Advisory: Boardwalk Resort Parking Restrictions
Uh-Oh! It looks like many people were trying to go to Epcot by parking at Disney's Boardwalk Resort!
Well, not anymore, as this year Disney has decided to close the gates of the resort's parking lot for all outside guests who are not staying at a Disney hotel and to all those who have no reservation to any of the hotel's restaurants (excluding all guests who use the valet parking, of course):

After evaluating the first three weekends of Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival, we have decided to restrict parking every Friday through Sunday until May 15th.
Disney’s BoardWalk Resort will be limiting parking access to the following groups:
- Resort guests with a Key to the World card
- Guests attending a special event, wedding, or conference
- Guests with dining reservations
- Guests utilizing valet parking
- Guests with special needs
All other guests should park in the parking lot across the street behind the Hess station.

If you were among those people who used to park at the hotel to go to the park, well... sorry! But, don't worry! Epcot's parking lot is huge, and you can be sure that your car will fit too :-)! We do agree that the cost of the area's theme parks is really becoming a joke (luckily we are annual pass-holders in every park, so we never have to pay that), but it's also worth to remember that parking at the hotels is not very kind for all the people that are residing in it, as they may not find a parking space for themselves.
But ...... the Boardwalk is also partyzone with ESPN etc. for everybody. That's the way it is designed. Did Disney forget that ? It has nothing to do with taking places of hotel-quests.

That is right, Ben. Disney's Boardwalk is like a smaller version of Downtown Disney, and I think they will loose some customers doing that. We'll see if they decide to change their mind. Who knows...
