Disney World Parking Secrets

Parking a car at Disney can be challenging and  expensive. Here are 5 parking secrets and tips to help you!

1

If you are staying at a Disney hotel you will not have to pay for parking at your resort! Plus, Disney resorts offer free transportation to the theme parks and other hotels.

If you are not staying at a Disney resort there is a charge to park at EPCOT, Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. You only have to pay once per day so hang onto your receipt if you leave.

If you are staying off site and make breakfast reservations at a Disney Resort you will have free parking at that resort. You can then zip on over to the parks!

We highly recommend being parked at least 30 minutes prior to park opening for EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios. When going to Magic Kingdom, arrive 60 minutes early.

You can park at Disney Springs or the Disney Water Parks... but we don't recommend this! There is no direct Disney transportation and will take you a long time to get to the parks. It's not worth the $40 savings to us.
