Yachtsman Steakhouse Review: Disney World’s Most Magnificent Meats?

For the last decade, Yachtsman Steakhouse has been a staple of our Top 10 Table Service Restaurants at Walt Disney World . We’ve praised it as a carnivore’s paradise for glorious cuts of meat and the most approachable Signature Dining for guests who want something straightforward, delicious, and unfussy.

Yachtsman Steakhouse once ranked inside the top 5 on that list, and although it never hit #1, it has been a personal and sentimental favorite for years. With that said, nothing has quite lived up to our first couple of meals at Yachtsman Steakhouse during the heydey of the Disney Dining Plan, when the Porterhouse was served for one and was the size of my head.

It’s been a few years since we last revisited Yachtsman Steakhouse, and some of the recent reader reviews have not exactly instilled confidence. Nevertheless, we had ADRs here in late March until the closure nixed those plans. Since then, I’ve been “patiently” waiting for the last 527 days to devour a gigantic steak from Yachtsman–not that I’ve been counting or anything!

In terms of basic background info, Yachtsman Steakhouse is located at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort and is easily accessible from there, Beach Club, BoardWalk, Swan & Dolphin, any Skyliner Resort, or even Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. No bus transportation is needed from any of those locations.

Once the Disney Dining Plan returns , Yachtsman Steakhouse is a 2-credit table service restaurant. As with all Signature Restaurants, it’s a poor use of DDP credits unless you’re on the Deluxe Disney Dining Plan. For now, DVC members or Annual Passholders receive a 10% discount.

Thematically, Yachtsman Steakhouse has a distinct New England nautical style. The dining room is light and airy, but punctuated with rich woods, knotty-pine beams, warm lighting, and nautical touches.

The restaurant is by no means loud, but it’s definitely unpretentious. You’ll see a range of patrons here, from families to well-dressed convention guests to older locals who have been dining at Yachtsman for years.

The last Signature Restaurant we did at Walt Disney World prior to Yachtsman Steakhouse was Citricos, and the two strike clearly different tones. Yachtsman is more like a supper or country club, whereas Citricos is akin to a haute cuisine establishment.

I’d hesitate to take kids to Citricos, whereas I’d have no such issue with Yachtsman. (That’s just me, though–it’s Walt Disney World, so children are to be expected pretty much anywhere.)

Both are fine dining, but they have very different “goals” and approaches. The difference is that you go to somewhere like Citricos to sample inventive cuisine and creative flavors, and may drop over $100 while not leaving full.

By contrast, Yachtsman Steakhouse isn’t pushing the envelope and is likewise expensive, but you might need to be wheeled out of there. Each have their place, and appeal to different guests–or even moods of the same guests.

One of the things we truly appreciate about Yachtsman Steakhouse is that it’s still allowed to be itself, free of any totally unnecessary “modernization.”

Some might see the photos here, particularly the carpet and woods, and think this looks dated. We fiercely disagree–this is completely on theme, and has a delightfully personable and warm atmosphere.

Before sunset, light pours in through the restaurant’s many windows, making it bright and fitting of Yachtsman Steakhouse’s more jovial atmosphere.

At night, the dining room is darker and moodier with the warm and low lighting providing a romantic environment. Or at least as romantic as aggressively eating a huge hunk of meat and garlic-laden sides can be. On second thought, perhaps “subdued setting” is the more apt term.

As always, dinner at Yachtsman Steakhouse began with bread service.

The iconic onion pull-apart roll was predictably fantastic. It’s substantial but flaky, and you can peel off its layers, like an onion! It pairs perfectly with either the pink Himalayan salt butter or the roasted garlic…or both.

If you’re looking for something a bit healthier (?), there’s the multigrain cherry roll. This is dense and semi-sweet, but ultimately doesn’t hold a candle to the onion rolls.

No one is going to Yachtsman Steakhouse for multigrain rolls–it’s just not that type of establishment.

We were joined by friends for the meal, and they ordered the Lobster Bisque: Lobster Biscuits, Crème Fraîche and Espelette Oil.

Both of them enjoyed this twist on the New England staple, which appeared to have a hearty amount of lobster biscuits.

For one of their entrees, they ordered the 8-oz Filet Mignon served with Cognac-Truffle Butter and Truffle Fries.

While I believe that a good cut of meat should be able to speak for itself and not need to be bathed in butter for flavor, it’s hard to argue with Yachtsman’s use of that addictively delicious Cognac-Truffle Butter.

For the other entree, they opted for the 16-oz Prime Rib-Eye Steak served with Blue Cheese-Shallot Butter and Truffle Fries.

After stuffing myself on steak, I didn’t do a good job of requesting extensive tasting notes, but both of our friends enjoyed their steaks. No rave reviews or overly-enthusiastic accolades, but general satisfaction seemed to be the meal’s mood.

For our entree, Sarah and I ordered the Chef’s Signature Offering: 28-oz Porterhouse for Two served with Cognac-Truffle Butter and Choice of two Steakhouse Sides.

This is a behemoth, but also is priced at $139. If I recall correctly, it’s a 2-credit upgrade on the Disney Dining Plan, meaning that doing Yachtsman Steakhouse and ordering this Porterhouse will set you back 4 credits.

I hate to be one of those curmudgeonly old men who shouts, “ back in my day, Coca Cola cost a nickel at the corner soda stand! ” when seeing fountain drinks for $5 at a restaurant. However, it wasn’t too long ago when this Porterhouse was for one and only 2 credits or under $60 out of pocket. (In fact, when we dined here in 2012, the 24-ounce Porterhouse cost $46.)

Of course, times and prices change–that much is to be expected–but the cost has more than tripled in less than a decade. On the plus side, it’s 4 ounces larger and comes with one additional side now. Still, it’s a steep price even when compared to other options here–or the superlative Chuletón Bone-In Rib-Eye at Toledo Steakhouse .

The Chef’s Signature 28-oz Porterhouse for Two at Yachtsman Steakhouse was very good, but fell a little short of greatness.

It delivered in terms of tenderness, marbling, a robustly meaty flavor, and impressive presentation. If I weren’t paying for this and didn’t know how much it cost, I’d have no complaints. A satisfactory steak through and through, just not one that blew us away.

Perhaps we’re being unrealistic, but at this price point, we simply expected more. To each their own, but I’d say it’s about $40 overpriced at $139.

We’ve done a number of porterhouse or ribeye steaks (both for one and for two) over the years. This was above average, but still middle of the pack. I’d put it behind the aforementioned counterpart at Toledo (which is now served as a 4-course dinner for two, priced at $129) and also other options at third party hotels in both the Crescent Lake and Bonnet Creek areas at Walt Disney World.

Now let’s turn to the sides. For our first option, we chose the Truffle Macaroni & Cheese. An unsurprising pick given that we’re suckers for this dish.

I’ve previously remarked that there’s “no such thing” as bad truffle mac & cheese, only varying degrees of good or great. Assuming that’s true, this was the “least good” truffle mac & cheese we’ve had in years. It was surprisingly dry and lacking in flavor. None of the richness or cheesiness we’d expect.

At the other end of the spectrum, the Roasted Seasonal Mushrooms were absolutely phenomenal.

Consisting of four varieties of mushrooms, these had a deeply rich flavor and were prepared in a way that let the mushrooms stand on their own while enhancing them. These mushrooms were an unexpected standout from our meal.

We finished with Yacthsman’s Chocolate Cake: Dark Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Decadence Cake, Mixed Berry Curd, Peanut Butter Crunch and Mousse.

Like our Porterhouse, this signature dessert also serves two and has an impressive presentation.

We had very different opinions about this. For me, this wholly embodied Yachtsman Steakhouse–a pretty but straightforward and indulgent dessert. Big and totally unpretentious, with bold but crowd-pleasing flavors.

Sarah though it was all “too much,” with over-the-top decadence, plus flavors and textures that didn’t come together particularly well. I can’t totally disagree with her–this certainly isn’t among my top 10 desserts at Walt Disney World–but the presentation coupled with the chocolate, peanut butter, and berry flavors worked well enough for me.

Ultimately, Yachtsman Steakhouse has a sense of comfort and familiarity that you won’t find at many Walt Disney World restaurants anymore. Many of the Cast Members have been there for years and offer professional but personable service. The atmosphere and style are warm and welcoming. The menu is full of magnificent meats and other steakhouse favorites. It’s hard to put my finger on exactly why or how, but it’s the kind of place that would make Ron Swanson shed a single tear–and that’s something special.

However, Yachtsman Steakhouse no longer feels like the unparalleled Walt Disney World spot for steaks that it once was. Many other Signature Restaurants serve up similarly great cuts of meat, but with their own ambitious twists or more competitive pricing. Two recent additions–Toledo and Topolino’s Terrace–come to mind here, but so too do a wide range of restaurants at Disney Springs and in flagship restaurants at third party hotels that are on-site. To be sure, Yachtsman Steakhouse is still a restaurant we’ll revisit down the road, but between an improved “steak scene” elsewhere at Walt Disney World and higher prices at Yachtsman, it’s no longer the clear-cut chophouse champion.

Just found this new review via Google search, so please ignore my comment asking for a new review posted to your old review, which the site took me to yesterday. Love your Blog and perspectives!

Nothing touches the Yachtsman in my book. I’m blessed to have eaten in several steak houses across the country and this beats them all. I’ve also dined at the other signatures at WDW and the Yachtsman beats them all in my book, for a great steak dinner. When I eat at the Yachtsman, it’s an evening long experience shared with people I love, and we know how to live! Can’t wait to go back next month!

Disney’s Yacht Club is located inside the EPCOT area, near Disney’s Boardwalk and Disney’s Beach Club. In case you aren’t familiar, Disney describes this resort as:

Delight in the formal grace of a grand New England-style yacht club at this lakeside hotel. Relax in the inviting elegance of a plush lobby replete with nautical touches, explore the whimsical Stormalong Bay and rent a variety of watercraft from Bayside Marina. Sharing many amenities with its pastel-toned sister, Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort is walking distance to Epcot and a convenient boat ride to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

How to get to the Yachtsman Steakhouse

If you are staying on property, there are a few different transportation options you can take in order to get to Yachtsman Steakhouse.

If you are staying at any of the EPCOT resorts — including Disney’s Yacht Club, Disney’s Beach Club , Disney’s Boardwalk , Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, or Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel — you can either walk to Disney’s Yacht Club by following the path around the lake, or you can opt to take the friendship boat. This also goes for if you are visiting the EPCOT theme park for the day, you can either walk over to Disney’s Yacht Club or take the friendship boat. Be sure to use the park exit near World Showcase and not the main entrance.

If you are staying at any of the other Walt Disney World hotels on property, you can either take a complimentary bus to one of the theme parks (or to Disney Springs) and catch a bus to Disney’s Yacht Club from there.

If you are visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios for the day and want to get to Yachtsman Steakhouse from the theme park, you can take the friendship boats directly to Disney’s Yacht Club by utilizing the launch outside of the park entrance.

If you are visiting one of the other theme parks, either Magic Kingdom or Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you can take a bus directly to Disney’s Yacht Club.

And lastly, if you opted, you could also use the Lyft app to call for a car to take you directly there, however, this is not complimentary, and depending on where you are located on the Disney World property, it can cost you upwards of a few dollars. For more information on using Lyft at Disney World, visit our website here.

Yachtsman Steakhouse Review

Yachtsman Steakhouse is a table-service restaurant in Walt Disney World’s Yacht Club Resort. Termed as a signature restaurant, Yachtsman Steakhouse would require two credits on the Disney Dining Plan (when applicable) and has higher prices than the usual sit down spot at WDW although they do offer Annual Pass and DVC discounts. The restaurant specializes in, you guessed it, steaks and is one of the few true steakhouses on property. In this post, we’ll review the restaurant’s atmosphere, food and value.

While I’ve had the pleasure to eat at many and most of Walt Disney World’s restaurants, Yachtsman Steakhouse seemingly was the one that I kept missing one way or another. There was always another restaurant to try or money to save and then the restaurant had a long closure due to COVID before opening late this summer. With the opportunity to finally catch the white whale, this yachtsman took advantage. I’m so sorry, that will be my last nautical/yachting/Moby-Dick joke of this post.

As much as I love red meat and consider myself a good carnivore, I’m not as drawn to steakhouses as some other restaurants. I don’t think they offer as much room for imagination in their offerings and I usually like seafood just as much as most steak. A steakhouse really has to wow me for me to feel like it’s worth the price, especially relative to other fancy restaurants. Thankfully, Yachtsman Steakhouse went above and beyond my expectations.

The restaurant makes no bones about who they’re appealing to. Immediately upon entry, guests are met by the dry-aging room also known as (by me) the meat room! The room is tucked away to the left of the kitchen and seating area. It’s an impressive room filled with incredible cuts of meat.

Inside of the actual restaurant, the restaurant is themed similarly to the rest of the Yacht Club. There’s some New England style architecture and heavy nautical theming. Warm wood tones abound along with a deep turquoise giving Yachtsman Steakhouse a masculine yet inviting feel.

There are several dining rooms throughout the restaurant, all of them are pretty light and airy. I wouldn’t say the restaurant is overly decorated or trying hard for a modern aesthetic, instead Yachtsman Steakhouse knows what it is and does that well. My favorite feature of the restaurant are the beautiful windows and ceiling on the far right of the dining room. Many of the windows in that area arch out giving the look of a captain’s quarters. I like these small, understated touches that make the dining room somewhat unique.

Let’s move on the menu , where the atmosphere of the restaurant takes its cues. There’s a few different offerings on the menu but everything revolves around the steak. Writing this while hungry was an absolute mistake.

Being a signature restaurant, Yachtsman Steakhouse offers a great bread service. The onion pull apart roll is perfectly flaky and delicious. It’s served warm and matches wonderfully with the roasted garlic or Himalayan salt butter that comes with the bread service.

There’s also multigrain cherry rolls, and I liked these almost as much even if they are supposedly healthy! The cherry gave them a nice pop of flavor.

Moving on to the entrees, I ordered the 16-oz Rib-Eye Steak which comes with Blue Cheese-Shallot Butter and is served with one accompaniment selection. The Rib-Eye was cooked a perfect medium rare and was exceptionally tender. The flavor of the meat alone was delicious and the Blue Cheese-Shallot Butter added to the rich and creaminess. This was huge and extremely rich. I had next to no chance of finishing this in one sitting but it was exceptional!

We also tried the 8-oz Filet Mignon which is served with Cognac-Truffle Butter and served with one accompaniment selection. This wasn’t as gigantic as the Rib-Eye but it was just as delicious, if not more so. The meat was even more tender, to the point where I’m not sure that you needed a steak knife to cut it. I preferred the Truffle Butter to the Blue Cheese Butter, although it was even more rich. Everything about this dish melted in your mouth.

Yachtsman Steakhouse was all an exercise in how much someone could eat and that included the sides. The mashed potatoes were delicious and, I say this in praise, you could really taste the butter in them. They were very smooth and paired well with the meat.

While I liked the mashed potatoes, the potato-leek gratin blew it out of the water. What’s better than buttery potatoes? Buttery potatoes with cheese on top of them. Yes, it was another dish in the line of heavy foods but I would be happy to eat a bowl of this anytime.

Each of the steaks came with one accompaniment and the option we didn’t have was the french fries. We have had those at the next door Crew’s Cup Lounge and they are outstanding, as well.

There were several sides that you can add to your meal and we decided to go with the Roasted Seasonal Mushrooms. While I didn’t think the mushrooms quite lived up to everything else on the menu, they were fresh and delicious. They paired well with each of the steaks and I’d be interested in trying any of the other sides there.

In the name of research, dessert seemed like a necessity 😉 We ordered the Yachtsman’s Chocolate Cake and it was a good decision. Here’s what it looks like when it is cut open!

The layers are made up of Dark Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Decadence Cake, Mixed Berry Curd, Peanut Butter Crunch and Mousse. Needless to say, this was very rich, delicious, and too much food. The menu does say it serves two and that is certainly accurate! The Mixed Berry Curd offset some of the richness of the chocolate. While maybe a little much for me, this was one of the most impressive desserts I’ve had anywhere.

I haven’t mentioned the prices here because they’re all very high and I thought I’d get the praise out of the way. All of the steaks are between the $50-$60 range with the sides under $15 and the cake at $19. While it’s a lot, I didn’t think this was out of line with real world steakhouses. The quality of the food certainly matches up to that. I do think there are more creative restaurants at Disney World where you can spend about the same amount but whether you should choose them over Yachtsman Steakhouse depends on how much you like steak.

Overall, Yachtsman Steakhouse is one of the best restaurants in Walt Disney World. While it may not be inventive or modern in its design, it’s a restaurant that has exceptional food and fits in well within the theme constraints. The only negative is the steep price although I’d consider it fair. For meat eaters, it doesn’t get much better than this.

Overall Rating – 9.5/10

And believe me, you DON’T want to skip this Disney dining spot on your vacation!

Since the restaurant is only open for dinner the vibe is very adult. This is a great date night spot for couples , or a treat yourself type mean for solo travelers. 

You’ll feel as if you’re whisked away on a nautical escapade through the great North East of America.

How Do I get a reservation at Yachtsman Steakhouse? 

The easiest way to get a reservation for Yachtsman Steakhouse is through the My Disney Experience app. 

You can also make reservations on the Walt Disney World website or by calling the reservation center at Walt Disney World.

A word of warning though, the latter of the two options is not the most efficient and phone calls to Disney have been taking upwards of two hours just to talk to someone. 

If you do see a reservation for the restaurant you should go ahead and book it even if it’s not at your intended dining time, because it’s always easier to modify an existing reservation versus make a new one. 

If you decide you don’t want to dine at Yachtsman Steakhouse after you’ve reserved a table, you can cancel without penalty up to 24 hours before your reservation.

What if I Can’t get a reservation for Yachtsman Steakhouse? 

There are a few options if you can’t get a reservation for Yachtsman Steakhouse before your trip to Walt Disney World.

The first is to get to the restaurant right when it opens at 5:00 p.m. and see if you can be seated.

Another option is to eat in the nearby lounge, Crews Cup , which is currently serving the exact same menu as Yachtsman Steakhouse. 

7 Best Lounges at Disney World To Unwind and Relax (2023)

Crews Cup Lounge 

The Crews Cup Lounge is located right next door to Yachtsman Steakhouse. Its vibe is very relaxed with tables, booths, and bar seating.

This lounge used to have its own unique menu , but post-pandemic the original menu has not returned and the lounge is serving the Yachtsman Steakhouse menu. 

If you are able to snag a table inside the Crews Cup Lounge, try to get the table near the window looking into the dry-aging room at Yachtsman Steakhouse.

Through the window, you can see the steaks being expertly cut by the restaurant’s butcher for service as guests order.

What’s on the Menu at Yachtsman Steakhouse? 

Yachtsman Steakhouse only serves dinner and everything on the menu is a la carte, meaning every item you order is a certain price. 

Meals start out with a bread basket filled with savory pull-apart onion rolls and cherry multigrain sourdough rolls.

Bread Service

The bread is served with the restaurant’s signature roasted garlic and salted butter.

Yes, that means you can literally smear pieces of roasted garlic and slather butter all over these delightful breads.

When it comes to starters, I really enjoy the French Onion Soup , which is perfectly rich with plenty of onions, sourdough croutons, and topped with melted gruyère cheese. You definitely have to try the Beef Carpaccio as well.

Also the famous Caesar Salad is perfect here!

Entrees and Dessert at the Yachtsman Steakhouse

Entrees obviously mean having a steak , and no matter which one you choose it comes with a sauce or butter, and your choice of side. I always order the 14-ounce roasted prime rib with horseradish cream.

Each entree comes with your choice of accompaniment, with either mashed potatoes, potato-leek gratin, or house-made French fries. I typically choose the gratin or the fries. 

When dinner is done, do not leave the restaurant without trying one of the delicious desserts.

The signature dessert at the restaurant is the Yachtsman’s Chocolate Cake, which is made with dark chocolate mousse, chocolate cake, mixed berry curd, peanut butter crunch, and mousse, and serves two.

This is one thing I love to get even if I’m dining alone so I can take the leftovers back to my Disney hotel room and munch on them the next night too.

My Final Thoughts and Review of Yachtsman Steakhouse

Yachtsman Steakhouse is a lovely option for dining at Walt Disney World, whether you’re traveling alone or going out with friends, or on a date night. 

Here are a few tips to ensure your experience at Yachtsman Steakhouse is the best that it can be. 

• Security at the front of the Yacht Club can be very strict about who they let into the parking lot at the hotel.
• If you don’t have a confirmed dining reservation at the Yachtsman Steakhouse , your better option for dining here will be to take a ride share or take the Disney Skyliner . This is best if you’re staying at one of the resorts that the transportation service goes to and from. 
• I f you’re at EPCOT and want a break from the park and think Yachtsman Steakhouse sounds like a nice place, you’ll want to walk to the back of the park to the International Gateway to get to the Yacht Club and to the restaurant.

New Disney’s Yacht Club Vineyard Vines Apparel Has Arrived!

by Justin Hermes · June 17, 2024

I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite places in all of Walt Disney World is Disney’s Yacht Club. Located on Crescent Lake, the resort is not only a short walk (or a FriendShip boat ride!) away from both EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but it also has some of the best theming on property.

Add in Stormalong Bay. Beaches and Cream and the hidden treasure that is Hurricane Hannah’s, and I don’t know what more anyone could want in a Disney resort.

Photo: Disney

Well, if you are a fan of Disney’s Yacht Club like me, then you have to see the new shirts that have arrived.

Disney’s Yacht Club Resort Merchandise

Fitting in well with the overall theme of Disney’s Yacht Club, the new apparel comes from Vineyard Vines.

Yacht Club Polo

First up, we have the Disney’s Yach Club Resort polo!

The short-sleeved shirt features a simple Yacht Club logo on the front and three buttons.

The back of the shirt, meanwhile, is plain.

If you look closely at the sleeve, you can spot the Vineyard Vines logo!

You can get this understated polo now for $100!

Lightweight Half-Zip

If you liked the look of the last polo, then you are going to love the matching lightweight half-zip.

Once again, the front of the shirt features a simple Yacht Club logo.

The back is also plain, with a small Vineyard Vines logo near the neck.

If you are looking to add a little Disney flair to your wardrobe without being over the top, this is the perfect half-zip for you!

You can get it now for $110.

Half-Zip Sweatshirt

Last but certainly not least, we have this heavier half-zip pullover sweatshirt.

The front of the shirt matches the rest of the line, once again featuring the Yacht Club name.

The back of the sweatshirt, meanwhile, is plain, although there is a slightly larger Vinyard Vines logo on the neck.

Unlike the last half-zip that we saw, this one is significantly thicker.

You can get it now for $150!

Where To Get It

If you want to get any of this new Vineyard Vines Yacht Club, stop by the Yacht Club Marketplace on your next trip to the resort.

Happy shopping!

If you’re a big fan of the Disney Parks’ after-dark events and/or pin trading,  you’ll want to check out this latest announcement!

Disney World hosts several after-hours events throughout the year that let guests experience the Disney Parks via special events closed to the general public. However, the fun isn’t always limited to the parks — sometimes After Dark events will be held at the Disney World hotels , as well. In fact, Disney just announced that a Disney After Dark event is coming to a Moderate Resort this September!

Per an official Disney World release, the 2024 Disney After Dark Pin Event  will take place at Disney World on Saturday, September 14th, 2024 at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort Convention Center!

Disney describes the event as an opportunity to “explore a spellbinding pin collection that celebrates the wonder and excitement that happens once the sun sets at Disney Parks — where day transforms into night with an enchanting display of fireworks, light shows, parades and so much more!”

Check-in for the event will take place on Friday, September 13, 2024,  one day before the event is held.

As of this writing, Disney has only billed the event as a “day of wonderful pin-trading activities”  and not much else is known about what the event will specifically offer. Registration is also currently unavailable. We’ll update you with more information as soon as it’s made available.

The 2024 Disney After Dark Pin Event coincides with Magic Kingdom’s   Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party , which takes place on select dates from August 9th, 2024 through October 31st, 2024. If you’re in town between September 13th and September 15th for the party, this Disney After Dark Event might be something worth looking into!

We can’t wait for this event and we’re looking forward to learning more as it nears! As always, stay tuned right here at AllEars for the latest Disney World news, tips, reviews, and more!

How Much Does it Cost to Park at Disney World? The Answer Will Surprise You!

B efore you make your way out to Walt Disney World, it’s important to know what to budget for when it comes to parking. You’re mostly likely asking yourself how much does it cost to park at Disney World?

And yeah, the parking prices can be absolutely ridiculous at any of the Florida theme parks.

You may also want to know if parking is free at Disney World?

It’s not, but later in this guide I will give you tips on how to park at Disney for free.

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS. PLEASE READ MY  DISCLOSURE  FOR MORE INFO.  Which means if you click on certain links, I may receive a small commission at no additional charge to you.

Disney World Parking Tips at a Glance: 

• Disney Parks give you three different options for parking fees

• Registered guests of Disney Resort Hotels can enjoy FREE standard self-parking  
• One of the perks of being an Annual Passholder, Premium Passholder, or Disney Premier Passport holder is complimentary standard parking at the Disney theme parks
• Disney’s Water Parks and Disney Springs has complimentary standard self-parking  
• There IS FREE bus transportation from Disney Resort hotels to Disney Springs

Keep reading this full guide to find out all you need to know about the cost to park at Disney World and for more Disney parking tips. 

Cost to Park at Disney World

The cost for parking at Disney World recently increased which makes it a budget item that you need to pay attention to when saving for your trip.

Since I’m an Annual Passholder, I sometimes forget just how painful it can be adding parking to your Disney fees.

The rates to park at Disney World are always changing so, let’s go through a breakdown of what it currently costs for parking at Disney World .

ORDER NOW to secure your Walt Disney World theme park ticket! GET MY TICKETS.

Walt Disney World Parking Fees at the Theme Parks

One parking pass is good all day at all 4 theme parks:

• Magic Kingdom Theme Park
• Disney’s Hollywood Studios
• Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park

How Much Does it Cost to Park at Disney World?

When you approach the theme park gates at Disney, you’ll notice three different options for parking fees.

1. Standard Parking: Car or Motorcycle – $30 per day 

Standard parking at the Disney Parks may require you to be parked a little ways back from the gate.

Don’t worry, there are trams that can take you to the front area of the park at no additional fee.

Hipster Power Tip: Remember that the Magic Kingdom is the busiest theme park in the world so be sure to get there an hour and a half before to the gates open.

This may seem radical, but if you’re parking you have to take into consideration:

• Finding a  parking space.
• Getting on the  tram to the transportation ticket center.
• Taking the monorail or boat over to the Magic Kingdom gates.  There can be a very long line to get on the monorail or the boat.
• Getting through the ticket turnstiles. This may take a while due to new security safety measures of  having your bags checked.

2. Preferred Parking: Car or Motorcycle – $45 per day during non-peak seasons; $50 per day during peak seasons 

This area is located the closest to the park front gates. Disney Cast Members will also give you a bottle of water when you choose this option.

Keep in mind that the prices for Preferred Parking do vary based on the season that you visit.

3. Oversized Vehicle Parking: Shuttle, Limo, Camper Trailer, RV, Bus or Tractor Trailer – $35 per day

This is a Disney parking fee that you will pay if you plan on parking one of these vehicles on property.

Can you leave Disney parking lot and come back?

You absolutely can!

When you pay for one parking pass, it’s good for the rest of the day at any of the four Walt Disney World Theme Parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom).

So, enjoy your park hopping adventure at Disney without paying extra to park.

Do Disney resort guests pay for parking?

According to  Disney , registered guests of Disney Resort Hotels, select Annual Passholders, Premium Passholders and Disney Premier Passport holders will have free standard self-parking at Disney Theme Parks.

They also go on to say that you can choose Preferred Parking by paying the difference in cost between the standard parking and preferred parking fee.

This comes out to about a $20-$25 difference if you go with this option.

You more about the Disney Resort hotel parking fees here.

How much does it cost to park at Disney Water Parks?

Standard parking at Disney’s Water Parks is free! These parks include:

• Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon
• Blizzard Beach

How much does it cost to park at Disney Springs?

Standard self-parking is free at Disney Springs.

There are 3 parking garages and an additional 4 charging stations that are new on Level 3.

They are located in the Watermelon parking lot, and you can find them in front of Cirque du Soleil. 

Disney Springs Parking Garages:

• Lime Garage is closer to the offsite hotels in Disney Springs and is located near the LEGO Store, World of Disney, and the BOATHOUSE
• Orange Garage is located near AMC Theater, the Coca-Cola Store, and Planet Hollywood
• Grapefruit Garage is the newest garage that is located across the street from the Lime Garage and has a pedestrian bridge to cross the street over to Disney Springs

There are additional regular parking lots around Disney Springs which are:

Payment is usually collected when you pick up your car. Please keep in mind that gratuites are typically accepted.

Hipster Power Tip: If you have a special event, dining reservation, or concert that you need to be at, then you’ll want to arrive at Disney Springs an hour in advance to park and get situated.

What time can you park at Disney Springs?

You can start parking in the Disney Springs garages at 9 a.m. each day.

I do recommend checking the time before you go just to make sure it hasn’t changed.

How much does it cost to park at ESPN Wide World of Sports?

Standard self-parking is free at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports complex.

Can I park for free at Disney World?

You may be wondering if you can park at Disney Springs and go to the parks?

It’s definitely possible if you know how to do it the right way. Even with the high cost to park at Disney World, you can find ways to park for free at Disney which we will go into detail down below.

According to Disney , all Guests have complimentary acces s to their network of monorails, buses and boats.

How To Avoid Parking Fees At Disney World

As you can see from Disney’s official quote, you can use free parking at Disney Springs as a way to see the other resorts throughout Walt Disney World or visit multiple parks.

Now that you know this, it’s important to note that the Disney Springs buses do not go straight to the parks. However, they do run between Disney Springs and Disney Resort hotels.

They start running 45 minutes before Disney Springs opens and stop one hour after closing. 

Once you have parked at one of the garages at Disney Springs, head over to the bus station.

You’ll then figure out which resort you need to be dropped off at based on your theme park choice for that day.

Disney World Transportation to the Parks from Disney Springs

Let’s go over how to get to the theme parks from Disney Springs.

Disney Springs to Magic Kingdom

You will need to take a bus to the to one of the Magic Kingdom resorts: Polynesian Resort, Contemporary Resort, or the Grand Floridian Resort.

The Contemporary Resort is the best place to be dropped off.

Here you can take a 10-minute walk over to the Magic Kingdom or hop on the monorail.

Disney Springs to Epcot 

You will need to take a bus to one of the Epcot Resorts: The Boardwalk or the Yacht and Beach Club.

Once you arrive at one of the resorts you can take the boat or walk over to the back entrance of Epcot.

Disney Springs to Hollywood Studios 

You will need to take a bus to one of the Epcot Resorts: The Boardwalk, Swan and Dolphin Resort, or the Yacht and Beach Club.

Once you arrive at one of the resorts you can take the boat or walk over to the park entrance.

Disney Springs to Animal Kingdom 

You will need to hop on a bus to the Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Once there, you can take a bus to Animal Kingdom theme park.

Can you park overnight at Disney Springs?

It is not recommended for you to park overnight at Disney Springs. Doing so may result in your vehicle being towed, which is the worst way to experience a Disney vacation.

Disney Springs is open Sunday to Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. 

Pros and Cons of Parking for Free at Disney World

The main benefit of parking at Disney Springs is the free cost. However, what you don’t pay with money you will pay with your time.

Parking at Disney Springs and taking the bus over to resorts to board another form of transportation can take away at least 2 hours from your day. Plus, Disney Springs usually doesn’t open until 9 a.m. which is too late for you to start your theme park day.

If you’re a frequent reader of this blog, then you know that one of my top tips for Disney is to get there early!

Parking this way will not do that for you.

Although Disney doesn’t offer any parking discounts and the thought of paying the $30 is tough to swallow, it will make your day much easier.

Is Preferred Parking worth it?

Preferred Parking at the Disney theme parks is not worth it. If you arrive early, you’ll be able to get a decent parking space.

Plus, Disney will always have a tram to come by your parking lot row to take you directly to the front of the gates.

Final Thoughts on the Cost of Parking at Disney

I understand that the cost to park at Disney World can be quite expensive. Especially, if you plan on being there for a few days .

Planning a 3-day visit to Disney World can put your parking budget around $90 for just those few days!

I hope I was able to help you decide which parking method to use for your next trip. If you want to learn more about saving for Walt Disney World, then read this epic guide!

Please note, this list is always subject to change. Many restaurants — especially those owned by third parties and not by Disney itself (particularly if they are newer locations) — may wait until late in the year, or even early the next year, to confirm their participation in the Disney Dining Plan. So, if there are restaurants that you don’t see on this list, stay tuned to see if they get added at a later date. The best indicator of whether or not a restaurant will participate is whether they did so the previous year, which you can reference here *.
