    Staying at Ft. Wilderness! Can I park for free at Hollywood Studios on check-in and check-out day if I don’t have a park reservation? Hoping to hit a couple of spots on the boardwalk on my way in and out via the HS boat-gotta get that ft. long mozz stick!

    Hi there, Lesley, and welcome back to planDisney!

    First off, fantastic Resort hotel pick! Fort Wilderness is going to be a fun time. I'm counting the days until my family stays in that area again. It's my pleasure to share what I know about parking at The Most Magical Place on Earth. 

    Here's some great news for you, Lesley: Standard parking at the theme parks is entirely complimentary with a Disney World Resort hotel reservation. Yes, this also includes your check-in and check-out days! Simply scan your MagicBand+ or Disney MagicMobile device at the parking attendant's booth and head into the parking lot (given that the lot is not at capacity). 

    Currently, you are able to board the boat that runs over to the BoardWalk area from Hollywood Studios. I still haven't tried the Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs food options yet, but I've heard that it's delish. And those mozzarella sticks look heavenly!

    AN EXTRA GEM: When you park your vehicle, use the My Disney Experience app's Car Locator feature. It's super convenient to take note of which parking lot section your car is in. One time, I spent nearly an hour looking for my car because I was so eager to get into the parks. Don't be like me (haha) and use this free tool.  

    Lesley, have an amazing stay at Fort Wilderness next month! Please reach out to us here at planDisney if you have additional Disney vacation planning questions. We're always happy to lend a Mickey hand. 

    Magic always,
