Welcome to planDisney, David! I'm so glad that I can answer your question today on the night before you leave for your Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Do you remember that classic unforgettable commercial from the nineties with the little boy that was "too excited to sleep"? I bet that's how you feel right now!
David, I'm pleased to tell you that if you're a guest at a
Walt Disney World Resort Hotel, your standard Theme Park
parking is included and you do not need to worry about paying when you enter. It's one of the many
benefits of staying at the Most Magical Place on Earth! When you arrive at the Theme Park you're visiting for the day, one of the Cast Members at the parking booth will scan your
MagicBand and be able to see that you're a Resort Hotel guest and will wave you through to park. If you want to upgrade to preferred parking to park a little bit closer to the entrance, you're able to do this by paying the difference between that price and the price for standard parking. If you're planning a visit to
Disney Springs to do some dining or shopping, parking there is complimentary as well so all you need to do is find the perfect spot!
Have a magical day, David!
