Why is that a shame? That is the policy, if you have a placard, you don't get charged.That's a shame.

Yeah, I personally don't think any hotel anywhere should be allowed to charge for parking. Give a discount off the room for those that don't bring a car if you want, but the posted price should include all taxes and fees, including parking for the appropriate number of vehicles for the number of people in the room.Sorry, I wasn’t clear - I think the policy itself is a shame.

Ok, rant over.
No, they have to make it free for disabled because they don't have enough infrastructure to handle that many ecvs and wheelchairs on their transportation system and making the parking free for them reduces the load.But if they’re going to charge, everyone should pay, disabled or not.

DCV members don't pay when staying on points at any resort or via any methods at DVC resorts because it is part of their contract
There could also be some legal issues with charging handicapped people to use the handicapped parking required by State Law and the Federal ADA.No, they have to make it free for disabled because they don't have enough infrastructure to handle that many ecvs and wheelchairs on their transportation system and making the parking free for them reduces the load.

Well........Federal ADA does not address parking charges. It does not appear that Disney is required by any state or local law to provide free parking for disabled placards

but that they choose to do so.
Yes, legally they don't have to make it free (at least from a federal standpoint, not sure about Florida laws), but from an operational standpoint they do in order to make everything work properly for everyone.Not everyone with a handicap placard is in a wheelchair or ECV.
They don’t have to make it free for the disabled, they choose to make it free, for some reason.

Yes, but I also think their though is maybe they will have fewer people that might rent a car and instead use Magical Express, which will keep them on property and spending even more money than the parking fees would generate. Still a cash grab either way, but I do tend to wonder if that is the case.Kind of a disincentive for folks who use a car to stay on property at all.
