjoy a meal at one of the hotels connected to the Disney Skyliner. My family loves mobile ordering lunch at
Primo Piatto inside
Disney's Riviera Resort!
Daniel, I hope you have a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World Resort! Please reach out to planDisney again if you have other questions.
You are the magic!
Jen
