I'm trying to plan a day of park hopping with a car. I would like to not have to move the car during the day, so I'd like to park once in the morning and pick it up at night. I have done this before, arriving at DHS at opening, taking the Friendship boat over to Epcot in the afternoon, then walking back from Epcot to my car at DHS through the Boardwalk resort area when the day was done. Not sure my travel companion would want to walk that far at the end of the day.
This time I'm planning a day similar to last time. Start at DHS near opening time, go to Epcot during the day and stay there until closing. Obviously the easy thing to do would be just to use my car between the two parks, but I would like to include a boat ride or walk through the Boardwalk area at least one way. If I park first at Epcot to have my car ready for the end of the day, will the park to park bus to DHS be operating before opening? Does it matter that DHS is having the extra magic hour that morning?
Another option is to take the bus between the two parks when I transition from DHS to Epcot. Then we could take the boat or walk back after Epcot closes. I assume the boat will run after closing but maybe not. DHS also closes an hour before Epcot that day. Also Illuminations starts at 9p so getting back could be even later, almost two hours after DHS closes.
Any thoughts or suggestions from folks how have similarly split the day between these two parks?
