Which parks are worth the preferred parking??

[Lindaapple]

Wondering which parks are worth the preferred parking? Thanks!

A very subjective question. To ME, none of them. To others, maybe all of them.

What are your concerns? Do you have people with mobility issues, small children, etc?

None..no chance I'd pay that.

Furthest parking away is at the back of MK but I'd just grab the tram from there.

All the other parks it's really just a short walk wherever you park. We usually just walk from wherever we park to the gate unless we're in the last section and a tram is just pulling up

We will have a 5 and 8 year old (no stroller). Thanks!

Epcot and DHS are so easily walkable pretty much wherever you park and the trams are so easy at MK and AK that I don't see paying $45 to park a little closer. But others may think it's a heck of a deal and do it! They must because they keep offering it!

None whatsoever. Even with kids. If you're too far back to walk, just grab the tram. In fact, I almost see the preferred parking as a negative...you almost have to walk from there. The "regular" parking you can get a tram right to the front gate.

For the price of preferred parking I’d find it more economical to Minnie van it to the parks - would only be $5 more for two Minnie van round trips plus tip OR Uber to TTC. I don’t find preferred parking to be worth it IMO. The tram from the back part of the lots is fun and easy.

I see very little benefit to preferred parking, so I don't bother. If you're a morning person in the parks, you'll be close enough for a very short walk. If you arrive later or end up in a further section than you want to walk from, the trams are pretty constant. I always just hop on the tram and at the front gate in no time.

Another vote for NONE. Maybe if it included valet parking where you could drop your car at the gate and have it returned to you, but otherwise it is a ridiculous price to skip the tram ride, or walk a bit further. Personally, I would like to strangle the person who came up with yet another way to milk extra $ from guests

I agree with what everyone else has said: none of them.

IF you could pay to park at the MK somewhere* then I'd be more apt to consider it. But the TTC makes it all moot. Even still, the pricing for PP is too expensive for it to be worth it to me.

*Say they built parking off to the side where it was out of view. Or if you could just pay to park at the contemporary ... which I suppose you could by scheduling a dining reservation there and bailing... but then down the rabbit hole we go with people who park there and people who have tried and been denied (both results for me) so let's just not bother with discussion about gaming the system/Contemporary.

Never have, never will use preferred.

None of them, to us. Even if we arrive mid-afternoon and have to park near the back of the lot (this happened at AK twice last trip), we just walk.

 

[nerdboyrockstar]

None. Take the tram.
