    I am planning to bring my daughter to the Princess Breakfast at Grand Californian and then into the park. In terms of parking, I know I will get 5 hours complimentary at the hotel but if I leave my car during our park hours, how will I be charged?

    Hey there Novelle,

    Welcome to planDisney and thank you for your question! I'm thrilled to hear that you and your daughter will get to enjoy the Princess Breakfast Adventures at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa - what a fun experience!

    As for parking, you're correct that you'll receive 5 hours complimentary parking - your choice of valet or self-parking - with your restaurant validation. It's definitely recommended to move your vehicle to a different lot though if you plan to visit the parks beyond that 5 hour period.

    According to the Parking overview page on the Disneyland Resort website as of the time that I'm answering your question, the daily standard rates for self-parking are $45 per vehicle for the first hour plus $10 for each additional hour, with a maximum rate of $85. Whereas self-parking at the designated Disneyland Resort parking areas for Guests visiting the parks are $40 per car or motorcycle.

    I'll note a few disclaimers that parking is subject to availability and all of these prices may change without notice, but my point in sharing is just to say that it is more cost effective to re-park your car if you plan to visit the parks after your time at the Princess Breakfast Adventures.

    Thanks again for your question, Novelle! I hope you and your daughter have so much fun making new magical memories during your upcoming visit to the Disneyland Resort. 

    Have a Magical Day,
    Greg
