Question re: Parking for non-park time

[donaldanddaisy]

Hi -- I did search but couldn't find an answer and this is new for me. I don't live locally so always just part where I am staying. This time, I will be in LA for the weekend so we are coming in to do Mother's Day dinner at the Disneyland Hotel. We also want to spend time in Downtown Disneyland. I think I read that I can get 3 hours of free parking at the DL hotel for the dinner, but the dinner and shopping combined will last more than 3 hours. If I park there, what will they charge me after the 3 hours? Is there a better option for parking for what we will be there for?

Did you look at the parking page? There is a separate lot for DTD parking. It is close very close to the DLH.

Downtown Disney District Parking​

Location
Downtown Disney District Parking is at the Simba Lot, located off of Disneyland Drive, between West Katella Avenue and Pixar Place Hotel.

The first hour of parking costs $10 USD. Validations apply after the first hour of paid parking.

Enjoy an additional 3 hours of same-day parking with a $20 USD-minimum purchase and validation from any Downtown Disney location—or up to 5 additional hours of same-day parking with validation from any Downtown Disney table-service restaurant.

Beyond these validations, each additional hour costs $14 USD, charged in 30-minute increments, with a minimum $7 USD. The maximum daily parking and lost ticket fee is $66 USD. Parking is subject to capacity.

Please note that restaurants and lounges within Disneyland Resort hotels do not validate for Downtown Disney District parking areas.
