Disney Resort Free Parking

dx4100 · 24 Dec 17, 01:34 AM

We are staying at the Beach Club so we get �free� parking but...

On one of the days of our trip we are having breakfast at the Grand Floridian (8am), followed by a princes make over at the saloon (10am ish) in the Grand Floridian and then we are off to the Royal Table in MK for the princess meal (1pm) then rest of the day at MK until late.

My original plan was to drive from Beach Club to the Grand Floridian and park up for the day and travel home via the Grand Floridian.

As a guest of the beach club would I be able to do this ? or will I only be able to park for a limited time ?

Hi. You will be allowed to park at the GF but not for the day. They will check you have an ADR and you are allowed 3 hours parking. But if other paid for activities take you over that period thats not a problem.
However unless you pay the $25 for Valet parking the car will have to go when you head to the MK later.

Very much like the Beach Club the MK Resorts have real problems with parking and trying to keep spaces for registered guests hence they are tight on this.

What Mr Tom said

Either use Disney transportation from BC for the day or Park ah TTC or valet Park and pay the $25

If you valet Park maybe do it at CR it will be easier to walk back to your car than take the monorail to poly or grand floridian at the end of your MK day

Uber taxi to Grand Floridian from Beach Club possibly another option and then use Disney transport for the rest of the day.

Thanks for the help.

I must say the Disney website is very misleading. It says nothing more than you get free parking throughout the resorts and them parks. Doesn�t say it�s only really your Resort. Glad I asked now. Thanks

nope you cant park all day for free in another hotels car park

you may be best going to the TTC (MK parking) leave the car there all day pop on the monorail to the Grand Floridian and then to the park

also dont leave the car at MK parking all night it may get towed

or

just use disney transport all day set off a bit earlier also if you are the last out of the park no worry they will take you back to your resort
you may have a bus all to your self

Yes they do, I have seen them towing cars from the Contemporary Resort. Rightly so as well.
