Know before you go Important Information

Parking

Disney has informed us the Yacht and Beach Club parking lots will NOT be available to attendees due to construction and preparation for the large Gartner technology conference happening in the weeks after our event. If you are planning to stay on Disney property we strongly recommend you book a room in the Crescent Lake/Boardwalk area or along the Skyliner route (Pop Century, Art of Animation, Riviera Resort or Caribbean Beach) as both options will make it possible for you to walk to the event.

We have requested alternative parking at the Boardwalk Resort but have not received permission yet from Disney. Other options would be to park at EPCOT and, for those with park admission, walk to International Gateway or take a Minnie Van, rideshare or taxicab from EPCOT’s parking lot or from your nearby resort or lodging directly to the Yacht Club. Accessible parking will be available at Yacht Club utilizing complimentary valet parking for those with valid accessible parking placards or plates.

Event Merchandise

RetroMagic shirts, mugs, and other event-branded merchandise is availabe ahead of the event at our online store.
