    Hello, We are staying off property, but we have a few dining reservations at Disney hotels. How soon before our reservation can we arrive? We were hoping to ride the surrey bikes at the Boardwalk before our Beaches & Cream reservation. Thanks!

    Welcome to planDisney, Courtney! Thanks for stopping by with your question about parking at Disney Resort hotels with dining reservations. I’m happy to hear you have an upcoming visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth. It is my pleasure to help you navigate parking and enjoy your time at Beaches & Cream Soda Shop and Disney’s BoardWalk

    Typically, you can arrive and park around 30 to 45 minutes before your dining reservation at a Disney Resort hotel. Parking is also often limited to around 2-3 hours for visitors or Guests with dining reservations. If you want more time to explore Disney’s BoardWalk, either use Disney transportation to go to Disney’s BoardWalk or Disney’s Beach Club Resort, or park at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (with a paid parking fee) and take the Disney Skyliner to EPCOT. The Disney Skyliner drops you between the International Gateway entrance to EPCOT and Disney’s Beach Club Resort. It is a lovely area to walk around and explore. 

    I hope you can enjoy the Surrey Bikes at the BoardWalk before your meal at Beaches and Cream Soda Shop! Have a magical visit, Courtney! If we can answer more of your questions, please bring them here! At planDisney, we love helping our Pals experience the most magical Disney experience possible. 

    See Ya Real Soon!
