Hey Suzanne! Welcome to planDisney! I'm thrilled to receive your first question all the way from across the Pond. I will do my best to help you plan an unforgettable day at
The Most Magical Place on Earth.
I can totally understand your excitement about your advanced dining reservation. You will be happy to know that
Parking at
Disney Resort Collection hotels is complimentary for Guests staying at that Resort or for those Guests with dining reservations. Plus, you can enjoy the breathtaking views, fireworks, and shops around the Resort.
There is a 3-hour parking limit, and they enforce this rule, but you should be totaly fine. The only problem happens if you stay the whole day while visiting the parks and risk getting your car towed. As you only need a couple extra hours, talk to the Hotel Guest Services after your dinner and be honest about your intentions. They're super friendly and accommodating, and they'll do everything they can to make sure you have an amazing experience. I would be astonished if they don't go above and beyond to help you stay a little longer and watch the fireworks without any worries about your vehicle.
Suzanne, I hope you have a magical time and a fantastic dinner at
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. If you have any more questions,
please let us know. We're here to help you plan the best day ever!
Cheers
Nilson
