Walt Disney World is set to undergo changes to how it handles valet parking resort-wide. According to a new report from WDWNT, Disney World will be switching from Bags, Inc., a valet service the resort has used for years, to Towne Park.

Valet parking is offered at several hotels around Walt Disney World. Guests staying at Deluxe Resorts, Deluxe Villas, and Coronado Springs have access to valet service.

This change is expected to take place on January 20, 2025. Current valet prices are $44 per night.

Valet service is also offered at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin hotels. However, the prices are slightly higher at these locations, at $44 per night.

Both the Swan and Dolphin hotels will soon undergo changes of their own, with a massive, multi-million dollar refurbishment being announced earlier this year. While owned by Tishman Realty & Construction Corporation and MetLife and operated by Marriott, the Swan and Dolphin are still fantastic places to spend a night at “The Most Magical Place on Earth,” with both featuring “magic” of their own.

Due to the sheer size of Walt Disney World, guests can use a number of different transportation methods to navigate the resort. Guests can obviously use their own personal vehicle to drive around Disney World, but they also have access to Uber and Disney’s Minnie-Van pick-up services.

Perhaps the most notorious way to navigate Walt Disney World is the Monorail, which takes guests to and from both EPCOT and Magic Kingdom, as well as a number of hotels.

Guests staying at specific hotels can also access the Walt Disney World Skyliner, which is arguably the most efficient way to get around the Florida resort, assuming they are trying to get to EPCOT or Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Of course, the most popular method of transportation continues to be Disney World’s bus service. These buses can be used to get to and from nearly everywhere around the resort, including hotels, theme parks, water parks, Disney’s shopping and dining district, and Disney Springs.

Parking at Walt Disney World works as follows:
