Eating @ Goofy's Kitchen and parking

[c&m]

We have reservations at Goofy's Kitchen at 8pm when we go to DL in March. We are planning to drive for our dinner there and park at the Disneyland Hotel. Can someone confirm whether parking is free for the first 3 hours?

Thanks in advance!!!

The parking in the Downtown Disney is free the first 3 hours, and your ticket can be validated for an additional 5 hours. I would assume the Disneyland Hotel Parking is the same.

I would suggest parking in the Downtown Disney parking lot. Your first 3 hours are free there. Then you can get it validated at ESPN when you are leaving for an additional 2 hours. I think that it is more expensive at the hotel. Better be safe then sorry. Have a great time.

I agree. Park at Downtown Disney and take your parking stub to Goofy's Kitchen to have it validated. That will give you a total of 5 hours. I don't think the hotel parking can be validated like Downtown Disney parking. After that, parking is $6/hour, paid in $2/20 minute increments.
