From your car to EPCOT.
EPCOT has the straightforward arrival. Your parking lot leads to the main entrance beside Spaceship Earth. A tram can shorten the walk, and there is no boat or monorail transfer after parking.
The main entrance
Navigate to EPCOT parking. Drivers enter through the main entrance by Spaceship Earth. International Gateway, between the United Kingdom and France, has no general guest parking lot.
20 to 30 min
Our planning allowance from your parked car to the entrance. Allow extra time for security, busy mornings and your group's walking pace.
Tram or walk
The courtesy parking tram is included with standard parking. Fold strollers before boarding and keep your group together.
A little planning.

Know before you pull in.
The right parking entrance
Navigate to EPCOT parking. Drivers enter through the main entrance by Spaceship Earth. International Gateway, between the United Kingdom and France, has no general guest parking lot.
Is preferred worth the upgrade?
Preferred parking buys a shorter walk to the main entrance. It does not put your car near World Showcase or International Gateway. Standard parking with the courtesy tram is the better value for most visitors.
Parking lot opening
Opening times depend on that day's operations and Early Entry. Check the park hours and confirm with Disney if you have a breakfast or other early reservation. Avoid relying on a fixed daily opening time.
Who parks for free
Registered guests of eligible Disney Resort hotels and eligible Annual Passholders receive standard theme park parking included. Preferred is a $15 to $25 upgrade. Hotel day-guest parking is for an approved visit at that hotel, not a substitute for theme park parking.
Accessible parking and EVs
A valid disability parking permit gives access to designated spaces. Standard charges still apply unless you have an included parking benefit. EV charging is available on a first-come basis with a separate charging fee. Ask a Cast Member for directions at the parking entrance.
The way back
Return through the main entrance if you drove. International Gateway takes you toward the Skyliner, boats and EPCOT area hotels, away from your parking lot. Save your section and row before heading in.
