Do you have to pay for parking when park hopping?

If I Park Hop, do I have to pay for parking more than once? No. You only have to pay for theme park parking once per day, no matter how many parks you visit. And remember, if you're staying at a WDW resort hotel or if you have an annual pass, parking at the theme parks is free.



No, you do not have to pay for parking twice when park hopping at Walt Disney World. Once you pay for a standard parking pass at any of the four theme park auto plazas (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, or Animal Kingdom), that pass is valid for the entire day across all Disney-operated theme park lots. You simply need to keep your receipt and show it to the cast member at the next park's parking booth for re-entry. In 2026, this policy continues to save guests $30 or more per day. Furthermore, if you are a Disney Resort hotel guest or a select tier of Annual Passholder, standard theme park parking is complimentary, so you won't pay at the first park or any subsequent ones. If you choose to upgrade to Preferred Parking at your first park, you can also use that at the second park; however, if the second park's preferred lot is full, you may be directed to a standard spot without a refund. It is a seamless process designed to encourage guests to utilize their Park Hopper benefits and experience multiple areas of the resort in a single day.
