What is "Diamond" parking?

[DisneyFanatik]

I just got my park passes from AAA (Yay! ) and it came with a "Diamond Parking" - preferred parking voucher. We will probably be using Disney transportation, but if one day we decide to use the car what is Diamond Parking? Is is still free parking since we are resort guests? Do they have handicapped accessible spots in this section? Thanks for any info.

It is a special part of the lot near the front. You still have to pay for parking w/ the pass, but since you're staying onsite, you park for free. The pass just allows you to be a little closer to the front.

I believe the diamond spaces are right next to the handicapped spaces. Which one is closer to the tram/entrance depends on the park. I don't remember park specifics. I'm sure someone else can tell you that.

Diamond parking is next to Handicapped parking, for HC parking you must have your valid HC placard or license plates.
Both are at the front of the parking area and neither have tram service to them.
