What time of day does Disney stop charging for parking?

Is Disney parking free after 6 p.m. (or 7 p.m. or 5 p.m., etc.)? No, unfortunately. We will say that if you are heading into the lots near closing you will often find the booths closed up or Cast Members will just wave you in, but there is no specific time when parking is “free” so you should always plan to pay.
