🚘 Parking

Your one daily parking pass is valid for parking at any of the lots at the 4 theme parks. Disney also offers preferred parking, at a higher rate, which gets you a spot that’s closer to each of the park entrances. Otherwise, if you have a long walk from the parking lot, there are also complimentary trams that take guests from the parking lots to the front of all four Disney parks and back again. These trams are an especially welcome sight as you’re leaving the parks after 8 hours of standing and walking! Below are the current parking rates.

Preferred parking: car or motorcycle, $45-$50 per day (seasonally priced)

Standard parking: car or motorcycle, $25 per day

Oversized vehicle parking: shuttle, limo, camper trailer, RV, bus, tractor trailer, $30 per day

If you are staying on-site at a Disney Resort (or if you are an Annual Passholder), that gives you the bonus of having standard theme park parking included in your visit. You can also choose to pay the difference in cost if you want to go for the preferred parking. However, you will have to pay for overnight parking at your Resort. These fees range from $15 to $25 per night.

🚝 Getting around the Resort

Both guests staying on- and off-site can take advantage of all the complimentary modes of transportation available to get around the whopping 25,000+ acres of the Walt Disney World Resort.

By bus (air-conditioned!)

By water (ferryboat or water taxi)

By Monorail

By Skyliner (new gondola system, opened in 2019)

⏰ Park hours

Park hours vary seasonally, so please

check the official Disney World calendar⁠

for more information. If you are staying on-site at a Disney Resort, you have an added perk of being able to access the theme parks 30 minutes before their official opening time. Guests at select Disney Resorts can even stay after official park closing times on certain dates.

🎟️ Admission

Theme park tickets are seasonally priced and start at $109 for one-day admission (tax not included). Generally, the more days you purchase, the less the price-per-day will be. The two different price brackets are ages 10+ and ages 3-9. If you are visiting with children younger than 3, their admissions will be complimentary.

Due to the spread of COVID-19, Disney World now requires ticket-holding guests to make park reservations before their visits, as the theme parks are operating at a reduced capacity.

Ticket upgrades and add-ons

A Park Hopper upgrade allows you to visit more than one park on the same day. You must still make a reservation for the first park you plan to visit. You will be able to visit the next park starting at 2pm, as long as that park is not at peak capacity.

A Water Park and Sports upgrade allows you to visit one park per day, plus a certain number of visits to a water park or other Walt Disney World fun (golfing, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex), depending on which option you choose.

A Park Hopper Plus upgrade is a combination of both of the above; it allows you to visit more than one park on the same day, plus a certain number of visits to a water park or other Walt Disney World fun, depending on which option you choose. You must still make a reservation for the first park you plan to visit. You will be able to visit the next park starting at 2pm, as long as that park is not at peak capacity.

A Memory Maker add-on lets you take advantage of the Disney PhotoPass Service. You will see PhotoPass Cast Members at iconic locations throughout the parks, and they will be able to capture that vacation-perfect photo for you and your party. You can then preview them online and purchase downloads, prints, and personalized photo products.

A Disney Genie+ Service add-on (priced per ticket/guest, per day) lets you use Lightning Lane entrances to save time in line at some of the most popular attractions and experiences at the theme parks. If you have used FastPass at other Disney Parks in the past, the Lightning Lane entrance is the same idea, except it costs extra money now and requires reservations.
