Parking at resort

[bryon]

Do DVC members get charged for parking at the resorts now?

No.

DVC members and anyone else staying at a DVC resort based on a points reservation (e.g., renters from a DVC member) are not charged for parking at the DVC resort.

Thanks....I was watching a youtube video and was surprised that the person said one of the changes to Disney recently was you could no longer park for free at resorts when staying there.

If you are a cash guest, then there is a charge.

I believe the overnight rate is $25/night, if you are staying at a Disney Hotel, NOT on DVC points, or with cash as a DVC member. The $120+ a day to get into a park is not enough for MR Paycheck, next will be $$$ to ride the bus.

To add, if you book a non DVC Disney resort using your membership, you will also not be subject to paying the parking fee. However, the systems don't always communicate well so if you see a charge, then just go to the front desk to have it removed.

Also, DVC owners who stay at at DVC resort on cash will also not be charged for parking...

And you may be charged for 12 nights of parking even if you don't have a car!

To summarize the current rule:

1. No one is charged for just parking during the day at a Disney resort, e.g., if going to a resort for a dinner reservation, you will not be charged for parking while there; the fee applies to overnight stays.

2. A DVC member who reserves a room at a DVC resort either for points or cash will not be charged for parking during the stay. The member also will not be charged for parking at a non-DVC Disney resort at WDW if the member uses the membership and points to make the reservation; the member will be charged for overnight parking if the member has a cash reservation at a non-DVC Disney Resort.

3. Any non-DVC member who has a reservation at a DVC resort, which reservation was made by a member using membership points, e.g., such as a DVC member reserving a room for relatives or renting a reservation using his points, does not pay for parking at the resort.

4. As noted in the post above, mistakes can be made at the resort and someone can be charged for overnight parking despite that there should be no charge. Thus, it is best to check any charges made to you at the resort before you check-out to assure you have not been charged for parking, so it can be corrected before you leave.

5. As to actual price of overnight parking, the value resorts are $15 per night, moderates $20, and deluxe (including all DVC resorts) $25, see https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/parking/

Not sure how old the youtube video was that you were watching, but the addition of the parking fee at WDW isn't "new". They started that back in 2018.
