Ticket Price History: Walt Disney World.

While many people may use this tip, we would never recommend it to someone going on a Disney trip, because it is against the rules and could cause issues. Disney could tow your car if you broke this rule, and you can no longer drive to a resort and come in to check it out, you need a dining reservation. Dining reservations have limited parking of up to 3 hours, then the car has to be moved. But, parking at the resorts is reserved for resort guests and guests with dining reservations only.

Why we don’t recommend this: In the past, this may have worked. It’s within walking distance of Magic Kingdom, and you’ll beat out all the traffic. Rather than spend your time there and wait in the long lines exiting the park, just park at the nearby Contemporary Resort. The Hack: It takes a long time to park at the Transportation and Ticket Center, walk/take the tram, and then take the monorail or ferry to Magic Kingdom. *Also, the memory maker is no longer included for passholders, an update since this hack was widely shared*Īdvertisement 3. If you price it out, you would need to spend quite a lot on food, merchandise, and parking to make that up. Tickets would be about half of that for a long trip. An annual pass for out-of-state passholders is currently $1400. But for the average family going to Walt Disney World, this is not a good tip. Why we don’t recommend this: This MAY work for your family, if you are going on a long trip (think 8-10 days), or multiple trips in a year. They’ll get free parking at the parks, discounts on dining and merchandise, and the memory maker included. The Hack: Going on a Disney trip with your family? Have one member of your party get an annual pass. *Onsite guests get free parking at the four parks, but have an overnight fee at the resort*. To save money on parking, use Disney transportation instead and don’t drive to the parks.

This could take almost an hour, between driving, parking, taking two buses, and finally getting to the parks. In order to get to a park from Walt Disney World, you have to take a bus to one of the resorts, then take another bus/form of transportation to get to the park. However, they do not offer direct buses to the parks. Why we don’t recommend this: It is true, Disney Springs does offer free parking in the garages.
