    We will be visiting Disney World beginning 3/14!!! We are staying in a hotel outside of Disney. Is it possible to park at EPCOT each day and take the tram to the other parks or do we have to park at the park we are visiting? What would you recommend?

    Hi, Glen!  The tram does not travel in between theme parks.  The trams only take people from the theme park to the parking area of that theme park.  There are different trams running in each parking lot.

    It won't help much to park at the EPCOT parking lot, because from there, you would have to rely on Walt Disney World transportation to get from EPCOT to where you really want to go.  You can get to the Magic Kingdom via the monorail from EPCOT, but any of the other theme parks will require you to get on one of the Walt Disney World buses.  The transportation between the parks is free, but you will have to pay to park, no matter which lot you use to park your car.

    With that in mind, it would be a tremendous time saver to just drive to the theme park you want to be at, and park your car there.
