I noticed that.

I may get blasted for this, but I would rather they charge for theme park parking than resort parking. There are more ways to “avoid” the parking charges at the theme parks - Disney transportation, Minnie Vans, Uber/Lyft, being an AP holder/DVC. And, if you are not going to a park one day (or several days), you don’t pay.

I agree. It definitely makes more sense than charging for resort parking.

I wonder if parking revenue has declined because of ride share apps?? And this is their way of making up for that decline?

Maybe the whole "charge for resort parking" was just a primer to get people to accept charging resort guests for driving to the parks. . .

Well they moved it to the resorts pages hidden under the "amenity" tab .............. couldn't even man up on it.

And if you try to book a trip, and pull up rate details .......... it is not following "industry standard" to display extra fees on that page.

I imagine it will come back to that page after March 21. If it doesn't, that is really shady trying to hide it.

AND some folks have compared the before and after .......... the line that says Disney Hotel Guests park for free at the theme parks is GONE. This is going to be a real problem for some if true.

I am still hopeful, based on the fact the parking page says its complimentary for resort guests at resorts. I wonder if its just going to take time to come down at the resort pages, or if, as you say, it will come back on the main page on the 21st.

As for the resort guest parking at the parks ... DAMN. That's cold.

Here in DFW you have to pay a toll when you drive onto airport property, I wouldn't put it past them to do it at WDW!!

ouch, Disney is seriously getting out of control in pricing and all there fees

 

[rteetz]

Has Disney backtracked on its decision to charge for resort parking?

I totally agree!

And it was never assumed parking was built into the price of your theme park ticket.

That was suggested here in Boston, but it was very quickly shut down due to outrage.

Well you are paying for parking now for theme parks and hotel parking. Disney is just making it easier for you by charging you at your resort then the booth. Saves on the line of cars at the booths trying to get cash out.
