WDW Parking lots and hopper transportation??

[JENA_le]

When we visit WDW, we plan on staying off property and will have our own vehicle for transportation. So we plan on driving to the park and using the WDW parking lots.

Assuming you get some sort of 'ticket/voucher' when you pay to park.... If we park in one lot during the morning and decided to go to another park in the afternoon... are we allowed to use the same 'ticket/voucher' in the other lot?
OR
If we park in one lot in the morning would we be able to use WDW transportation (i.e. the boats, monorail, buses) for free, to transfer in between parks?

You only pay once per day to park (you just show your ticket at the next park), and you can use any of the WDW transportation(busses, trams, boats, monorails) to get around the area.

To supplement the previous answer, while yes you can use Disney transport and only park once, one of the major advantages to having a car is to get around more quickly than waiting for the buses, etc. so we always take our car from park to park (and yes you only pay once). The only exception to this might be travelling between Epcot and MK by monorail.

You're also going to want to make sure you park in a lot of a park that has later hours if you do plan on hopping. While buses will run for a couple of hours after a parks closing, there isn't a guarantee that you will easily get there. So best bet is to not park your car at AK if you are heading there and then plan to close Epcot or the MK.

Thank you and thank you. Both very good things to know in my planning.
