    Is there a way to get to Disney Boardwalk from Epcot’s parking lot without entering the park?

    Hey there, Franciso! Welcome to planDisney!

    When I read your question, runDisney came to mind. With these races and the magic of Disney road closures, we start in the EPCOT parking lot and make our way to Disney's BoardWalk. Even then, we run through the park. There is no path to walk to the BoardWalk from the EPCOT parking lot without going through EPCOT. The EPCOT parking lot is near the front gates, and the entrance to Disney's BoardWalk is by the International Gateway at the back of the theme park. 

    You can park at Disney's Hollywood Studios and walk to the BoardWalk. You will find the path along the lake near the resort bus area. It's a bit of a hike that takes you on a lovely path. You can also take the FriendShip Boat, which sets sail from the front of Hollywood Studios and goes to the BoardWalk area resorts. Just look for the dock and canopy, which, like the walking path, follows along Crescent Lake. 

    Did you know you can get directions, including walking paths and Disney Transportation, on the My Disney Experience app? Just use the "Get Directions" function. With the magnifying glass icon at the bottom of the screen, search for your desired location. When you open the destination's page, select "Get Directions" and follow the prompts. It will guide you with every step, bus, boat or gondola.

    I hope this information is helpful, Francisco, as you plan and navigate your day at the Most Magical Place on Earth. If you have any other questions, please come back by planDisney.
