Hi Scott! Welcome to planDisney!
I have good news for you! Guests staying at
Disney Resort hotels can self-park at their resort hotel for no additional charge. Additionally, if you decide to drive to a theme park, standard
parking is included. However, should you wish to park in the preferred parking areas at the theme parks, you can do so by paying the price difference between the included standard parking and preferred parking (the cost difference is currently $15 to $25 per day based on the season and subject to change). I typically use the
transportation provided by Walt Disney World as I prefer not to drive while on vacation.
Scott, as you continue to plan your
summer 2024 Walt Disney World vacation, please note that although the dates haven't been announced yet, the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival should be underway. This is a wonderful opportunity to taste some delicious drinks and snacks around the world as you listen to live, entertaining music. The Disney Parks Blog published a
Foodie Guide for the 2023 festival which should give you an idea of some of the goodies you can expect to find at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.
Please let us know if there is anything further we can assist you with as you continue to plan your magical Walt Disney World vacation!
