Hello Daniela!
Thanks for bringing another question to planDisney! If you’re anything like me when I visit Walt Disney World theme parks, you’ll want a shorter walk back to your vehicle at the end of a long day. Preferred parking is a great option for more conveniently located parking lots at each park.
When you purchase preferred parking at the theme parks, your parking pass will be valid all day at all four theme parks. Your preferred parking pass will not give you access to Disney Resort hotel parking lots. However, if you have a dining reservation at a Disney Resort hotel,
standard self-parking is complimentary for day Guests during your dining reservation with a limit of three hours. You may then continue to use your preferred parking pass at the theme parks for the remainder of the valid date.
If you are staying at a Disney Resort hotel, standard theme park parking is included, but you may upgrade to preferred parking by paying the difference in cost. The cost may vary as pricing is seasonal.
I hope this was helpful, Daniela. Don’t forget to check out the
