Starting today, guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels will notice an increase in valet parking fees.

The nightly rate for valet parking has risen from $39 to $42 (plus tax), available at Disney Deluxe, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, and Disney's Coronado Springs Resort.

Valet parking at Walt Disney World is now $42 per night

Today's new pricing is the second increase in 2024, which saw a price hike in February to $39 from $33.

Overnight self-parking remains complimentary for guests staying at Disney Resort hotels, a perk re-introduced last year.

Here's a quick overview of the current parking options at Walt Disney World Resort hotels:

Complimentary Self-Parking: Available for overnight guests staying at Disney Resort hotels. Day guests visiting for select dining, shopping, entertainment, and recreation experiences also receive free standard self-parking.

Valet Parking: Available for $42 per night (plus tax) at Disney Deluxe and Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, as well as Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. Valet service provides convenience for guests who prefer not to self-park.

Shareholder value and guest satisfaction are are two completely incompatible things. Even if it works out in the short term, they eventually deviate because guest costs will continue to rise and in order to maintain shareholder value. The things that would improve guest satisfaction significantly all require an increase in operational expense, which is something that stockholders are allergic to (labor, maintenance, etc). If they really wanted to improve the guest experience and lower guest cost, they'd spin experiences off as a private company, but that would never happen for a number of reasons, the most important being its the only thing keeping Disney as a whole in the black.

That happened during the 80s and 90s for a brief period as both universal and disney fought a serious battle that included discounted tickets, coupons, and seasonal specials.

Yes,...Disney has always been raising it's prices to stay in line with their general product demand. However, it's being said that Disney has now gotten "in front" of that demand and is now suppressing that demand. When people love a brand, they WILL often pay more for it...just out of sheer goodwill and admiration for that brand. However, if that brand "love" dies or the goodwill fades, suddenly people will question weather that brand is "worth it" anymore....and they will NOT spend a premium tax for that product is that happens. In short,..Disney CAN charge a high-dollar cost and get away with it "if" people "love" that brand enough to do that. They know it's expensive but their brand love or brand "LOYALTY" persuades them to do it. If that brand loyalty dies?.....what happens then? Exactly,...you guessed it,...that brand is SCREWED.

But they've been doing this since the mid/early 2010's and now the fruits of their genius are ripening. As demonstrated by the situation they're in right now, with being BEHIND their declining attendance, it doesn't work as a long term solution. They mythological high margin guests is an endangered species they're chasing after at the expense of the regular guests who they are driving away in droves.

People are still buying.

When company has product people are no longer buying as they used to they reduce the cost of said product and they streamline their business and improve the product. I guess that business model Disney is exempt from ---declining attendance raise prices across the board on everything attendance declines as a result --raise prices

Adjust for inflation the 2015 and after prices are all the same value.

it's not that wdw has priced us out of a visit, it's that the value isn't there and hasn't been there since pre-covid.

Parks are far more enjoyable than they were in 2019. It’s not even close. It’s not that saying otherwise is invalid, I’d just be blinded from the glare on those rose-colored glasses.
