Parking At Disney Florida

[puzzled54]

Is there such a thing as a weekly/2 weekly parking pass for visiting the theme parks? $14 a day seems such a lot to pay on top of the tickets.
Thanks

>>>$14 a day seems such a lot to pay on top of the tickets.

That's Disney for you, charge as much as they can get away with.

Same as the food and drink in the park, you are a captive audience so have to pay what they charge.

They have the nice Disney characters making them seem a friendly family company but they are ruthless.

To give you an idea of how much money they have, when Jeffrey Katzenburg left the company (he had made Lion King and other films) he was given a 250 MILLION dollar pay off.

We all helped to pay for that.

Anyway sorry for not answering your question, that is just my little moan.

Always good to have a little moan!

I don't think there is a weekly pass. Parking is included if you stay at the resort or have an annual pass. a there are shuttle buses that can get you around as well that might be worth looking into?

Surely you don't want to go every day though? There are plenty of other places to go and things to see in Florida other than Disney.

I wouldnt want to go there for a full 14 days.! As far as I know there isnt a weekly pass......we went on october. So you will either have to go by bus.....can be a nightmare getting out of there and on a bus at the end of the day though. Or pay for parking. We go for a whole day.......from when they open to close. After doing that you would not want to do it again for a few days. And could most likely do everything you want to in that day or two.

It seems that it's definitely just a daily rate (unless you're staying at the resorts or you've got an annual pass to them). However you can move between the parks on the same day and only pay one $14 fee:

As you are probably aware a hire car is a must if you are going to get around with ease .
The disney Resort alone is vast - the size of Manchester and the individual parks are spread around the resort , so they have got you by the long and curlys .

That's just Disney - as you are aware there are loads of other - Universal Studios etc etc

Depending on where you are staying , there are usually shuttle buses to the resorts from hotels , but we found that a hire car was the best option , for flexibility and convenience .

As for lilacben's comment below -

Dont you beleive it - you'll need a lot more than a day or two to do the Disney experience justice ( unless your are only interested in a couple of the parks )

i would not want to work for the disney organisation .... bloody mickey mouse outfit

If you're going to the parks every day for two weeks it might be worth getting an annual pass as they come with parking included. That's what I was told when i booked and had a similar dilemma! Wanderforth (www.wanderforth.com) were really helpful!

Thanks, I had been thinking about that, will check out that website. I have been before and done the 'park open to park close' days, but will have small children and may find half days easier.

I've just found out that from 1st January 2013 Florida brought in a new law which requires any drivers having a driving licence issued outside of the US to also have an International Driving Permit. If you do not have one a law enforcement office can put you straight in jail or can make you attend court.
