Think you factored in ALL of the costs when planning your Disney World vacation? Think again, because this keeps catching people (including me) off guard!

Some hotels actually CHARGE for parking, whether you’re only staying for the day or spending the night! YUP! That means you may need to plan for spending an extra $10 to $68 per day, or even per exit! But don’t worry — not every Disney World hotel charges for parking. We’re laying out the full list of hotels that charge for parking, so you’re not surprised by any additional costs on your vacation!

Disney World Resorts:

While day and overnight parking is complimentary to resort guests or guests with valid dining reservations, there is the option to valet at Disney Deluxe and Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, as well as at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. When you arrive, you may check with the Security Host for parking options. The valet service is available for $42 per night plus tax if there is availability.
