EPCOT has begun a resurfacing project aimed at updating sections of its parking lot. This initiative is a part of broader efforts to enhance the guest experience at the park. Currently, the Moana parking lot area is undergoing significant work and has been cordoned off for the duration of the project.

While this change may not impact every visitor, those planning to drive to EPCOT should be aware of the potential for delays. Cast members will be redirecting traffic, which may result in slower access to the lot, especially during peak arrival times.

Guests are encouraged to look out for signage and guidance from the staff, as alternate parking options remain available.

Affected Areas within the Parking Lot

The resurfacing efforts are primarily focused on the Moana section of the parking facility. This part of the lot has been closed off to ensure a safe and efficient working environment for the crews involved in the project. Other sections of the parking lot will remain open, but the reorganization might still affect how guests navigate to their parking spots.

For those who plan to drive to EPCOT, it’s essential to anticipate possible delays during morning and evening arrival times. This is especially pertinent for those who may be accustomed to a particular routine when accessing the park. The resurfacing work could lead to slower traffic flows and necessitate time for parking.

For guests considering alternatives to driving, Walt Disney World offers convenient bus transportation that connects various resorts and parks. Utilizing the bus services can alleviate the stress of parking and ensure a more seamless entrance into EPCOT. These buses operate frequently throughout the day, making it a great choice for visitors eager to arrive without the complications associated with parking.

The Monorail system serves as another fantastic alternative for getting to EPCOT. With direct lines linking the park to several key locations, including Magic Kingdom and select resorts, the Monorail not only offers a quick and efficient transit option but can also enhance the overall Disney experience. The scenic ride through the resort is an attraction in itself, providing guests with breathtaking views along the way.
