    Is there a better parking alternative for wide world of sports cheer comp this weekend 5/10. I live here and it’s very expensive to ride share. I was told cheer buses were backed up last weekend. Or how early should I arrive to make it for a 10:22 comp

    Hi there, Amanda, and welcome to planDisney! You must be so excited to attend the competition this weekend, especially since it's in your hometown! While I'm not a cheer mom (yet), I totally understand the stress of traveling to and from kids' sporting events and navigating parking challenges that often accompany them.

    Amanda, you'll be happy to know that general parking at ESPN Wide World of Sports is complimentary, and valet parking is available during select events for a fee. If the parking at the facility is full, Guests will be directed to alternate parking locations. Use the car locator feature of the My Disney Experience Mobile App to help you remember where you've parked. Anytime I go from one destination to another within Walt Disney World Resort, I plan for it to take at least an hour, just in case of traffic. Arriving early allows time for a snack and a restroom break!

    After the competition, consider heading to Disney Springs for a celebratory meal or a sweet treat. Happily, parking there is free! I highly recommend Swirls on the Water for some DOLE Whip! It's the perfect way to cool off after an exciting day.

    Since you're a Florida resident, be sure to check out the Special Offers available to you at the Most Magical Place on Earth. There are some great discounts that you might be able to take advantage of in the near future!

    Amanda, please stop by planDisney with any other questions you have about your upcoming visit. I hope you have the very best time!

    See ya real soon!
