    I’m staying at AoA and will have a car. If we decide to drive to MK or AK vs taking the bus, does it cost anything to park at the parks?

    Hi there, Susan!

    Thanks for cruising by planDisney with your parking question! It sounds like you’re gearing up for an amazing pit stop at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, where you’ll be surrounded by the high-octane fun of Radiator Springs and the undersea magic of The Little Mermaid! 

    Now, let’s speed into your question! You’ll be happy to know that standard theme park parking is included for registered Guests of Disney hotels and select Annual Passholders—so you can park, rev up your engines, and get ready for a day full of adventure! If you’d like to park a little closer to the action, you can opt for Preferred Parking by paying the difference between the standard and preferred parking fees.

    Pro Tip: Since you’re staying at a Disney hotel, you also get to jumpstart your day with Early Theme Park Entry! This lets you zoom past the crowds and get into the parks 30 minutes early—giving you a head start on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure or soaring through Pandora on Flight of Passage before the race heats up!

    I hope this helps steer you in the right direction, Susan! If you have any more questions, feel free to cruise on back!

    See you real soon,

    Christina
