Parking at a Disney World Theme Park? Prices Have Increased in Late 2025
Prices are going up at Disney World, including one you’ll likely have to pay if you’re visiting from off-site with a car: parking. Of course, if you’re staying at a Disney Resort Hotel, you don’t have to worry about parking. Disney-owned and operated hotels have not charged for parking since January 2023. That same resort hotel benefit is extended to its theme parks. Therefore, if you prefer to drive, as a Disney Resort guest, you can enjoy complimentary parking at all four theme parks rather than taking the transportation mode offered at your resort. Let’s discuss the new parking prices.
Standard Parking Increases
Below, we’ve listed the price increase for standard parking at the theme parks.
| Standard Parking (Previously) | Standard Parking (Current) |
|---|---|
| $30.00 | $35.00 |
Please note, guests of Disney Resort Hotels and select annual passholders receive complimentary self-parking at all four theme parks. If you fall within that category, you can choose to upgrade to preferred parking by paying the difference in the price of standard versus preferred parking. That upgrade is now $15.00 to $25.00 per day.
Preferred Parking Increase
Price ranges for preferred parking have also increased. The chart below details what to expect. Please note that the varying prices below are due to seasonality, meaning prices will vary based on the date of your visit.
| Preferred Parking (Previously) | Preferred Parking (Current) |
|---|---|
| $45.00 | $50.00 |
| $50.00 | $55.00 |
| $55.00 | $60.00 |
Oversized Vehicle Parking Increase
If you’re rolling up to the park in an oversized vehicle (Shuttle, Limo, Camper Trailer, RV, Bus, or Tractor Trailer), you’ll also face a price increase in late 2025.
| Oversized Vehicle Parking (Previously) | Oversized Vehicle Parking (Current) |
|---|---|
| $35.00 | $40.00 |
Final Thoughts
Parking is one of those annoying charges that can add up quickly, especially if you’re staying at an off-site hotel that charges for parking. While we enjoy many off-site hotels, these extra charges are something you’ll want to consider. For example, if you stayed at a hotel that charged $35.00 a day to park, and then had to pay $35.00 a day to park at a theme park, you’re looking at $70.00 extra a day. That, my friends, is an outrageous amount to pay for a short-term piece of asphalt.
