So, let's take the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress - they have LOADS of space, miles of hiking, an "old time" village, etc. tons of space for parking, they still charge for it, because that land is valueable. I will admit to having not stayed at a lot of those places, but I also don't care for road trips. I do spend hundreds of nights a year in a hotel.
I would think that space close to WDW would be very spendy, ergo, you'd pay for parking. Or like in Vegas, there's a resort fee of say $35 most places I've stayed and I know parking is outrageous on the strip. I'm sure if you go outside of that, its not as pricey, but it seems, *to me*, incredibly normal.
I pay for parking at the mall...Not at Target. I don't eat at chain restaurants, but I eat out all the time and valet is more expensive to most places than Uber is, so paying for parking is certainly a thing on a normal evening.
In short, *I* don't get the outrage. I hate that they're charging more, but being upset about itemizing the increase seems like splitting hairs. If you want to say the Swolphin was X for me total and the BC was Y for me total seems fair, but being upset about the way in which they charge (resort fee vs. base cost) is just *shrug*...again, TO ME. I don't have the same experience on these boards that everyone else does, and ya'll don't have mine. These boards sure would be boring if we did! Also, I couldn't get reservations at Bluezoo, Swan, and Spice Road Table nearly as easy...
