Pay for parking the first day with AP bought online?

[Dawgfan81]

We're staying at RPR for 6 nights June 1 - 6. But are planning on arriving May 31 around lunch and will be driving. I know parking is included in an AP but wasn't sure if it was valid the first day. All I have is the print out of where I purchased our AP's online. If I will be charged for parking, how much is it?

I've been reading that RPR charges $18-$20 a night. I'm guessing the park is roughly the same?

The parking at the parks isn't free until the pass is validated which means you actually have to go through the park gates.

Here's the parking info for you:

Yeah, I know. We'll be parking at RPR the following day. Thanks.

If you are going to park in the regular parking garage without having an active annual pass you have to pay, $17 plus taxes. Everything is in the link damo posted before.

When you go to RPR you will pay $20 plus taxes per night.

If you really want to save the $17, you can drop off the person whose name the annual pass is in (drop off area), then you drive off the grounds and wait until they have their pass, they would have get the pass at the entry gate, then have them come back (drop off area), then you can then go park without the $17 fee.

Some people do that but is all that time and effort worth $17?

Good thought but I'm with Bluer and Mac, not worth my time.

Thanks again for the info, this board is great!
