Parking at the parks

[Ponkeo]

Hw much is it to park at each park?
Once you pay for the day, is it good at all parks all day, or do you have to repay everytime you come and go?
Is it cash only to pay to park?

I think it's between $8-10 perday. If you hop parks, there is no additional cost. we only pay cash so I don't know if there are other options.

It is exactly between 8-10 a day! It's 9!

We have only paid cash as well. It is $9 a day. And once you have paid, you are okay to park at any of the parks for the rest of the day, no additional fee.

okay - other than if we need cash, that answers it. but i hear parking at MK is horrible. should we park at epcot or the ticket center and take the monorail to mk everytime. what is your experience?

Parking at the MK is really really bad..... thats because there is no MK parking Parking for MK is at the Transportation and Ticket center.

Anyways the worst parking I have ever seen is the Studios during Super Soap Weekend.... The parking crew got very inventive as to where to park cars

I personally hate MK parking (yes I know it's actually TTC but most parking there are at the MK at some point during that day).

I think it's all up you but, if it's time that's your concern, parking at the TTC is still best. If it's "ease" that is your concern, and not so much about time, then yeah, take the monorail!

I love taking the long monorail ride to close a day out. It's just a nice closing.

Basically what I do is park at whichever park is open latest, because I'll be making sure to end my day there.

Cash only -

I understand why folks say parking is "bad", it is very big and after you take the tram to the TTC you still have to you ride the monorail (or ferry) to MK.

I don't see that it will save any time parking at EPCOT, getting on the monorail and riding to MK???

Leaving at night is crazy at times waiting for a tram, but if you park at EPCOT depending on where you park, you might not want to walk to your car either!

JMHO.

I heard that if you are staying at a dinsey resort parking is free. Is this true?

 

[Sleeping Becca]

Yes parking is free for Disney resort guests.

You get a parking pass as a part of yoaur resort package. For example, last year my mom stayed at Pop and I got a parking pass for my car (even tho I am a local, she coun't stay with me b/c of my cat). I used the parking pass to park in the MK and EPCOT lots w/o a problem.

How did you get your semper fi tag? Was it given to you or did you do it yourself? I would love a tag that says US Navy Hospital Corpsman for life!

This question seems fitting here...

A co-worker is heading down next week. He and his family are staying at OKW, but are arriving at the parks about 8:30 and won't be checking in until lunch-time. So, he'll get the resort free-parking, but won't have the pass yet. How does he handle that at the gate? Resort reimburse him? Attendant use the honor system?

He asked me, but we've never come across this situation before. The one time we did arrive early and hadn't checked in, our APs got us parked.

 

[CrazyforDisney]

from what i have been told your friend can actually go to the hotel and get his tickets and passes and stuff before he actually checks in to the resort.

 

[Kick Save]

They could definitely do that, but I think due to their arrival time, they want to just head to the park and not burn any time checking in until they take their break at lunch.

I always use WDW transportation,but I would think he could could just provide his name and resort reservation number to the attendant and explain that he would be checking in later in the day.
