    Hi! Is there a way we can prepay for preferred parking for one day when we visit Epcot this July 2025? Thanks

    Hiya Jackie,

    Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your parking question! Can you believe you're just weeks away from cruising through EPCOT and strolling the World Showcase? It’s like taking a world tour with a touch of Disney magic and no passport required!

    Now, let’s shift gears and talk parking. While you can’t prepay for preferred parking, the good news is that it’s super simple to take care of when you arrive. Just let the friendly Cast Member at the toll plaza know you'd like to upgrade to preferred parking, and they’ll help you faster than Lightning McQueen on race day! It’s available on a first-come, first-served basis and subject to availability, so I recommend getting there early to snag one of those front-row spots.

    My family loves using preferred parking—it puts us in the fast lane for park entry, and trust me, at the end of a long park day, there’s nothing better than seeing your car parked just a short stroll away. 

    Please note that the cost of preferred parking can fluctuate daily. However, if you’re staying at a Disney Resort or are a select Annual Passholder, standard parking is included, and you can always pay the difference for the preferred option. It’s a nice way to add a little extra ease to your Disney day.

    Jackie, I hope this helps as you rev up for your upcoming vacation! If you have any more questions as you plan, be sure to cruise back and visit us again.

    See ya real soon,

    Christina
