Hey there, Brandy. Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question.
I think you'll be happy to know that as a Guest at any
Walt Disney World Resort Hotel, you'll receive complimentary standard parking at any
Walt Disney World Theme Park. When you arrive at
Disney's Hollywood Studios, for instance, the parking attended will need to scan your
MagicBand to verify your reservation and then you'll be on your way. If you wish to upgrade to preferred parking, only then would you need to pay the upgraded difference. My family and I often drive ourselves to the Walt Disney World Theme Parks as well. It's nice to be able to just hop in and go when you are ready. I like to pack a small cooler of bottled water and sodas to leave in the car for a cold beverage after returning to the car. Sometimes the parking lots can be very hot, so it's great to have something waiting for us. If you end up choosing to take the complimentary transportation to the parks, you can actually see the bus schedule on your
My Disney Experience App, so be sure to have that downloaded to your smartphone before your trip.
I hope this helps clear up any confusion. If you have any other questions, please feel free to come back and ask.
