If We Pay to Park at a WDW Park Will the Parking Pass Allow Us to Park at BW?

We're hitting Epcot tomorrow paying the parking fee, will the pass allow us to park at BW in the same evening/

Thanks,

No. You will likely be turned away at the gate unless you have a dining or room reservation.

If you have a room reservation, parking at the parks is free. If you have a dining reservation at BW parking will be free. If you have neither, take Disney transporting to BW, because the chances of getting in are incredibly low.

There's no charge for parking at a resort.

However, as above, resort parking is limited to guests with resort or dining reservations there. I'm not sure how they're handling parking at BW for people who just want to visit the Boardwalk, which was promoted as a destination in itself. It's often difficult for resort guests to find parking in the lot there.

If Epcot is still going to be open after you visit BW, just walk out the IG and over to BW. It's a very short walk. Of course, this won't work if Epcot is closed when you are ready to leave BW since you have to walk through Epcot to get to your car.

Thanks for the replies, we'll just return to the Epcot lot in the evening and stroll over to BW.

If there’s any doubt that you’ll finish at BW before Epcot closes (blocking access to your car), you could park free at DHS and then walk/boat/Skyliner over to the BW. If boat/Skyliner have shut down by the time you finish at BW, you can still walk to the DHS parking lot to get your car.

I was thinking this might be a better strategy, too. In reality, the walk from BW to HS is no longer (and perhaps shorter) than walking to IG at EP, then all the way through EP to the parking lot. If you pay to park at EP earlier in the day, that receipt will get you free parking at the other parks during the day, including HS. It just won't get you free parking at BW or any of the resorts.
