Free parking on day of arrival??

[RTownsend]

We will be driving straight from the airport to Magic Kingdom, and checking into POFQ later in teh evening...sice free parking is a resort perk, but I will not have checked in yet, does anyone know if there is a way to still get free parking?

Anyone been in this situation before?

Thanks!

If you purchase an AP you can go to Guest Services, in any park, and they'll refund you parking fee.

I suspect you can do the same thing. Go to guest services the next day and tell them you didn't realize you got free parking as a resort guest and see if they'll refund your parking charge.

I'd check into my resort first. I wouldn't want to leave my luggage in my car all day. Particularly if it all doesn't fit in the trunk.

Why not go ahead and check in? Even if your room isn't ready, they will go ahead and take your vitals and give you a parking pass.

That's what I plan on doing when I go in May.

Just show them the confirmation for your resort. It will have the dates on them and they will let you in. We have done this before and no problems.

Good luck.

We've also gone straight to MK when we arrive and have shown them our hotel confirmation letter from Disney and not been charged. I know if you're staying at one of the deluxe resorts the guard at the gate will give you a parking pass. You can swing through and grab that and quickly turn around and head for MK.

Hey, this is my 1000 post!!!!
