From your car to Hollywood Studios.
Park outside the main entrance, then walk or take the courtesy tram toward security. The Skyliner and Friendship boats serve other arrivals, but neither is part of the trip from your car.
The main entrance
Follow signs for Disney's Hollywood Studios parking. Cast Members direct you to a parking row, and the tram or marked walkways lead toward the main entrance and security.
20 to 30 min
Our planning allowance from your parked car to the entrance. Allow extra time for security, busy mornings and your group's walking pace.
Tram or walk
The courtesy parking tram is included with standard parking. Fold strollers before boarding and keep your group together.
A little planning.

$35 × 1 day · one vehicle
One payment covers the four theme parks on the same day. Count parking days, not the number of parks you visit.
Know before you pull in.
The right parking entrance
Follow signs for Disney's Hollywood Studios parking. Cast Members direct you to a parking row, and the tram or marked walkways lead toward the main entrance and security.
Is preferred worth the upgrade?
Preferred parking reduces the walk from your car. It does not provide priority admission or a shorter security queue. If everyone is comfortable using the tram, keep the extra $15 to $25 for your day inside.
Parking lot opening
Opening times depend on that day's operations and Early Entry. Check the park hours and confirm with Disney if you have a breakfast or other early reservation. Avoid relying on a fixed daily opening time.
Who parks for free
Registered guests of eligible Disney Resort hotels and eligible Annual Passholders receive standard theme park parking included. Preferred is a $15 to $25 upgrade. Hotel day-guest parking is for an approved visit at that hotel, not a substitute for theme park parking.
Accessible parking and EVs
A valid disability parking permit gives access to designated spaces. Standard charges still apply unless you have an included parking benefit. EV charging is available on a first-come basis with a separate charging fee. Ask a Cast Member for directions at the parking entrance.
The way back
After Fantasmic! or park closing, follow the signs for parking and trams. The Skyliner line and boat dock lead to hotels and EPCOT, not to the car parking rows.
Hollywood Studios parking questions.
How much does Hollywood Studios parking cost?
Standard parking at Hollywood Studios is $35 per day. Preferred parking is $50 to $60, varying by date, and oversized vehicles cost $40. Tax is included. Eligible Disney Resort hotel guests and Annual Passholders receive standard parking included.
How long does it take to get from parking to Hollywood Studios?
We suggest allowing 20 to 30 minutes from your parked car to the entrance. This is a planning allowance, not a guaranteed journey time. Park outside the main entrance, then walk or take the courtesy tram toward security. The Skyliner and Friendship boats serve other arrivals, but neither is part of the trip from your car.
Is preferred parking at Hollywood Studios worth it?
Preferred parking reduces the walk from your car. It does not provide priority admission or a shorter security queue. If everyone is comfortable using the tram, keep the extra $15 to $25 for your day inside.
What time does the Hollywood Studios parking lot open?
Parking lot opening times vary with the day's operations and Early Entry. Check your date's park hours and confirm parking and transport arrangements with Disney if you have an early reservation. Do not assume the lot will admit you at a fixed time every day.
Can I use the same parking receipt at another park?
No. Keep your receipt and show it at the next theme park parking entrance on the same day. Parking availability is not guaranteed, and moving from standard to preferred parking can require an upgrade payment. A parking receipt does not include park admission or Park Hopper access.
