    I'm an annual passholder and I would like to upgrade to preferred parking. How do I do that?

    Hiya Joy! 

    As a fellow Annual Passholder, I’m delighted to welcome you to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by with your question for us.

    With all the fantastic perks that come with Annual Passes, such as dining and merchandise discounts, along with being able to return to the magic all year long, it’s no wonder my family renews our passes every year. And, of course, one of those perks includes complimentary standard parking!

    Joy, I'm excited to hear you're considering upgrading standard parking at the theme parks to preferred parking. In this case, all you have to do is let the Cast Member know at the theme park gate. They will scan your admission card, Disney MagicMobile, or MagicBand to confirm your Annual Pass, and you will only be charged the price difference. Yippie! After this, they will hand you a Preferred Parking Pass for your car, and as you drive into the theme park, you'll follow the Preferred Parking signage. There will also be Cast Members who are happy to show you where to park.   

    You'll find preferred parking lots to be much closer to the theme park entrances, and your achy feet will thank you for upgrading on the days you walk a lot. 

    Wishing you an enchanting visit, Joy!
