What happens if you leave your car overnight at Disney Springs?

The great news is self-parking is always complimentary at Disney Springs and while hours are subject to change, generally the garages are open until 2am EST. Overnight parking is not permitted and vehicles left overnight will be towed.



Leaving your car overnight at Disney Springs is generally prohibited, as the parking garages (Orange, Lime, and Grapefruit) and surface lots are intended for day guests only. Disney Security typically monitors the lots after the final venues close (usually around 1:00 AM or 2:00 AM). If a vehicle is left overnight without prior authorization, it may be ticketed or towed at the owner's expense. If you find yourself unable to drive (for example, after enjoying drinks at a lounge), it is highly recommended to speak with a Security Cast Member or a manager at a nearby Disney hotel to explain the situation. In some cases, they may allow you to leave the car temporarily if you arrange for a ride-share home, but as of 2026, there is no "official" overnight parking program for non-resort guests at Disney Springs.

Is Disney parking free after 6 p.m. (or 7 p.m. or 5 p.m., etc.)? No, unfortunately.
