EV charging is available at all four Walt Disney World theme parks, Disney Springs and three Disney Resort hotels. Most spaces use ChargePoint and cost $0.35 per kilowatt-hour with a $1.50 minimum. They are first come, first served. A charging stop should be a useful option in the day, not the only way the car can get home.
EV charging locations
| Destination | Spaces | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Magic Kingdom | 5 | 1 at the front of the Medical Parking Lot and 4 at the front of the Zurg Parking Lot |
| EPCOT | 4 | Front of the HeiHei Parking Lot |
| Disney’s Animal Kingdom | 4 | Medical Parking Lot |
| Disney’s Hollywood Studios | 4 | Front of the Mickey Parking Lot |
| Disney Springs | 13 | Orange, Lime and Grapefruit garages, plus the Watermelon lot near Cirque du Soleil |

Ask a Cast Member for directions when you arrive. Parking sections can be large, and the charging spaces may sit near a lot entrance rather than near the row assigned to other vehicles.
Charging fees, payment and connector checks
The standard ChargePoint rate is $0.35 per kWh with a $1.50 minimum. Drivers can use a credit card or a preordered ChargePoint card. Charging stops when the battery is full, and ChargePoint sends an alert to the owner.
Disney’s public parking page does not identify the connector type or charging speed for each station. Check the live ChargePoint listing or the station screen before relying on a port. Your car’s connector, adapter and maximum charging rate still matter.
The charging fee is separate from parking access. A theme park guest still needs the applicable parking entitlement or must pay the day’s parking price. Registered Disney Resort hotel guests and eligible Annual Passholders may already have standard theme park parking included, but that does not reserve a charger.
Charging at the four theme parks
Magic Kingdom
The five charging spaces are in two areas at the Transportation and Ticket Center lots: one at the front of Medical Parking and four at the front of Zurg. Parking here still leaves a ferryboat or monorail trip to the park entrance.
EPCOT
Four charging spaces sit at the front of the HeiHei lot. Ask at the Auto Plaza before following a general row assignment.
Animal Kingdom
Four charging spaces are in the Medical Parking Lot. A charger in a medical lot does not make the space an accessible-parking substitute; follow the posted signs and Cast Member directions.
Hollywood Studios
Four charging spaces sit at the front of the Mickey lot. Confirm the current lot entrance before driving past the assigned area.
Theme park parking is limited and subject to availability. A paid parking pass does not guarantee a charger or even re-entry to the same lot later in the day. For parking prices and park-to-park driving rules, use the CrowdLevels Disney World transportation and parking guide.
Charging at Disney Resort hotels
Coronado Springs has six charging spaces, Riviera has two and Wilderness Lodge has two. All are general-parking spaces near accessible parking.
Overnight self-parking is complimentary for registered Disney Resort hotel guests. Day guests may use complimentary standard self-parking while enjoying select dining, shopping, entertainment or recreation at a resort. A charging session does not create separate access to a hotel lot. The Security Host controls entry and parking options, so confirm your visit and ask for the charger location on arrival.
If you are staying at another Disney hotel, do not assume a charger is hidden somewhere on property. Only these three resort hotels currently have charging spaces identified. Ask the hotel before the trip or plan a public charging stop elsewhere.
Disney Springs has two charging setups
Nine ChargePoint spaces are spread across the garages: three each on the fifth floors of Orange and Lime and three on the third floor of Grapefruit. Those use the standard $0.35-per-kWh rate and $1.50 minimum.
The Watermelon lot has four Level 3 chargers near Cirque du Soleil. They cost $0.40 per kWh, with a 20-minute grace period after charging and a $0.30-per-minute fee until the car is moved. Standard self-parking at Disney Springs is complimentary.
The CrowdLevels Disney Springs parking and transportation guide covers garage opening times, traffic buffers, rideshare and resort transportation.
A charging plan that can survive an occupied space
- Start with enough range to leave property. The charging spaces are few compared with the number of cars arriving.
- Check live details before departure. Confirm connector compatibility, current availability and the current ChargePoint price.
- Ask before following the normal parking flow. A Cast Member can direct you to the charging section while you are still near the entrance.
- Set an alert and move the car. ChargePoint pings when charging finishes. Disney Springs Level 3 stations add an idle fee after the grace period.
- Save a second option off property. One occupied or unavailable port should change the stop, not strand the day.
Frequently asked questions
How much does EV charging cost at Disney World?

Can I reserve a Disney World EV charger?
The charging spaces are first come, first served. Check ChargePoint before driving over, ask a Cast Member on arrival and keep a backup.
What connector should I bring?
Disney does not publish a connector type for every station on its parking page. Check the live ChargePoint record and your vehicle’s adapter requirements before the trip.
