Hi there Lynne! Welcome to planDisney and thanks for visiting with a great question. Let's dive in!
There are many ways to travel to Walt Disney World Resort and even more ways to travel from a Resort to the theme parks. Many visitors opt for Disney Transportation which includes the
Walt Disney World Monorail Transportation,
the Disney Skyliner,
Walt Disney World Water Transportation,
Walt Disney World Bus Service, and others travel in a personal vehicle or rental. Walt Disney World Resort Hotel Guests receive complimentary parking at both the Resorts and theme parks while other Guests can choose between two categories of parking at the theme parks: standard parking and preferred parking. Both types of parking allow for in and out privileges but do not guarantee parking availability upon return later in the day. I spoke with a Cast Member who informed me that the Theme Park Auto Plaza currently accepts credit and debit payments but not cash.
Tip: If you're driving a personal or rental vehicle on Walt Disney World Resort Property, be sure to use the
Car Locator feature in the
My Disney Experience Mobile app. It allows you to easily save your parked vehicle's information which helps for a quicker exit at the end of a long day at the theme parks.
Lynne, I hope this information is helpful to your vacation planning. Please visit
planDisney again with any other questions, we're here to help!
See ya real soon,
Candace
