Probably gonna get a ticket when you get in and then pay when you leave. Probably as long as your out by midnight you won’t be charged. Then most likely tow after that.
Btw it’s free for guest to park at the parks when staying at a resort. What’s stops people from just parking there over night.
Gotcha'. In this case, people could legitimately check here for news like this frequently and not be on Resorts much at all. That's why I like some duplication, personally.It really depends on the subject.
The truth is despite the immediate outrage, this will be easily forgiven. They are not the first or last hotel to charge parking fees. Even those outraged at the moment will quickly forgive as they see more and more high profile rides and attractions open. The extra money for parking that Disney implemented a few years ago will seem trivial compared to seeing shiny new toys like Galaxy Edge, Tron Coaster, Guardians Coaster, and Runaway Railway.
Disney is adding Billions of dollars in park and infrastructure improvements. Everything from Gondolas to I believe aren't they reworking the entrance to DHS? There is no doubt they will try to pass these costs to the consumer. As much as people have complained about not investing in the park, Disney listened and this is part of the bill for significant number of new attractions in the pipeline. Even as frustrating and upsetting these fees feel, I would rather have the new rides and parking fees then status quo. I will grumble, adjust my budget and just accept it as the new cost of Disney.
When you're running a business you aren't worried if a new revenue stream is going to make people mad, only if it will drive them away. That's not likely in this case. As for justifiable reasons, I can think of one, but I have no idea if it what WDW is thinking. There are a lot of complaints about the WDW bus system. So people choose to rent cars, park for free and drive themselves around the resort. This adds to the traffic, making the bus system even less efficient. So maybe if they discourage people from bringing cars, it will improve traffic and the WDW transportation system. I know some previous posters stated that they are helping the transportation system by bringing their own car and driving themselves, but I am not sure it actually helps having more cars driving around on property. Less traffic means buses can get to and from their destinations quicker and carry more passengers in the same amount of time. Just speculation on my part.
Another point he had is doesn't this defeat My Disney Experience? The whole thing about the app is bypassing check in and such. If you have to register your vehicle in person then MDE isn't working like it is supposed to.
OMG I swear I hadn't seen your post. I woke up this morning to like 7 more pages to read through and as I was trying to go through the thread more and more comments kept coming in so I scrolled past a lot of them.
I prefer NOT merging a lot of threads, personally. Not everyone visits every section of the boards. Sometimes some duplication is ideal.
Are the increases in tickets, APs, rooms, food, and everything else, as well as decreases in maintenance and staffing just not covering their 25% margin? I doubt it.The truth is despite the immediate outrage, this will be easily forgiven. They are not the first or last hotel to charge parking fees.

Yes but some DVC members go and stay at a Value or Moderate resort. I think that's what the PP was referring to. For example, we are DVC and paying cash for a stay at All-Star Music in a couple weeks. If we drove then we'd pay the parking fee even as DVC members.
No, its laid out in the many news sites.Does this parking fee apply to DVC reservations?
1. I think that will eventually come at least for extra FPs.it just brings up the bigger question what is disney's end game. And how many more up charges are going to be enough for you to say your not going to go.
As mentioned we know more charges are on the horizon....
- Maybe charging for fast passes like they are testing for the club level at resorts
- Charging Resort Fees
- Upping ticket prices when Star Wars opens
I by-pass check-in at every stay. As an AP holder who lives out of state, I drive to Disney 5-6 times a year. This will impact my trip budgets!! APs should be exempt. Quite frankly, I would rather they increase the daily price of the resort. Ugh!Another point he had is doesn't this defeat My Disney Experience?
