Hi Denise,
Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for asking a great question about parking at
Walt Disney World Resort, I'm happy to help answer.
Great news! As a guest staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you enjoy complimentary
parking not only at your resort but also at the theme parks. While parking directly at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Disney's Wilderness Lodge isn’t available, you can park at the Magic Kingdom Parking lot located at the Transportation and Ticket Center. From there, you'll first go through Security and then have two fantastic options to reach Magic Kingdom Park: take the
Walt Disney World Water Transportation via a large ferry, or hop on the
Walt Disney World Monorail for a scenic ride to the park entrance.
Walt Disney World Resort hotel Guests receive complimentary standard self-parking at all theme parks and water parks. Guests can choose to upgrade to preferred parking and pay the difference in cost between standard and preferred parking.
If you're driving a personal vehicle, I highly recommend using the
Car Locator feature in the My Disney Experience app. This free tool lets you save your parking details, making it incredibly convenient. At the end of a long day, instead of wandering around searching for your car, you’ll know exactly where it’s parked. To use Car Locator, simply open the My Disney Experience app, tap the “☰” menu, scroll down to “Getting Around,” and select “Car Locator.” Follow the prompts to enter your parking information. When you're ready to head home, just open Car Locator to retrieve your parking details. Trust me, your feet will thank you!
Denise, I hope this information is helpful. If you have any other vacation planning questions, please revisit us at planDisney. We would love to help!
See ya real soon,
Candace
