Parking at Paradise Pier to dine?

[luvdisney999]

Hey guys!

Ok, I know at Disney World they allow you to park at the resorts if you make an ADR to dine there and show the guard the ADR. Does the same rule apply at DL?

We are touring Southern CA one day and would like to pick-up the rental car, go have breakfast at Paradise Pier, and then continue on. Can you do that? Is there any sort of parking fee?

Also, does Downtown Disney still allow you to park there for a few hours if dining at a restaurant (namely Rainforest Cafe). We were thinking about coming back that night and heading to Downtown Disney.

Thanks for the info!

Downtown Disney has 3 hours free. The lots are pretty big. So you could just park there and walk over to the hotel.

Of course, the PPH also offers valet service for those who are dining there.

If eating at a sit down restaurant in any of the DLR hotels, you may park at the hotel for free. Just remember to get your parking ticket validated at the restaurant before you leave.

The table service restaurants at the hotels offer 5 hours of complimentary valet parking with validation.
