    We will be visiting Epcot but would like to go to the Boardwalk for dinner and then come back to Epcot for the Illuminations dessert party. Will we be able to exit and re-enter the park at the International Gateway? We are not staying on Disney property.

    Hi Erin,

    Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Disney's BoardWalk is just a short walk from Epcot (and Disney's Hollywood Studios) and has lots of great entertainment in the evening. In my opinion, some of the best restaurants on property are on the BoardWalk so I'm sure you're going to enjoy a delicious meal no matter where you choose to dine! 

    You are more than welcome to use the International Gateway Entrance to Epcot to exit and enter the Park at any time. The location is my family's preferred way to enter Epcot since the area is much less crowded than the main entrance to the Theme Park and it's closer to World Showcase. 

    IllumiNations Sparkling Dessert Party is a magical way to end your day at the Park! Be sure to save room for the Pistachio cannoli that's currently on the dessert menu at the Party; it's amazing!

    Please visit us again if you have any additional vacation planning questions! 

    Magical Wishes,
    Susan
