How the Calculator Works
This calculator works for calculating standard parking at Disney World only, as most UK visitors are parking a hire car, rather than an oversized vehicle. The preferred parking option is of course your choice, but the value it offers is not worth the high price tag in our opinion. The amount preferred parking adds to your total parking cost can be found further down.
The calculator works to help you realistically budget your car parking expenses into your holiday cost, so this doesn’t become an overlooked cost and a nasty surprise when you’re staying off-site and planning to visit Disney Parks frequently.

The complete cost of Standard parking for the most popular amount of days UK visitors head to Disney Parks:
Number of Days | Cost (USD / GBP) |

5 | £131.23 ($175.00) |
7 | £183.72 ($245.00) |
10 | £262.46 ($350.00) |
14 | £367.45 ($490.00) |
Remember the parking cost is the same no matter which of Disney’s four theme parks you park at. Preferred parking is often not worth the extra cost, but it does depend on why you’re looking to park closer to the entrance.
