Overview & Suitability
The Vacation Village at Parkway Parking Garage is a multi-level covered parking structure located behind Buildings 7 and 8 (adjacent to the sales and check-in building) at the Vacation Village at Parkway resort in Kissimmee, Florida. Designed primarily to accommodate overflow parking when surface spaces near individual guest buildings are occupied, this facility is strictly reserved for registered resort guests, owners, and visitors. The garage is highly suitable for standard passenger vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, and standard pickup trucks. Please note that recreational vehicles (RVs), motorhomes, trailers, and heavy equipment are strictly prohibited from parking anywhere on the resort property, including this garage.
Access, Dimensions & Clearance
The parking garage features standard multi-level access with typical tight turns and ramps. As a covered structure, clearance is restricted to standard-sized passenger vehicles (generally up to 7 feet), making it unsuitable for oversized vehicles or high-top vans. Access is controlled, and the facility is easy to navigate with clear directional signage. A unique convenience feature of this garage is the call button located on the ground floor next to the exit. Guests who park in the garage can simply press the call button or dial "0" to request a complimentary resort shuttle to transport them and their luggage directly to their lodging building.
Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking
Self-parking within the garage and the resort's open surface lots is completely complimentary (free of charge) for all registered owners and guests. The cost of parking is bundled into the mandatory resort fees ($25.00 per night for renters or a flat $50.00 per stay for exchangers). Because this is a private resort facility, there are no public hourly, daily, or monthly parking tariffs, and independent public parking is not permitted. All parking arrangements are tied to your resort reservation, meaning no separate parking booking is required.
Security & Amenities
For peace of mind, the parking garage benefits from the resort's robust security measures, which include 24-hour security patrols throughout the property and well-lit parking decks. Key amenities include:
- On-Property Shuttle Service: A local resort shuttle runs daily from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM to help guests transition from the garage to their rooms.
- Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging: While there are no chargers directly inside the garage, the resort features ChargePoint EV charging stations located near Buildings 16/17 and 20/21, available to guests for a fee of $1.50 per hour.
Strategic Alternative
While the garage itself is restricted to resort patrons, parking here offers a highly strategic advantage for those visiting the Orlando area's world-class attractions. Guests can securely park their vehicles in the covered garage and take advantage of the resort’s complimentary theme park shuttles. The resort offers scheduled shuttle service to Walt Disney World (including Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, and Disney Springs), Universal Studios Florida, Universal Epic Universe, and SeaWorld Orlando. Utilizing this service allows guests to bypass the high daily parking fees at major theme parks while keeping their vehicles protected from the Florida sun.
