Is it possible to park for free and get to the theme parks in WDW via transportation?

It’s highly frowned upon, and however you were to do it, it’d be a headache. You’d have to park at Springs, take a bus to a resort, and then take a resort bus to a park. You’d have to do the same thing coming back.

Also, Disney springs typically opens later than the parks so rope drop is out.

You could make the bus trip slightly shorter depending on park by being strategic with the resort choice. Contemporary for MK or Boardwalk/Beach Club/Swan/Dolphin for Epcot/Studios. I still think it's a bad idea and the cost savings doesn't outweigh the time spent but just mentioning it.

With the Swan and Dolphin now relying on Mears for buses, which don’t pick up at the Disney bus station at Springs (they’d be at the charter bus area), I’d avoid that.

If the OP decides to use one of these work arounds, they should be prepared for it to take 1.5 hours to get from the free parking to the entrance to the park.

At very least - potentially more.

Not worth it. Roll the daily parking fee into your budget.

Considering the cost to visit WDW the cost of parking is just a rounding error. If you can afford to go you can afford to pay to park, assuming you time is worth something,
