    If I drive and stay at a WDW hotel (Pop Century) the night before a cruise, can I leave my vehicle there for free while cruising if I take a Disney transfer to the cruise terminal? What if I am also do a WDW hotel stay after the cruise at the same hotel?

    Welcome back to planDisney, Katie! I'm so happy that you are planning a Disney Cruise Line vacation!

    Parking at the Walt Disney World Resort is reserved for current Guests, so once you check out on the day you embark on your cruise, you will not be able to leave your car at Pop Century. Even if you are returning for another stay at Walt Disney World, you still cannot leave your car there without being a current Guest.

    While there is a daily parking fee at the cruise terminal, it is the easiest to do. You pull up to the terminal, hand your luggage over to the porters (don't forget to attach those luggage tags!), and then park. If you arrive early, you can wait in your car until your Port Arrival Time. Then, you can take a brief stroll to the terminal. On the morning of your debarkation, you can walk directly to your car once you go through immigration and not wait for a bus.

    This is probably not the news you wanted to hear, but I hope this helps you plan for your upcoming Disney vacation. It will be here before you know it! If you have any other questions, you know where to find us. planDisney is here to help you get ready for a magical cruise.
