Parking changes coming to Walt Disney World

MagicBandsIt seems everywhere you turn there are changes being made at Walt Disney World.  The traditional parking permits that are issued for Walt Disney World Resort hotel guests are soon to be discontinued. Beginning in March 2015 at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, the parking permits will no longer be given at check-in. Guests now are being asked to use their MagicBands for parking access.

Currently at the theme parks, guests use their MagicBands at the toll plaza booth to validate free parking. When returning to the resort hotel, guests can enter the dedicated guest lane and use their MagicBands for access through these gates. Those guests that do not have a MagicBand can use their RFID Key to the World cards instead.

Following the initial introduction of the new system at Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, it is expected that the roll out will continue to the other resorts over the next few months.
