Meet in the hotel lobby, then maybe grab a bite in the cafe.
would be great to meet some locals and tourists whilst on our holiday.
Parking is chargeable at the resort. Free parking is available at Disney Springs, you can also get the bus there. Then get the free boat to the resort... a lovely approach to the event. Coords of the boat dock at Disney Springs added as a waypoint.
You do not to be a hotel guest, or have any form of ticket (Park or other) to acces the hotel.
