    We are driving to Disney and staying at the Caribbean Beach resort. Do we have to pay to park at the resort?

    Hi there, Kris, and welcome to planDisney!

    You are in for a treat staying at the Caribbean Beach Resort. From the direct Disney Skyliner access (it has two stations!) to that ah-mazing pool area, there's not much to not love. Oh, and by the way, you can now get your hands on those yummy Mickey-shaped churro waffles from the Spyglass Grill. Okay, let's get right into personal vehicle parking.

    Fortunately, you may self-park at both your Resort hotel and at the theme parks for absolutely no additional charge when you're staying at a Disney World hotel. As long as you have a current linked hotel reservation, just scan your MagicBand+ or show your reservation in the My Disney Experience app (and a valid photo ID) at the parking attendant's booth. Valet parking is not complimentary. 

    Here's the cool part about staying on Disney World property: You really don't need to drive your car at all in order to get around. As I mentioned, the Skyliner is available to get you to places like EPCOT and Hollywood Studios (weather permitting). Another complimentary mode of transportation is the tried-and-true Disney bus. You can see the approximate arrival times in the My Disney Experience app under the Resort hotel section once you've started your vacay. 

    AN EXTRA GEM: The Disney Water Parks and Disney Springs offer free parking for all Guests, regardless if they are staying on property. 

    Kris, I'm sending tons of pixie dust your way! I hope that your trip to Disney World is nothing short of magical. Please don't hesitate to revisit us at planDisney.com if you have any more vacation planning questions.

    Magic always,
