Five EPCOT lots for parking, and a 4 a.m. arrival for the 10K and half
Runners and spectators who drive park in five named EPCOT lots, and ride share zones change by race.
- Parking rows. Crush rows 201 to 216, Dory 401 to 417, HeiHei 101 to 110, Moana 301 to 310 and Wall-E 501 to 513.
- 5K and 10K drop-off. A dedicated ride share drop-off and pick-up zone sits next to the HeiHei lot.
- Half Marathon drop-off. The EPCOT ride share loop until 4 a.m., the Charter lot from 4:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., then the loop again.
- 5K arrival. Runners and spectators should arrive one hour before their projected race start time.
- 10K and half arrival. Disney asks participants and spectators to be in the EPCOT parking lot by 4 a.m.
Our take. If you are not running, start Saturday and Sunday a little later: the 10K roads are all open by 9 a.m. and the half's by 10:30 a.m., and a later start avoids every detour on the list.
