Can I leave and repark at Disneyland?

When you park at one of the Disneyland Resort parking structures/lots, you can certainly leave and return throughout the day and only pay once. Simply keep your parking receipt ticket so you can show it to the lot attendant when you return later in the day.



Yes, you can leave the parking lot and repark at Disneyland on the same day without paying the parking fee again. When you first enter the Mickey & Friends, Pixar Pals, or Toy Story parking areas, you pay the daily rate (currently $35 for standard cars in 2026) and receive a paper or digital receipt. If you need to leave—for a nap, a meal, or to check into your hotel—simply keep that receipt and show it to the attendant when you return; they will scan it and allow you back in for free. However, a major "pro-tip" for 2026: re-parking does not guarantee you a spot in the same lot or even a spot at all during peak capacity days like Christmas or New Year's Eve. If the lots are "Full," you may be redirected to a different overflow lot further away. If you have "Preferred Parking," your receipt also allows you to return to the preferred section, provided there is space. Most guests find it easier to use the "Toy Story" lot if they plan on leaving and returning, as the bus shuttle system is often faster and less congested during the mid-day "check-out/check-in" rush.
