The parking at the parks is always complimentary if staying onsite at a Disney hotel & up until the turn of the year the Disney hotel parking fee’s were free for uk guests. They changed this from the beginning of 2020 so that all guests staying onsite would now have to pay for parking per night at Disney hotels ( with free parking at Disney parks ). This was clearly stated on all Disney websites from about 6 months ago.
The official site also included the wording. Disabled parking would be complimentary for guests with disabilities, effectively meaning no charge at Disney hotel and complimentary parking at the parks as staying onsite. Late December they change the bottom line of the text on the web page from. : Disabled parking would be complimentary for guests with disabilities to Designated parking areas are available throughout Walt Disney World Resort for guests with disabilities. A valid disability parking permit is required. |

I think there is some confusion here - the OP and I were not talking about parking at the Disney parks, which is free if you are staying on property. We are talking about the new "resort parking fee", whereby if you take a car when staying in a Disney hotel, up to last year it was free for everyone. Then Disney introduced a nightly fee for cars at their resorts, except for UK residents who didn't get charged until 2020; however, at the time, they said that disabled parking at the resorts was free if you had a valid parking pass - now the wording has changed to say that disabled parking spots are available at all resorts, but it doesn't say whether or not you will be charged for resort parking, which is what we were trying to establish.

In our Theme Parks, Guests with the ability to walk short distances and step onto courtesy trams should park in the main parking lots of Magic Kingdom park, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park. If necessary, Guests may ask for a space at the end of a row closest to the courtesy tram pick-up/drop-off location. Courtesy trams will then transport Guests to each theme park’s Main Entrance.
That's interesting - we were always told in the past that this was not possible so to park in the blue badge spaces which at MK in particular was a nightmare.

Meep! They seem to say in one sentence, "standard rates apply", but in the next sentence, "guests are not being charged at present" - I wonder if this is while they sort out some logistics or other, or whether it will depend on which CM you get at your resort as to whether they charge us or not!
I'm still confused.

looks like the valet parking at deluxe resorts is still free for guest with disabilities, so you would have thought self parking would be ? but who knows !

I wondered if the 'free valet parking' meant that you were still charged the overnight parking fee, but then don't have to pay any EXTRA for the valet parking?
