Parking Rates September 2025

Be patient and everything will comes along. Just enjoy and be happy that's why we were here. Just have a nice meal or shopping of $20 or more while you are here that takes a lot of frustration on parking fees/parkingmegaddon. Make sure to bring the parking ticket with you to have it validation!!!

11-26-21 exit is major busy  10:04 pm

11-26-21 Shhh... this is the best meaning closest parking for Downtown Disney. You proceed to the security checkpoint then you're free to shop, eat, people watch or jive to the live entertainment. Our go tos are Ralph Brennan's for sit down meals then find cool Disney attire or items for omiyage at the big store. After you're done, walk back to your vehicle at the Simba Parking lot. Sometimes like last nite they had cones blocking where you needed to follow the arrow for accessible parking. On a busy Friday evening the entry or exit lines hit up a traffic jam but you can be happy that your walk was shorter back to your car then walking all the way to the top to meet an Uber driver.

Simba Parking is a huge parking lot for those who want to take a stroll, hang out or do some serious shopping at Downtown Disney. If you want to get a close parking spot then i suggest you come early because it does fill up the later it gets in the day. Pricing was reasonable considering its Disney lol Remember to take your belongings and lock your vehicles.

Guest/visitor entrance to Simba Parking off Disneyland Drive.

If it's your first time parking here like it was ours, please note a few things! Pre covid this was the cast member parking lot, but is currently is the Downtown Disney (DTD) District visitor/guest parking lot as well. The Google Maps 'Simba Cast Member Lot' location marker is NOT where guests/visitors enter; the actual entrance is located off Disneyland Drive. If you enter in the Cast Member Lot entrance due to Google Maps like we did, tell the parking attendant, and they will tell you how to exit the lot and enter off Disneyland Dr so you can grab a ticket, ('lost' tickets are $66!). Please see further covid-19 updates & general information on this lot for DTD District on their website here: https://disneyland.disney.go.com/experience-updates/downtown-disney/#drawer-card-guestParkingEntrances DTD District Hours: https://disneyland.disney.go.com/calendars/day/

Parking is $10.00 even if you have a pass this is the only parking for Downtown Disney

Been a DL Keypass Magic Key member for almost 10 years now. I Never knew they had a Disneyland…read moreparking structure review. In simple terms, Disneyland Parking structure has to be the best in the world I have seen. Engineering is excellent. This Parking structure accommodates all guests to the theme park!! Big Kudos to the master Architect and Engineering team for coming up with this layout. Easy to get in and easy to get out. Bravo!! Only if Sport venues in Southern California can utilize this type of Structural Parking, the world would be a better place. Dodger Stadium especially lol. Overall, never seen a Parking structure like Disneylands. They have their own staff for traffic control. Excellent!

The general go to parking lot if you're inputting Disneyland into your GPS and if you're following…read morethe general signs around telling you where to go to to park your car for the parks. There's a hack to get free parking later in the day, but now with the summer late entry tickets and Oogie Boogie Bash in the fall, I doubt that will be as prominent. Very organized and regulated, even when it looks like there's a daunting crowd of cars outside, the parking structure cast members are really good at direction, letting you know where to stop your car and this truly shows that Disney is a well oiled machine. Free parking with the higher levels of Magic Key pass, if not you're shelling out $40 or more depending on how big your vehicle is. There's elevators and escalators, just make sure to remember where you parked or log it onto your app. I think my only issue is that I've seen more shenanigans happen here than any other parking spot at the parks (Toy Story/Pixar Pals). I've seen drinking, smoking many forms of substances, trash everywhere, including what looks like an entire picnic and all of the trash just tossed onto the other parking spots, and most worryingly, a woman getting out of a car while it was driving while yelling at her partner and blocking us from leaving. I guess with how popular this parking structure is, you're bound to see something.

Update Jun '26: - Now $4/hr. 3 yr ago it was $3/hr…read more Jun '22: Likes: + Parking garage offers plenty of shade. + Despite a crowded Father's Day, we were able to find ground level parking. Non-likes: - The parking cost in general. Kinda makes Fashion Island and South Coast Plaza appealing with their free parking, doncha think? - They should have a marker on the parking ticket so you KNOW it's validated before you walk back to the parking garage. The FiRE+iCE waiter validated my parking, but the ticket still looks the same. Waitress told me the machine will know via barcode. But when I went to pay, my parking wasn't validated after all. I've been hoodwinked. - If you're facing the two elevators near the plaza as if you're about to enter one, the one on the right wasn't working. We were on floor 2, we stepped in and hit 1, the elevator doors closed but the elevator didn't move. The button didn't even light up. We stepped out, stepped back in, hit 1 again, elevator still didn't move. Don't get stuck in there! oh you're welcome Jasn.

There's plenty of parking here and you could get the parking validated if you eat here at this mall…read morebut if you're going across the street a few blocks to these other restaurants, the cost of parking can be high. We parked here once to visit this mall, and another time to go to a rooftop bar across the street a few blocks up and had to pay for the full day since it's a per hour rate. Either way it's a convenient place to park, especially in this weather!

This is a great place to park in Downey, especially if street parking is not available. 2. In the summertime it is covered parking, so that'll help keep your car cool for sure. 3.

Most people park here because they think it's for the movies but in actually, anyone can park here. I went to go eat at a resturant, stopped by the bank and taking my time, enjoying the breeze while I watch the sunset on the top parking lot floor. You'll be surprised but you don't have to fight for parking on the first floor for safety. I passed so many cars parked along the 3 floors I drove thru to get to the top and it's still half full up here. There's also a working elevator, if your feeling too lazy to walk down the stairs. Plus I'd rather park here than on Downey St, especially when people are crossing to get to the clubs and what not. Edit : Forgot to mention but this can be alternative parking for going to the restaurants across Firestone. I mean, who really wants to park their car so close to other cars that you have to safely get in and out of it without hitting them. Nuh uh, I'd rather park here and walk a few mins over instead. But that's just me.
