Parking at parks

[disneykins]

We are planning on being in Florida for the whole month of Feb. 2020. We are DVC owners and have APs that expire Mar. 2, 2020. We want to stay offsite and visit the parks 3 or 4 times a week so we don't need the early openings or rope drops, we'll just FP 3 rides and then enjoy the parks and do the shorter line rides. We spent 2 weeks at OKW in March this year and did the commando thing, rope drop, early opens, FPs and were exhausted lol. We found the parks very crowded at all times and some of the lines insane. We had FPs for FoP at 9am and when we got off the wait time was 4hours and the line went to the bridge to Africa! We are mid 60s, so slowing down a bit, maybe we'll slow down and enjoy the parks more without having to do all the rides.
Questions: Do we get free parking at the parks? Can we park for free at resorts and go for a meal? How soon would we be able to make our FPs?
Thanks,
Tony

As an AP holder you get free parking at the parks, whether you're staying on-site or not.
Resort parking for a meal is allowed.
You would be able to book FP at 30 days if you are not staying on-site.

Also, parking at a resort for a meal is free and normally restricted to maximum of 3 hours.

You are limited to 7 days worth of fast passes offsite though if you are an AP. You can get more as you go along, but you can't book 15 or 16 days of fastpassee 30 days out.
