Welcome to planDisney, Jane!
When visiting Walt Disney World Resort, you'll notice the various modes of transportation that take Guests from Disney Resorts Collection hotels to theme parks, Disney Springs and more. You may look up and spot the
Disney Skyliner gondolas soaring through the air or perhaps the
Walt Disney World Monorail whizzing by. Many Guests opt to drive a personal vehicle or a rental car to have more flexibility when going quickly from place to place.
Guests visiting the theme parks pay a single
parking fee that covers the entire day and includes in-and-out privileges at all four parks—just be sure to keep your parking receipt! Standard parking is $30 per day, while Preferred parking ranges from $45 to $55 per day, depending on the season (prices are subject to change). If you’re staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, Standard parking is included with your stay. Keep in mind that parking is subject to availability, so, during busy times of the year, you may want to consider leaving your car parked and using Disney transportation for added convenience.
If you’re driving, I highly recommend using the
Car Locator feature in the
My Disney Experience app. This free and easy-to-use tool allows you to save your parking location, so you won’t have to waste time searching for your car at the end of a long day (I say this from experience!). To use Car Locator, open the app, tap the “☰” menu, scroll down to “Getting Around,” and select “Car Locator.” Follow the prompts to save your parking details. When it’s time to head home, open the app to retrieve your car’s location. It’s a small step that can save you a lot of frustration - and your tired feet will thank you!
Jane, I hope this information helps with your planning. Your trip will be here in no time - please visit us again at
planDisney if you have any other questions. We'd love to help!
Enjoy making magical memories,
