Hiya, Kristy, and welcome to planDisney!
A
Disney Gift Card is my go-to tool to remain within budget during my visits. Vacation life is so much easier when everything can be charged to one card! I’ll be happy to clarify this for you.
Yes, you may use your Disney Gift Card to pay for
parking at the Disneyland Resort! You will need to present your card to the parking attendant when you enter the structure. It’s totally fine that it’s digital and on your phone. They’ll scan it once you present it!
There are three parking structures available for park Guests: the Mickey & Friends Parking Structure, Pixar Pals Parking Structure, and the Toy Story Parking Area. For covered parking, you can choose between the Mickey & Friends and Pixar Pals Parking Structures. Both are connected and located on the west side of the Resort. After parking, you can take the tram from the area to the parks. You will be dropped off in
Downtown Disney District near the World of Disney store. From here, it’s an easy walk to the Esplanade!
For outdoor parking, the Toy Story Parking Area is available. Instead of a tram, Guests are transported to the Esplanade by shuttle. For directions to any parking location, just search its name in your preferred navigation app.
Kristy, I hope this helps and that you enjoy your magical day at the Happiest Place on Earth. Please come back and see us again here at planDisney if you have any additional questions!
Sending you faith, trust, and pixie dust,
Karmeen
