Parking Fee
At the Disneyland Hotel, parking is managed through a system that verifies guest status upon entry and exit. When guests arrive, they are asked for their name and confirmation of hotel stay at the entrance[1]. This allows the hotel to track which vehicles belong to registered guests.
For hotel guests, parking charges are typically added to the room bill rather than collected upfront. When leaving the parking area, guests present their room key, which is used to add the parking fee to their hotel account[1].
The hotel may also request additional vehicle information. Some guests report being asked to provide their license plate number, make, and model of their vehicle on a form during check-in[1]. This helps the hotel keep track of authorized vehicles in their parking areas.
For visitors who are not staying at the hotel but are dining at select table-service restaurants, parking validation is available for up to 3 hours[4].
It's worth noting that practices may vary slightly based on whether guests use self-parking or valet services. Valet parking often involves a simpler process where vehicle information is recorded by staff[1].
