    How do we get our parking validated, if we have to pay when we park?

    Hey there, Larzetta!

    I'm so happy to welcome you to planDisney! And oh my goodness...your trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth is just a few short days away! Can we take a moment to celebrate that? Cue the confetti...Woohoo! This is such an exciting time, and I can only imagine how thrilled you must be as you get ready to make new memories and soak in every bit of pixie dust. A Disney vacation countdown always brings its own special kind of joy. 

    And speaking of joy, you're arriving during the most wonderful time of the year...the holiday season at Walt Disney World! The parks and resorts transform into the most beautiful winter wonderland filled with that warm, cozy magic you can only feel during the holidays. It's one of my favorite times of the year to visit, and you're in for such an unforgettable experience.

    I know you're probably juggling those last-minute trip essentials and final details, so let's hop, skip, and jump right into your question!

    If you're not staying at a Disney Resort and plan to drive to the theme parks, a daily parking fee will apply. The good news is that once you pay for parking, your pass is valid all day at all four theme parks. So, if you decide to park hop, just show your parking receipt at the next park's entrance, and you'll be all set to go right in.

    It's important to note that paying for parking does not guarantee parking availability if you leave and return to the same park later in the day, or if you choose to visit a different theme park. Parking is still subject to capacity.

    When you park your vehicle, be sure to take advantage of the Car Locator feature in the My Disney Experience app. This complimentary tool uses your phone's Location Services to automatically help find and save your parking spot, making it easy to locate your car at the end of your day. 

    Larzetta, I hope this information helps, and you have the very best trip! Should you have any other questions come up, you're always welcome here at planDisney!

    See ya real soon,
