    If staying at a Disney Good Neighbor Hotel do you get free parking at the parks? Also, if you have hopper passes can you leave your car parked at 1 theme park hop to another and then come back for your car after park hours?

    Hey there, Bonnie!

    I’m so excited to welcome you to planDisney! It looks like you have a springtime trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth coming up…how wonderful! Spring is such a magical season at Walt Disney World, with gardens in full bloom, vibrant colors everywhere, and the parks buzzing with energy. From seasonal treats to special entertainment, it’s truly a Bibbidi Bobbidi BEAUTIFUL time to experience all the magic.

    While each Good Neighbor Hotel offers its own unique perks, one thing they all share is that complimentary theme park parking is not currently included. This means that if you’re planning to drive to the parks and park yourself, a daily parking fee will be required. I know that might not be the news you were hoping for, but don’t worry, there are a few ways to make it work smoothly during your vacation.

    If you have a Park Hopper ticket, you have some flexibility with how you handle your parking. You can leave your car at the first park you visit and use Disney’s complimentary transportation, buses, monorails, water taxis, or the Disney Skyliner, to travel to your next park. Or, if you prefer to drive to the next park, you can do that too. Your parking validation is valid all day, so you’ll only pay the parking fee once no matter how many parks you visit.

    I also wanted to point out that many Good Neighbor Hotels offer transportation to the theme parks. While I recommend checking directly with your hotel for the most accurate details, this can be a more budget-friendly way to get around during your visit.

    Bonnie, I hope this information has been helpful as you plan your trip! During your visit, the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival will be in full swing, and I hope you have the chance to explore all the beautiful gardens and displays. Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney!
