Resort Parking?

[Tbird2281]

We are getting in on the morning of the Friday after Thanksgiving. For multiple reasons we are not visiting a park that day. Everyone that I'm traveling with have never been to a Disney resort and all but 2 of us (party of 8) have actually never even been to Disney. So we were thinking of heading over to a resort that afternoon to walk around before we can check into our off-site condo. Thinking of either Contemporary or Grand Floridian and possibly riding around on the Monorail...a kind of hop on hop off experience for everyone. Question - how difficult is it to park at a resort and do this? Assuming there is a cost...does anyone know what that is? I'm just getting myself all confused looking at Disney's website....Thanks!

On that day, you'll either have to valet park or have a meal reservation to get into those lots. Otherwise, you can park at the transportation and ticket center and jump on the resort monorail. That will cost you $20.

Thank you for that feedback! Do you know how much Valet is?

Yikes, my brain is mush! I can totally figure that out on my own...I see it's $25...thanks!!!

It's $25 plus tip, so a bit more

Why not just park in one of the theme park lots and then take Disney transportation to the resort? The cost to park in the theme park lots is $20 and you don't need to tip.

You may want to consider doing a Disney Springs Day. Go to Disney Springs and explore for a while, then jump on one of the buses to the resorts to explore for a while. Parking is free at Disney Springs.
