Increased Parking Fees at Disney World Resorts for 2020

Along with releasing 2020 general public resort prices today, Disney also increased the cost to park at the Walt Disney World Resorts.

18 June 2019 – The change is effective for all reservations made starting today. Reservations booked prior will still be at the old rates.

For reservations made before 18 June 2019 for arrivals in 2019 or 2020:

• Disney Value Resorts: $13 per night
• Disney Moderate Resorts: $19 per night
• Disney Deluxe and Deluxe Villa Resorts: $24 per night

For reservations made 18 June 2019 and thereafter for arrivals in 2020:

• Disney Value Resorts: $15 per night
• Disney Moderate Resorts: $20 per night
• Disney Deluxe and Deluxe Villa Resorts: $25 per night

In a controversial move, Disney started charging for resort parking last year.

Note: Parking fees will be turned on for your room by any of the following:

• Stating that you drove a car at check in
• Arriving at the security boot for your resort in a car
• Using you Magic Band to open the vehicle entry gates for your resort.

If you have one car and several rooms always use a Magic Band for someone staying in the room paying for the parking to enter at the guard booth or automatic gate. When paying for rides (Lyft, Uber, taxi) do not use your magic band for entrance.

Exceptions

Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort. Each campsite provides parking space for 1 vehicle.

DVC Members will not be charged for standard overnight self-parking when staying at a DVC Deluxe Villa, regardless of whether they use vacation points or another form of payment. Members also will not be charged to park when using vacation points to stay at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel. Those renting points from members will not be charged either.

Valet Parking

Valet parking remains at $33 per day at the WDW Resorts.
