Parking for Disney Cruise

[dynamix_disney]

We are driving in from the Orlando area with our own vehicle, and was wondering what style of parking there is. Is it like parking deck style where you take a ticket from an automated machine, or is there someone at a booth to check you reservation and take your parking fee. Thanks for any help.

I have never parked there, but judging from below, it is an outdoor lot (Disney is Teminal 8) and a booth, seeing as you pay when you enter.

We are staying at the Radison the night before and they offer free parking and a shuttle to the port.

They have a new parking garage for the Disney Cruise line. They were still putting the finishing touches on it when I parked there at the end of last month and parking was free for travel agents but it looks like it is set up for the typical take a ticket pay when you leave arrangement.

I parked there for a different cruise line. It's outdoors, with a booth. You get a ticket and pay on the way out.

Don't panic when you see the line to park! It's very well organized. I was directed to a bay where I dropped off my checked bag, then was directed to the parking lot. Someone I know was behind me, and she went directly to park - we walked to the ship together, as I arrived within a minute of her parking.

The whole procedure, including walking back to the ship, took less than 5 minutes. Boarding was a different story, but perhaps Disney has a better system. :lol:

Yoda has much better info about the parking itself. But my statement that it looks like a madhouse as you drive up, but is quickly sorted out, still stands.
