Hey guys, there have been some changes to Disney Worlds parking that we are going to go over today. There are a variety of parking options throughout Disney World, I have broken them down for you.
Disney World Resort Parking:
Enjoy complimentary self-parking at Disney Resort hotels. Here’s what to know:
- Beginning the evening of January 10, 2023, overnight self-parking is complimentary to Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels at Walt Disney World Resort.
- Standard self-parking is complimentary for day Guests while they enjoy select dining, shopping, entertainment and recreation experiences at Disney Resort hotels.
- Complimentary standard parking is available to Guests staying at The Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort. Each campsite provides parking space for one (1) motorized vehicle.
Valet Parking
Valet service is offered at Disney Deluxe and Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, as well as at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. Upon your arrival, please check with the Security Host for parking options. Valet service is $33 per night (sales tax included).
Guests with Disabilities
Designated parking areas are available throughout Walt Disney World Resort for Guests with disabilities. A valid disability parking permit is required.
Disney Vacation Club Members
Members will not be charged for standard overnight self-parking when staying at a Disney Vacation Club Deluxe Villa or a Disney Resort hotel, regardless of whether they use Vacation Points or another form of payment.
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
For your convenience, a number of ChargePoint charging stations are now available in parking lots at select Disney Resort hotels. Arriving Guests may ask a Cast Member for directions to these charge ports, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Theme Park Parking:
Day guests will pay one fee for a parking pass good all day at all 4 theme parks. Daily parking cost is listed below:
Preferred parking: car or motorcycle – $45-$50 per day.
Standard parking: car or motorcycle – $25 per day.
Oversized Vehicle Parking: Shuttle, Limo, Camper Trailer, RV, Bus or Tractor Trailer – $30 per day.
Standard theme park parking is included for Disney Resort guests and select Annual Pass holders. You may also enjoy preferred parking by paying the difference in cost between standard parking and preferred parking.
For those of you that need a charging station, there are a number of ChargePoint charging stations available in parking lots at all 4 theme parks. You can ask a Cast Member for directions to these charge ports, keep in mind these are on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Magic Kingdom park: 5 spaces—1 space at the front of the Medical Parking Lot and 4 spaces at the front of the Zurg Parking Lot
- EPCOT: 4 spaces at the front of the Journey Parking Lot
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park: 4 spaces in the Medical Parking Lot

- Disney Springs: 13 spaces—3 on the 5th floor of the Orange Garage, 3 on the 5th floor of the Lime Garage, 3 on the 3rd floor of the Grapefruit Garage and 4 in the Watermelon Lot near the Cirque du Soleil theater
To use this service, you will need a credit card or a pre-ordered ChargePoint card—available at chargepoint.com. The cost to charge at these stations is $0.35 per kilowatt hour, with a minimum service amount of $1.50. Charging will stop once the vehicle’s battery is fully charged. ChargePoint will “ping” the owners to alert them when their car is ready.

Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
For your convenience, 4 new Level 3 charging stations have been added in front of Cirque du Soleil in the Watermelon parking lot. These are available at a rate of $0.40 per kwh with a 20-minute grace period. After the grace period, the user will be charged $0.30 per minute until the car is moved.
Valet Parking
Valet parking is also available, at a flat rate of $20 per day (sales tax included).
Please note: Payment will be collected at time of pick-up, and gratuity is not included in the cost.
Parking for Guests with Disabilities
Designated parking areas are available throughout Walt Disney World Resort for Guests with disabilities. A valid disability parking permit is required, and standard parking rates apply.
Theme Park Disability Parking Lots
Guests with mobility disabilities—including those traveling with personal wheelchairs, electric scooters or other mobility devices—should park in our Disability Parking Lots, located a short distance from the main entrance to each of the 4 theme parks at Walt Disney World Resort.
For further directions on parking options, Guests should inquire at the theme park Auto Plaza (there’s an Auto Plaza at the entrance to each Walt Disney World theme park). Or, call Guest Services at (407) 824-2222. Guests under 18 years of age must have parent or guardian permission to call.
Disney World does offer 12 parking areas to choose from, the only bad thing is they are all in the same area and are completely uncovered.
