Parking for Check-In

[ontario2orlando]

We'll be arriving by car. The day we check-in we'll be arriving very early at the resort (all star movies). We'll check in and get our park tickets and start our Disney experience. One question we've not been able to answer.

Where do we park when we get to the resort for check=in? Do we just go to the main parking lot?
We don't want to run into difficulty for parking somewhere improperly.

There will be a guard booth you have to pass through. Tell them you are checking in. They will probably ask to see ID. They will direct you where to turn in for your resort. There are spaces in the main parking lots for those checking in. When you check in they will give you a parking pass which will allow you to park anywhere there is self parking on property without paying any parking fees including each park. Just keep it on your dashboard.

Great info, thanks for the response.

We drove down this past October and the guy at the booth just wanted to see my ID and reservation number. I never did get a parking pass from the hotel, though. In fact, I didn't even know I should have gotten one until about the last day we were there because I kept seeing them in other people's cars. So I would make sure to ask for one at check-in. I hope you have a fun trip!

We drive every year. When you check in, they will tell you what building you are in if your room is not ready ~ they will not tell you your room number but they will tell you the general area so you park near your room. That way you can put the car in park and jump right on a bus and start having fun!! Usually they tell you to call the front desk at 3pm and then they tell you which room. The keys are already activated so you can just go to your room.

This really helps, because we'd rather not spend too much time driving around "wondering" where to park.

When you check in, you should be asked if you need a parking pass (don't know why the other poster wasn't asked). Be sure to check your resort map. Sometimes the parking lot for the building isn't the closest one. You can park anywhere, not just in your building's "designated" parking lot.

At all star movies I am fairly certain you have a temporary area to park in while you check-in. If you have been driving from Ontario make sure to take the whole family into to check-in. It is the start of the fun and they play movies in the lobby while you are waiting if there are kids with you this is great. Then you will see after you check where is best to park your car for room location. Hope you have a good drive from here in chilly Ontario.
