Parking your car at Disney. There's always been a free to park your car at the parks... Okay, I get that... Even though that cost goes up every year.
Until recently parking at Disney resort hotels, when you are staying there as a guest, always had free parking... Like every other hotel across the country. Then Disney decided to start charging resort hotel guests a fee to park your car at the resort while you are a guest staying there.
I guess there was no guest backlash for these parking fees from guests, even though there was nothing you could do about it anyway.
To me, it all seemed like part of the plan to make every possible extra dollar from guests from anything they could possibly change extra for. Having experienced Disney for years, the normal was to pay for the resort room, admission to the parks, and the only thing extra was food and merchandise. Now there is a growing mountain of extra fees and privileges that can be purchased to enhance your visit. You could actually almost double the total cost of your vacation over and above the cost of the report stay & park admission, which themselves continue to go up every year. But maybe that's just me. I was use to the way things where for those days of Yesteryear.
In keeping with getting the extra dollar, anywhere they can, the cost of simply parking your car at the Disney resort hotel, when you are a guest, is going up... And there's nothing y'all can do about it if you drive to Disney.
My only question is why does a parking space cost different prices at different resorts? Answer.. The ability to pay. Which is in itself the crux of the entire price structure on everything at disney... The ability to pay.
There's lots of advantages to staying on property as a Disney guest... And you are going to pay a premium with extra fees for those advantages. Just saying.
Here's a "share" film a recent Facebook site about the process and the increases.
