Disney’s Yacht Club Room Tour (A Standard Guest Room with a Garden View)

This article previews a standard guest room with a garden or woods view at Disney’s Yacht Club. Since we initially wrote this article, this view category is now considered a resort view.

It’s been far too long since we visited Disney’s Yacht Club. Before starting Resorts Gal, we stayed at this hotel often. We were even guests of the hotel when its nautical rooms debuted a few years ago. They were some of the first rooms at Walt Disney World to offer solid surface flooring.

So when several events in the Epcot Resorts Area coincided, I knew it was time to return for an updated look at the resort. Those events were Disney After Hours at Hollywood Studios and the start of the Epcot International Festival of the Arts.

Since the resort is within walking distance of both parks, it was convenient to stay here. Over the course of a few days, I spent quality time at the resort, attended an After Hours event, and walked back and forth to Epcot for the start of the festival.

Disney’s Yacht Club’s rooms are among my favorite resort rooms in all of Walt Disney World. Unfortunately, if you look closely, you’ll notice they are starting to show the slightest amount of wear and tear. However, that can be expected over time, and these rooms are by no means shabby.

Behind the beds, the feature wall offers a patterned wallpaper. Lamps hang on each side of both beds. Everything in the room has a nautical look.

Most standard rooms at Disney’s Yacht Club sleep up to five guests. This room has two queen beds and a pull-down sleeper sofa for one.

Below is a photo showing how the bed converts. You may remember we saw this same style of convertible bed in our stateroom on the Disney Wish and in the Incredible rooms at the Contemporary .

Even though these beds are smaller than a standard sofa-sleeper, I prefer them. They are much more comfortable.

Our room had plenty of storage space. Here is the dresser with various size drawers and a cabinet in the middle. You might also note there’s plenty of counter space with several charging and USB ports.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll have the extra pillow and blanket out in no time. Of course, if you need more, housekeeping will be happy to bring extra.

On the wall nearest the bed, there are a few convenient touches.

The artwork features a 1971 reference and a Mickey Mouse element.

This attention to detail is one of the reasons I enjoy this room so much. It’s nice for the person on this side of the bed to have a place to put their phone and charge it simultaneously.

Here is the setup on the opposite side of the room.

A nightstand provides a little storage and more charging ports.

It’s always nice to see Mickey.

There’s a desk with a lamp for those of us who have to work while we play.

It doubles as a table on rollers. You can roll the table out and place it in front of the television. When my niece was younger, I would often utilize this feature.

Here is a picture of the artwork placed over the futon-style sofa. It features touches of all things nautical like a knotted rope, a sail, and a boat.

But perhaps, my favorite element of the room is the drapes. These dark, black-out curtains feature constellations. But they aren’t just any constellations. A closer look reveals our favorite characters connected in the stars.

Another positive feature is that the beds are platform-style. They provide plenty of room to store luggage underneath the bed. With that said, I wouldn’t say I like to unpack everything for shorter stays like this one. So a luggage rack would have been appreciated.

We see a split bath that allows multiple guests to get ready at once.

There are two sinks with additional storage underneath the vanity.

My favorite feature is the ledge over the sink area. The ledge above the counter provides plenty of room for guests to place personal items. Also, housekeeping can still clean around the sinks without moving personal items.

There was also a make-up mirror.

We always had a walk-in shower during our previous stays at Disney’s Yacht Club. So I was surprised to see a tub with a shower combination.

However, I appreciated the rain shower and detachable shower head. And there are no complaints about the water pressure or temperature at Disney’s Yacht Club. Don’t you hate staying at a hotel lacking water pressure or when the hot water runs out?

Individual toiletries were available. This is standard at Disney’s Yacht Club and Disney’s Beach Club next door.

Our room’s foyer had a built-in closet and wardrobe area.

Inside the closet, I found plenty of room to hang and store personal items.

A door opens on the far side of the space to reveal an iron, an ironing board, and an in-room safe.

Near the room’s entrance, we see an area designated for food and beverage items. You can store a few snacks on the upper shelves.

Here is the Keurig coffee maker with individual Joffrey’s coffee selections and other accompaniments.

Underneath the counter, there’s a drawer with additional storage space and a beverage cooler. These coolers are designed to chill drinks. They have a warning on the front that they only cool to 41 degrees, so use your best judgment with perishable items.

Lastly, we had a view of a garden area with woods in the distance. When I reserved this room, it said garden or woods view. So I guess we had a little of both.

Most of the rooms at Disney’s Yacht Club offer a full-size balcony with a small table and two chairs.

Here is the view.

Room Tour of Disney’s Yacht Club Guest Rooms

Okay, so I don’t usually recommend upgrading to a higher room category for a view. But at Disney’s Yacht Club, I make an exception.

Below is an older photo of the kind of room views we’ve enjoyed in the past. This was the first time I stayed at Yacht Club, where we didn’t have a water view, and I missed it.

So if you think you would enjoy waking up to this kind of view every morning, you might consider it. However, this kind of upgrade is something we can all consider a luxury.

Of course, I think we can all consider a stay at Disney’s Yacht Club a luxury in itself. That’s probably why I enjoy it so much.

Disney used to have a service where you were able to purchase items in the parks and then have them delivered to your resort’s gift shop. However, that service has been unavailable for several years now.

Although parking at Disney World resort hotels used to cost a nightly fee for resort guests, Disney has changed their policy so that parking is now  free  for all on-site resort guests. This change was implemented on January 10, 2023.

Valet parking is also available for $33 per night.

Complimentary standard self-parking is available for non-resort guests exploring dining, shopping, entertainment, and other experiences during the day.

Ultimate Guide to the Best Rooms at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort

Staying at a Disney World deluxe resort usually comes with beautiful theming, nice rooms, and perks like Extended Evening Hours . One might argue, though, that one of the most beautiful deluxe resorts in Disney World is Disney’s Yacht Club .

This deluxe resort is a popular choice for guests wanting easy access to EPCOT or Hollywood Studios, which are both just a walk or boat ride away, or because of the epic pool, Stormalong Bay, which is almost like its own waterpark. It’s easy to decide why guests stay here, but, which rooms are the best ?

The Yacht Club is a five-story deluxe resort and is themed around the refinement of a New England yachting club. The resort has a soft gray exterior accented by striking red and white striped awnings and the interior is lined with warm woods, nautical instruments, and a giant globe as the lobby centerpiece. The resort faces Crescent Lake, is close neighbors with Beach Club Resort, and has the best resort pool on property. You’ve picked a beautiful resort to spend your Disney vacation, but let’s look at the best rooms!

The Yacht Club rooms are elegant and stately and might be a bit “executive” and bland when compared to some of its counterparts. Keeping with the nautical theme, you’ll find warm woods, navy blue and beige contrasted against crisp white. But one of the favorite elements in the room are the navy curtain which features fictional Disney constellations and a bit of whimsy to this otherwise rather corporate feeling room.

There are 635 guest rooms and 21 suites at the Yacht Club. The rooms are typically 381 square feet and feature two queen-size beds, a daybed, and a desk with chairs. There are some different categories to choose from: Standard View, Garden View, Water View, and Lagoon or Pool View .

For an extra cost, there are also 70 club level or concierge rooms on the fifth floor Regatta Club. Those these rooms are basically the same as standard rooms, they do offer access to additional amenities, including:

• An exclusive check-in area
• A concierge cast members to assist with personal vacation needs
• Nightly turndown service
• Access to a club lounge stocked with complimentary food and beverages

4th Floor Rooms

The top floor is typically reserved for the Club level rooms, but the next best thing without that concierge price tag is the fourth floor. These rooms provide better views (no matter what you’re direction you’re looking), but particularly if you have a Pool View where lower level rooms would just give you views of the back of pool lounge chairs.

Gazebo View

You won’t find “Gazebo View” listed in the options, but rooms ending –48, –50, –52, –54, and –63, as well as odd-numbered room –67 through –97 over look the gazebo which make for a serene view. And you even be in for a show if one of the Disney’s Fairytale Weddings occurs there during your stay (no invitation required!).

Corner Rooms

Rooms that fall on the corner of buildings sometimes come with a little extra elbow room or even an extra window. For that chance to snag not just one views, but two look at these options, rooms ending in: -001, -009, -114, -122, -027, -043,  -065, -155, -163, -164, -201, -209, -210.

If you’re looking to be closer to EPCOT, Stormalong Bay, and the Beach Club, ask for rooms ending in -190 through -241. If you’re looking for rooms closer to the Swan and Dolphin and Hollywood Studios, ask for rooms ending in -001 to -054.

So if you’re looking to book a stay at Disney’s Yacht Club and want the best room available, keep these in mind! You can also always check out our reader reviews of Yacht Club here .

The Disney Yacht Club Rooms

Disclosure: This Disney Yacht Club rooms page contains affiliate links. Read  full Disclosure Policy .

The Disney Yacht Club has a stately atmosphere, fitting with the ships for which it was named. As soon as you enter the lobby, a mix of rich woods and deep color tones has a warm and luxurious vibe. This feeling carries into the rooms, which match the overall character of the resort.

The rooms of the Disney Yacht Club have a simple color palette – dark brown woods, neutral sandy hues, and ocean blue accents. Many of the furnishings also sport gold handles or accentuations that give both a touch of brightness and elegance. In this instance, simple is best, as you have that feeling of a luxury liner rather than something more kitschy. Even the Disney touches are more subdued, adding to the overall adult air of the Yacht Club.

Like the Beach Club , the Disney Yacht Club has a variety of rooms to fit the needs of your party.

However, with the emphasis being more on adults, you may find the rooms fit better for a “grown-up group” rather than a family.

With that in mind, let’s find you the perfect “cabin” for your Disney vacation !

Similar to other Disney resorts , the Disney Yacht Club separates its rooms into two categories – standard and club level.

Within each of these levels are different view options. Both indicate what you will see off your balcony or verandah and determine your location within the resort.

At the Yacht Club the three views are standard, garden or woods, and water.

Standard View

Standard views typically have the “undesirable” lookouts, like a rooftop, sidewalk, or parking lot.

However, if you don’t particularly care about the literal view outside your room, standard view can be awesome.

Standard view rooms, since they see the parking lot, are sometimes close to the parking lot. If you drove your own car, this is a blessing. These rooms also tend to be cheaper because of their view, which is great if you’re trying to save a few dollars!

As someone for whom the view does not matter, I would gladly take the price decrease versus a better view.

Garden & Woods View

Garden or woods view rooms look out over the gorgeous landscapes surrounding the Disney Yacht Club.

These looks vary from the cultivated gardens and flowers to the wooded area on the backside of the resort. If you like a tranquil view in the morning or evening, you might want to consider this option.

A woods view is also likely to be pretty quiet, as it does not look out onto the boardwalk or any of the main thoroughfares.

Water views give you the chance to gaze out over Crescent Lake or provide a good look at the quiet pool areas. Again, if you like to start your morning out on the balcony, a water view can be just the right thing for you.

Enjoy a warm cup of coffee or tea and watch the day start out on the boardwalk. It is peaceful and lovely, and you’re on the right side to appreciate the view without being blasted by the sun.

Even a view of the pool can be nice, although that runs the risk of being a bit louder. However, if you can see the pool, you are closer to the pool, which is a huge bonus.

Again, all the “view category” does is determine what you see and where you are in the resort.

When it comes to the actual components of the room, you need to consider the layout.

Layouts & Amenities

All the standard rooms have the same basic amenities:

• Internet – Free WiFi Service
• Coffee Maker
• Mini-refrigerator
• Telephone with voicemail
• In-Room Safe
• Iron & Ironing Board

While it may not seem like much, that coffee maker and mini-fridge make all the difference. Being able to wake up and make your own coffee in the morning is a lifesaver, especially if you need that caffeine fix to get yourself moving.

With the mini-fridge, you can bring snacks like yogurt and cheese sticks, or even store a small carton of milk for cereal in the morning. My family did this growing up, and it saved us time and money, particularly on park days.

All of the standard rooms at the Disney Yacht Club sleep five adults, which is nice if you’re traveling in a group or for work.

This does also mean that you could sleep a family in these rooms if you would prefer the Yacht Club to the Beach Club .

You can reserve a few different layout combinations:

• Two Queen Beds & One Day Bed
• One Queen Bed, One Twin-Size Sleeper Chair, & One Day Bed
• One King Bed
• One King Bed & One Day Bed

Depending on your party or the purpose of your trip, each layout has its own benefits.

Families would prefer the second option, while a group of three adults might prefer the first to avoid bed sharing.

Couples might like the third option, as it gives you more bed space and opens up the room at the same time.

The final option is nice if you’re traveling with just one child or you’re a couple traveling with another adult.

All of the views have a mix and match of these layouts, so when you’re booking just be sure to pay attention to the selection. If you have any questions or special requests, you can always call (407) 939-5277 and a Cast Member will help you out!

Disney Yacht Club Rooms with Club Level Amenities

Club Level puts you on a private Club-only floor, special amenities, and access to the Regatta Club lounge.

While the room layouts are generally the same, and the view options are also similar to the standard, it’s these bonus perks that you’re paying for the in Club Level price.

Typically, Club Level rooms will cost between $200-$250 more than the standard room of the same view, although prices are subject to change.

At the Club Level, you will have all the same amenities as a standard room with the addition of the following:

• Evening turndown
• Secured key access to the club-level lounge, the Regatta Club, serving refreshments 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily
• Fax assistance
• Newspapers in Club Level lounge
• Health club access

You also check in separately up on the Club Level floor.

While turndown service and newspapers are nice, it’s the access to the Regatta Club that really makes this worth it.

As the food is always stocked, which means you can count on the Regatta Club as another place to get a quick meal.

Breakfast is by far the most popular time, so try to build in time to get your food and find a seat. That is particularly important if you’re going to the parks – don’t take for granted that this will be quick, because others will be thinking the same thing!

Get a look inside the Regatta Club with this video:

Room Layouts & Views

At the Club Level, all of the rooms are going to sleep four adults.

The views also make a difference in this instance, as the various views limit your options as far as the layout.

Standard view, which still looks out over the rooftops or parking lot, is the most limited in terms of options.

For these rooms, you can only get two queen beds or one king bed, with room for a cot or pack n’ play if you have kids.

This is largely because there are less standard view rooms at the Club Level, so it makes sense you would have fewer layout choices.

Garden View

Garden view rooms have that gorgeous landscape outlook that is perfect for nature lovers.

These rooms have three layout options – one king bed, two queen beds, or two queen beds and a day bed.

Particularly the last one would be good for families, as it gives you the ability to spread your kids out among the space. Even if you have three little (or not so little) ones, everyone will have a bed rather than a cot.

Water view rooms look out over Crescent Lake and the boardwalk, providing spectacular views in the morning as the sunrises and in the evening as the lights twinkle across the lake.

This is the most expensive view at the Club Level, partially because of this splendor.

In the water view rooms, your layout choices are one king bed, two queen beds with a day bed, just two queen beds, or one king bed and a day bed.

As you can see, there are plenty of configurations available to fit the need of any party! Even with the extra cost, it might be worth it to get just what you need for your party.

Disney Yacht Club Rooms – Living the Suite Life

One there is only one suite option at the Yacht Club, these two-room suites are gorgeous.

Considered part of the standard level of rooms, they aren’t on the Club Level floor and don’t have those benefits.

However, these suites have plenty of benefits all their own.

Turret Suite

Located in the turrets of the resort, plenty of natural light makes its way into the rooms to give the whole suite an open and airy feeling.

Because of their location, the suites do have a distinctive shape to them, adding to the charm and beauty of the place.

The color scheme of the suite matches the rest of the resort, with the simple nautical color palette and sophisticated air.

Natural wood floors complement the cream and blue furnishings, making you feel comfortable and spoiled all at once. Meanwhile the ship-themed décor is right on point, adding to the overall atmosphere. Again, because of the placement in the turret, the living room has a unique octagonal shape that adds a touch of fun without detracting from the glamour.

In the master bedroom, two guests enjoy the luxury of a king bed and their own ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom has two queen beds and its own bathroom, making this suite ideal for families with kids or two parties travelling together. Located in the hallway, a desk and third bathroom adds function and efficiency to the space.

Explore the suite with this walkthrough:

Captain’s Deck Suite

Opening on a beautiful entry hall with decorative wood flooring, you’ll feel like a guest of the captain in this incredible suite!

The color scheme stays true to the Yacht Club theme, with an increased emphasis on the navy blue tones.

Largest of all the rooms at the Disney Yacht Club, the Captain’s Deck Suite is great for a long, extended family vacation.

A massive living room includes a chess table and large couch, perfect for families settling in for an evening movie. The living room continues with navy as the primary tone, with cream and gold accents warming the space. Connected to the living room is a large dining room, containing a dining table that seats twelve guests!

Off the dining area is a service kitchen, missing only a stovetop and dishwasher. A full sink, refrigerator, microwave, and plenty of cabinet space more than make up for it! You are more than able to make some of your own simple meals with these kitchen amenities, which will save you time and money.

The master bedroom has a luxurious king bed and massive ensuite bathroom, giving you the opportunity to pamper yourself and relax on your vacation. A walk-in closet completes the master suite, so feel free to use the space to unpack. This is also a great place to put your suitcases so that they are out of the way. A guest bedroom with two queen beds is great for additional members of your group, including their own bathroom.

A private outdoor patio completes the space, providing a sheltered place to relax or enjoy a meal outside.

Check out this incredible suite with this video tour:

Admiral’s Suite

Walking into the Admiral’s Suite at the Disney Yacht Club, right away you feel the opulence. Gorgeous wood floors feature an incredible nautical star design, with dark woods and deep blue walls accenting the motif. Bright white walls with molding lighten the room while maintaining a sophisticated air.

Similar to the Captain’s Suite, the Admiral’s Suite has a large living area, complete with huge couch and a desk space. These suites are built for families or bigger groups, and the living room accommodates all your guests. A fireplace adds a nice touch in the living room, and you might want to use it in the cooler months. There’s also an additional living room space, with a cool octagonal shape similar to the Turret Suites.

In the dining room, a table has space for five, although you could add a high chair or squeeze in other chairs if needed. A small kitchenette with sink connects to the dining room, which helps to prepare simple meals or divide ordered-in food. Even getting a pizza and eating in the suite will save you money, and it gives you a chance to enjoy the suite! A half-bath completes the communal spaces.

Like the other suites, the Admiral Suite has a master bedroom with ensuite bath, while the second bedroom has two queen beds and its own bathroom. Having this much space is great when you’re travelling with multiple families and kids, it makes it so much easier to get going in the morning!

Yacht Club Garden View best rooms

Any suggestions for 3 garden view room numbers near each other that you loved?

We like first floor- ultra convenient.

Have you perused the room views?

Don’t have suggestions but welcome to the forum!

I use the room finder TP offers to pick my rooms. I’m doing water view next weekend with my Hotwire deal but it’s my first time staying on the yacht club side so I can’t help out personally but check out the TP views.

Room 2079 is listed as garden view but to me it was a water view!

Yacht Club - Garden View vs Standard View?

• Thread starter TiggerTrigger
• Start date Jul 29, 2012

TiggerTrigger

A.k.a. houcusechickie.

• Jul 29, 2012

We're currently booked in a garden view room. I have no intentions of upgrading any mroe, but I'm wondering if garden view is really worth it? I was looking on Allears and they had views from several of the standard view rooms, both of which looked decent and afforded views of Illuminations. I know not every standard view room is going to have such a nice view, but it got me wondering if any garden view rooms also have the potential for Illuminations viewing and if the views in general were really anything special. It's not a huge price difference, but I'm just debating about downgrading to a standard view. Any thoughts?  

DIS Veteran

Here are some great maps of room locations: http://www.disneyzone.net/ycresort.htm  

I'd keep Garden View. As you say, it's not a big price difference, and worth it to me not to have a view of a roof.

"just keep swimming, swimming, swimming".

Our garden view room overlooked the wedding pavillion, which was nice. It was also pretty private and quiet, and had a water view.  

• Jul 30, 2012

I could see the lake, and the Boardwalk from my balcony, and the Epcot fireworks, so GV room was very worth it for us too.

How Much Does it Cost to Park at Disney World? The Answer Will Surprise You!

B efore you make your way out to Walt Disney World, it’s important to know what to budget for when it comes to parking. You’re mostly likely asking yourself how much does it cost to park at Disney World?

And yeah, the parking prices can be absolutely ridiculous at any of the Florida theme parks.

You may also want to know if parking is free at Disney World?

It’s not, but later in this guide I will give you tips on how to park at Disney for free.

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS. PLEASE READ MY  DISCLOSURE  FOR MORE INFO.  Which means if you click on certain links, I may receive a small commission at no additional charge to you.

Disney World Parking Tips at a Glance: 

• Disney Parks give you three different options for parking fees  
• Most theme park guests choose standard parking at $30 per day 
• Registered guests of Disney Resort Hotels can enjoy FREE standard self-parking  
• One of the perks of being an Annual Passholder, Premium Passholder, or Disney Premier Passport holder is complimentary standard parking at the Disney theme parks
• Disney’s Water Parks and Disney Springs has complimentary standard self-parking  
• There IS FREE bus transportation from Disney Resort hotels to Disney Springs

Keep reading this full guide to find out all you need to know about the cost to park at Disney World and for more Disney parking tips. 

Cost to Park at Disney World

The cost for parking at Disney World recently increased which makes it a budget item that you need to pay attention to when saving for your trip.

Since I’m an Annual Passholder, I sometimes forget just how painful it can be adding parking to your Disney fees.

The rates to park at Disney World are always changing so, let’s go through a breakdown of what it currently costs for parking at Disney World .

ORDER NOW to secure your Walt Disney World theme park ticket! GET MY TICKETS.

Walt Disney World Parking Fees at the Theme Parks

One parking pass is good all day at all 4 theme parks:

• Magic Kingdom Theme Park
• Disney’s Hollywood Studios
• Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park

How Much Does it Cost to Park at Disney World?

When you approach the theme park gates at Disney, you’ll notice three different options for parking fees.

1. Standard Parking: Car or Motorcycle – $30 per day 

Standard parking at the Disney Parks may require you to be parked a little ways back from the gate.

Don’t worry, there are trams that can take you to the front area of the park at no additional fee.

Hipster Power Tip: Remember that the Magic Kingdom is the busiest theme park in the world so be sure to get there an hour and a half before to the gates open.

This may seem radical, but if you’re parking you have to take into consideration:

• Finding a  parking space.
• Getting on the  tram to the transportation ticket center.
• Taking the monorail or boat over to the Magic Kingdom gates.  There can be a very long line to get on the monorail or the boat.
• Getting through the ticket turnstiles. This may take a while due to new security safety measures of  having your bags checked.

2. Preferred Parking: Car or Motorcycle – $45 per day during non-peak seasons; $50 per day during peak seasons 

This area is located the closest to the park front gates. Disney Cast Members will also give you a bottle of water when you choose this option.

Keep in mind that the prices for Preferred Parking do vary based on the season that you visit.

3. Oversized Vehicle Parking: Shuttle, Limo, Camper Trailer, RV, Bus or Tractor Trailer – $35 per day

This is a Disney parking fee that you will pay if you plan on parking one of these vehicles on property.

Can you leave Disney parking lot and come back?

You absolutely can!

When you pay for one parking pass, it’s good for the rest of the day at any of the four Walt Disney World Theme Parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom).

So, enjoy your park hopping adventure at Disney without paying extra to park.

Do Disney resort guests pay for parking?

According to  Disney , registered guests of Disney Resort Hotels, select Annual Passholders, Premium Passholders and Disney Premier Passport holders will have free standard self-parking at Disney Theme Parks.

They also go on to say that you can choose Preferred Parking by paying the difference in cost between the standard parking and preferred parking fee.

This comes out to about a $20-$25 difference if you go with this option.

You more about the Disney Resort hotel parking fees here.

How much does it cost to park at Disney Water Parks?

Standard parking at Disney’s Water Parks is free! These parks include:

• Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon
• Blizzard Beach

How much does it cost to park at Disney Springs?

Standard self-parking is free at Disney Springs.

There are 3 parking garages and an additional 4 charging stations that are new on Level 3.

They are located in the Watermelon parking lot, and you can find them in front of Cirque du Soleil. 

Disney Springs Parking Garages:

• Lime Garage is closer to the offsite hotels in Disney Springs and is located near the LEGO Store, World of Disney, and the BOATHOUSE
• Orange Garage is located near AMC Theater, the Coca-Cola Store, and Planet Hollywood
• Grapefruit Garage is the newest garage that is located across the street from the Lime Garage and has a pedestrian bridge to cross the street over to Disney Springs

There are additional regular parking lots around Disney Springs which are:

Payment is usually collected when you pick up your car. Please keep in mind that gratuites are typically accepted.

Hipster Power Tip: If you have a special event, dining reservation, or concert that you need to be at, then you’ll want to arrive at Disney Springs an hour in advance to park and get situated.

What time can you park at Disney Springs?

You can start parking in the Disney Springs garages at 9 a.m. each day.

I do recommend checking the time before you go just to make sure it hasn’t changed.

How much does it cost to park at ESPN Wide World of Sports?

Standard self-parking is free at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports complex.

Can I park for free at Disney World?

You may be wondering if you can park at Disney Springs and go to the parks?

It’s definitely possible if you know how to do it the right way. Even with the high cost to park at Disney World, you can find ways to park for free at Disney which we will go into detail down below.

According to Disney , all Guests have complimentary acces s to their network of monorails, buses and boats.

How To Avoid Parking Fees At Disney World

As you can see from Disney’s official quote, you can use free parking at Disney Springs as a way to see the other resorts throughout Walt Disney World or visit multiple parks.

Now that you know this, it’s important to note that the Disney Springs buses do not go straight to the parks. However, they do run between Disney Springs and Disney Resort hotels.

They start running 45 minutes before Disney Springs opens and stop one hour after closing. 

Once you have parked at one of the garages at Disney Springs, head over to the bus station.

You’ll then figure out which resort you need to be dropped off at based on your theme park choice for that day.

Disney World Transportation to the Parks from Disney Springs

Let’s go over how to get to the theme parks from Disney Springs.

Disney Springs to Magic Kingdom

You will need to take a bus to the to one of the Magic Kingdom resorts: Polynesian Resort, Contemporary Resort, or the Grand Floridian Resort.

The Contemporary Resort is the best place to be dropped off.

Here you can take a 10-minute walk over to the Magic Kingdom or hop on the monorail.

Disney Springs to Epcot 

You will need to take a bus to one of the Epcot Resorts: The Boardwalk or the Yacht and Beach Club.

Once you arrive at one of the resorts you can take the boat or walk over to the back entrance of Epcot.

Disney Springs to Hollywood Studios 

You will need to take a bus to one of the Epcot Resorts: The Boardwalk, Swan and Dolphin Resort, or the Yacht and Beach Club.

Once you arrive at one of the resorts you can take the boat or walk over to the park entrance.

Disney Springs to Animal Kingdom 

You will need to hop on a bus to the Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Once there, you can take a bus to Animal Kingdom theme park.

Can you park overnight at Disney Springs?

It is not recommended for you to park overnight at Disney Springs. Doing so may result in your vehicle being towed, which is the worst way to experience a Disney vacation.

Disney Springs is open Sunday to Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. 

Pros and Cons of Parking for Free at Disney World

The main benefit of parking at Disney Springs is the free cost. However, what you don’t pay with money you will pay with your time.

Parking at Disney Springs and taking the bus over to resorts to board another form of transportation can take away at least 2 hours from your day. Plus, Disney Springs usually doesn’t open until 9 a.m. which is too late for you to start your theme park day.

If you’re a frequent reader of this blog, then you know that one of my top tips for Disney is to get there early!

Parking this way will not do that for you.

Although Disney doesn’t offer any parking discounts and the thought of paying the $30 is tough to swallow, it will make your day much easier.

Is Preferred Parking worth it?

Preferred Parking at the Disney theme parks is not worth it. If you arrive early, you’ll be able to get a decent parking space.

Plus, Disney will always have a tram to come by your parking lot row to take you directly to the front of the gates.

Final Thoughts on the Cost of Parking at Disney

I understand that the cost to park at Disney World can be quite expensive. Especially, if you plan on being there for a few days .

Planning a 3-day visit to Disney World can put your parking budget around $90 for just those few days!

I hope I was able to help you decide which parking method to use for your next trip. If you want to learn more about saving for Walt Disney World, then read this epic guide!
