Visiting Disney hotels without an ADR

[Grace2007]

We are staying offsite and my daughter has been watching Tim tracker doing beaded activities at animal kingdom lodge. It’s free activities and can take a few hours - does anyone know if I will be able to access the car park without having an ADR? Thanks

Generally yes but does depend on how busy they are, you should in theory be allowed to park for 3 hours

Yes you can come and have a look around any Disney hotel but I think you can only park for so many hours not sure how long think its 3 hours, better off getting Disney transport to the hotels from one of the parks. The Bead collecting activities go on throughout the day so you had better get the times before going or you could be there the entire day!

I think it’s the monorail resorts that they are more strict about as car parks get fuller. Personally I’ve never had an issue to just be visiting to look round the resort with no ADR.
If it was an issue then you could always park at springs and then use the bus to the resort. Obviously takes a bit longer but an option for you.
You’ll need photo ID when you enter, so have your driving license or passport to hand.
We love visiting the resorts...our favourites are Art of Animation, Animal kingdom, Boardwalk and Polynesian!

We are staying at the grand floridian at the moment - so a monorail Resort.

There is a sign on the security gate saying access to parking for guests only or those with a confirmed dining reservation.

Last year we spent a day touring resorts, we were offsite and never had an issue in any hotel, they just asked for id and wished us a great day!
