Hi there Julia,
A warm planDisney welcome from a fellow Canadian! Thanks so much for visiting today with your question about parking. It’s so fun to plan an incredible trip to Walt Disney World Resort, there’s so many moving parts to think about! From dining to transportation, tickets and hotels, it can be a lot to absorb. I’m happy to assist with your question so let’s take a peek!
I spoke to a Cast Member at
The Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel who confirmed that as a Guest of the hotel, you will have access to all of the perks and amenities of the hotel until midnight on the day you check out. You can enjoy the 3-acre
Grotto pool (in addition to the four other pools and whirlpool spas) or perhaps squeeze in a visit to the Dolphin Health Club if you’re looking to hit the treadmill or lift some weights. Guests also have access to the same Guest benefits until midnight on the check out day so if there is a theme park offering
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours, you would still be eligible to attend! The Extended Evening Theme Park Hours are a fantastic way to experience the parks with lower crowds and shorter wait times for attractions. To find out if there are Extended Evening Theme Park Hours during your stay, please check the calendar in the My Disney Experience Mobile app. Disney Resort Guests are eligible for complimentary theme park parking for the duration of their stay up until midnight on the day they check out.
If you’re driving a personal vehicle, I highly recommend using the
Car Locator. It’s a complimentary feature found in the My Disney Experience App that allows you to save your parking details. This feature is so helpful - your feet will thank you at the end of the night since you’ll know exactly where you are heading instead of wandering to search for your vehicle. To use this feature, open the My Disney Experience app and click on the “☰” menu. Scroll down to “Getting Around” and select “Car Locator”. Follow the prompts and enter your parking information. At the end of your park day, open Car Locator to find your parking information and you’re set! Your feet will thank you.
I hope this information helps with your vacation planning, Julia. If you have any additional planning questions, please revisit planDisney. We’d love to help!
Happy planning,
Candace
