Make a right on Magic Way. Then make a right into the Pixar Pals structure. Pixar Pals is our favorite place to park in the morning for several reasons. We never encounter a line at the booth, and we usually find parking close to the elevators.

Before the security tent reconfiguration, I would've said Toy Story by a mile. Less walking, never have to worry about the lot closing, slightly closer to the 57 freeway where I come from. After the security tent reconfiguration though, gotta go with Mickey and Friends. Can't beat those short security lines.
Our special preferred parking lots are located conveniently close to the theme park entrances. All parking fees include applicable sales tax. Standard theme park parking is included for registered Guests of Disney Resort hotels and select Annual Passholders.
For guests who can only walk short distances, the most convenient parking lots are the main ones at Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney's Animal Kingdom, and Disney's Hollywood Studios. Guests with disabilities can ask the parking attendant to park nearest the courtesy tram pick-up/drop-off point.
Benefits of a preferred parking passBeing close to the park entrance will benefit you if you don't plan to arrive early to the theme park (e.g., you're planning for a midday or afternoon arrival) or if you'll be bringing along many items inside the park.
Fortunately, options exist to reduce the cost of parking at Disneyland with some planning. Visitors can save money by choosing to purchase a parking spot for the day at hotels near the park. Many hotels on Harbor Boulevard don't require a reservation to secure a spot in their lot.
We recommend the parking garages versus the surface lots in most cases. Most locals will only park in the garages, and it's not hard to see why. First, the garages are shaded… a big bonus in the blazing Florida sun.
Preferred parking is located closer to the park entrances than standard parking. Although it is possible to walk, trams do run from the standard parking lots to the park entrances. Sometimes we choose to walk, but often, we take the tram to save our energy for walking around and exploring the theme parks!
Preferred Parking is generally closer to the theme park entrances, and it provides a shorter walk to the park gates as well as a quicker entry at the beginning of your Disney day and exit after your Disney day is complete. Standard Parking is currently priced at $25.00 a day for a car or motorcycle.
Non-alcoholic drinks and waters are totally something you can bring into Disney, it's even encouraged! It is so nice to have a drink on hand whenever you need to quench your thirst. You can bring refillable water bottles and refill them at water stations throughout the parks.
Disney parking lots are well-lit and very safe. However, Disney is clear that they take no responsibility for any theft that occurs. Don't tempt would-be criminals by leaving valuables in plain sight. Stow jewelry, cash, credit cards, and electronics in the glove compartment or under a seat.
I just placed a call to Star Command, and they confirmed you can walk to the Toy Story Parking Area by foot. You will enter the lot from Harbor Boulevard. In fact, I have done the same, when staying at a Good Neighbor hotel nearby, so I could use the parking shuttle to get to the main entrance of the parks.
Effective January 10 2023, Walt Disney World will stop charging guests for overnight parking, and will offer complimentary parking to its hotel guests. Disney currently charges between $15 and $25 per night for parking at its resort hotels.
Because the parking lot for Magic Kingdom is actually about a mile away at the Transportation and Ticket Center, it is usually faster to use Disney's transportation. Guests that drive and park must first hop on the monorail or ferry in order to get to the front gates of Magic Kingdom.
If you drive your own vehicle or a rental car, and you aren't staying at a Disney resort, you'll need to pay $25 per day to leave your car in a Disney lot—up to $50 a day if you want a preferred spot closer to the gates. With the exception of Magic Kingdom, an Uber or Lyft can get you closer for a much lower cost.
