Here's another "guide" for visitors to Walt Disney World.
A few are well-known, tried and true, but there are new ones that are not that well-known. The writer has an interesting take on which park to go to depending on the weather, and has an interesting advice on where to park to save the parking fees.
When you're shelling out $82 a day for admission, tacking on another $14 for parking can feel like adding insult to injury. I'm proud to say my family hasn't paid for a spot in years. What many out-of-towners don't realize is that the parking lots at Disney water parks, miniature-golf courses and the Downtown Disney entertainment district are absolutely free.
From those locations, shuttle buses will take you wherever you need to go (note that some routes require transfers). Our all-time favorite spot is an unmarked overflow lot across the street from the BoardWalk Inn. Next to a Hess gas station, the lot is almost always half-empty and is a 10-minute walk to the resort.
From there, you can stroll over to Epcot, take a ferry ride to Hollywood Studios, or catch a shuttle bus anywhere else -- all free of charge.
Of course, in most cases, your trip to the parks is a bit longer and more tedious, and may require that you walk quite a distance. One can almost do the same thing with parking in Downtown Disney, and then taking a ride to one of the resorts, or walking over to, say Saratoga Springs and catch the resort buses to the parks (there are no direct park buses from Downtown Disney for this very reason).
Anyway, I suppose now that the cat is out of the bag, I wonder if these parking places are going to be fuller now. :)
