Specific Details
Surveys appeared in March of 2016 indicating that Disney was looking to implement a $15 resort fee. It looks as if they are also considering charging for parking at the resorts as well.
The changes to the parking will require new gates (and relocation of the Magic Kingdom gates) and the reported breakdown would be as follows:
- Less than 30 minutes: Free
- $5 an hour up to a max of $30 a day
- Daily overnight self-parking will be $30 a day
- Valet will be $50 a day
More information on the relocation of the Magic Kingdom parking gates can be found here.
