shopping passes??

[VINN127]

Can you get a pass to go into Epcot to shop? If so what's the procedure? I remember reading about this somewhere just don't remember the answer!

Not that I have ever heard of, no.

Epcot is so big that it doesn't seem like it would work, but they used to let people run a credit card through at MK then they had one hour to shop. If they didn't make it back in an hour, they had just bought a ticket.

I tried to do a search to see if anyone has done this or knows about but to no avail...

I do know someone who did it at Universal though.. she got a shopping pass and was allowed a certain amount of time to do her shopping..

Scroll all the way to the very last question

Very neat, Goldien!!! Some real sleuths here on the DIS.

If you want to shop in Epcot, you'll have to pay!

That would be great if they did do this, but how would they keep track of you?

Just as an FYI we tried this at MK 2 months ago and they no longer allowed that practice.

It was not particularly difficult to do. You went to guest services, handed them your credit card, they imprinted it and put the time on it. You had to return to the same guest services window within the hour time frame and they would destroy the credit card receipt. If you did not make it, you bought yourself a ticket. If you paid cash you got a receipt with the time on it. This was not rocket science.
