Hello, Edward!
We're so glad you found your way back to planDisney. Our panelist pit crew is always ready to answer questions and share our insights faster than Lightning McQueen can say "Kachow!" Let's get you tuned up on all the latest details so you can "float like a Cadillac" right into a parking spot on your upcoming visit.
You'll be glad to know that guests enjoy
complimentary self-parking during their stay at a Disney Resort Hotel. As you cruise up to the resort's entrance gate, a Cast Member will confirm your reservation and direct you toward Bell Services to drop your luggage before parking your vehicle. You'll enjoy overnight parking throughout your stay, in addition to standard theme park parking at the parks if you choose to drive instead of utilizing
complimentary resort transportation. I usually prefer to leave the driving to someone else on my visits, but I understand some guests like the convenience of having their own vehicle nearby. Be sure to use the handy
Car Locator feature in the My Disney Experience app to keep tabs on where you parked.
If I've misunderstood your question and you were asking about advance dining reservations at a resort instead of a hotel reservation, know that "standard self-parking is complimentary for day Guests while they enjoy select dining, shopping, entertainment, and recreation experiences at Disney Resort hotels." Cast Members will ask for your dining reservation confirmation number (be sure it's
linked to your My Disney Experience account before you arrive) at the resort entrance gate and notify you of any timing restrictions for your visit.
I hope this helps you shift into gear for a magical visit, Edward! If you have additional questions, feel free to race right back and let us know.
Magic and memories,
Amy
