Free parking at Disney?

Hi all.
After driving up from Miami, we are staying in Coronado Springs Resort for 6 nights & have just found its going to cost me $140 for parking at the hotel. We wont be using the car, as we will use Disney transport, until we leave & was wondering if there is a cheaper or free alternative?
I've heard we could possibly park at Disney Springs?
Any help would be great.

The cheaper option is to not have the car while you are in Disney. If you have a car taking up a parking bay you will be charged regardless of whether you use it or not. Leaving the car parked at Disney Springs is not an option.

You can’t park at Disney Springs overnight so not sure that will work.

Why not just save yourself car rental as well as parking fees and drop off the car when you get to Disney?

Drop off at Disney car care. We did a MIA to Coronado drive and dropped the car off. We then did a different hire from there.

The Dolphin for car drop off/pick up is even closer to Coronado (not that it really matters!) but I guess OP will have needed to book the right rental co (Is it Alamo still?)

If you've booked through a UK agent, parking is free at the resorts for onsite guests until 2020, so I would question it at reception if that's the case...

Looking at the OPs countdown it looks like it will be well into 2020 when they do the drive. I must admit it can read that they have already driven up but I suspect not.

If I use my car to go the parks from Coronado Springs, do I have to pay any more to park.
I'm thinking I could use my free $200 Disney vouchers to park, making it sort of free I guess!

No, there will be no parking fees to pay if you use the car to visit the parks. You just get your magic band scanned at the booth and waved through.
