Hiya Cynthia,
Welcome back to
planDisney! I still remember seeing the parking lot trams at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park when they returned. I let out a high-pitched scream and did a little jig in the middle of the road. I definitely missed the parking lot trams!
When I was at Walt Disney World Resort a few months ago, I saw no parking lot trams at
EPCOT or
Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I did see some new signage that suggested a return was imminent, but no trams were in sight. As things constantly change at the Most Magical Place on Earth, I double-checked with a Cast Member. Unfortunately, the parking lot tram service has still not resumed at Disney’s Hollywood Studios or EPCOT as of today. I highly recommend keeping an eye on
Disney Parks Blog to see if they have returned by September.
I’ll definitely keep my fingers crossed, Cynthia. While the walk back to your vehicle is much nicer at EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios compared to Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, it can still be unpleasant in the heat. Speaking of which, make sure to pack rain gear and reusable water bottles for your visit. September can be balmy and rainy depending on the day, so you will want to be prepared for anything. As someone who attended graduate school in the Sunshine State, I know that rain is always on the horizon, even if the forecast calls for sun.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
