I had a "fun" experience several years ago parking at EPCOT mid-day when there was also a golf tournament going on taking up a lot of the parking. The parking lot CM who was supposed to say which row to go to just kinda said "try this one"....except there were ZERO parking spots in that row...and...all parking lanes go one direction...so I had to basically go the wrong way down another lane to park.

Sounds like Disney handled things Augusta National style. Wish they'd do that more often!

There may not have been much to see when the park opened 👋

Unless the damage was minor, surprised nobody noticed it. The protective guardrail at the DHS parking entrance is still not repaired from the incident a year ago lol

The new member is not wrong. That’s all I can say.

Lying around like what? I didn't think they kept those in stock anymore. :cautious:

BrianApr 18, 2024

I can't speak to the validity of that member's claim, but I suspect it would be difficult to procure a parking booth in a matter of days, and it's not like they just have them lying around like lightbulbs.

Wow no I didn’t know that. Expected this was the first in a complete replacement.

You perhaps don't know this has nothing to do with a refurb. That kiosk was taken out a couple nights ago by a car.

Issue with Epcot is that they tend to close off a decent amount of parking for the RunDisney events, so they are forced to park people there. Considering that Disability parking is at capacity any given day, surprised to see they haven't converted that grass lot until additional parking space for Disability.

Has it ever come to a point where they park in grass at MK, AK or DHS? I've seen it happen several times at Epcot by the bus dropoff area but, hardly there or are those lots much bigger?

Biff215Apr 18, 2024

Just about to say the same thing. Disney doesn’t need a parking garage to pack them into Epcot, they’ll even use the grass when there’s demand for it.
