It can cost WDW next to nothing to enforce ---Hire one night security guard at minimum wage to walk the parking lot looking for cars without paper parking passes (issued at check in) with the date of arrival and the checkout date. Ticket, boot,tow cars without passes and those expired One guard 8 hour shift $100 All the rest of the parking fees profit.

All those guys probably saw Fritz Lang's Metropolis and thought to themselves "Hey, that's a pretty sweet place to live with the flying cars and androids and ivory towers" ignoring the fact that, you know, the workers lived in literal fire pits.

They don't give you that parking pass any more. I was told it was mainly for free parking in the parks.

We were there in May 2017 CBR and they issued a parking permit had to put it on the dash of my truck. When did they stop parking passes?
We havent been issued one in the last few trips (2018), which made me wonder how they enforce or even know which guests are supposed to pay fr parking?
I haven't gotten one in over two years.
I imagine the guard at the gatehouse indicates something in a computer when you first arrive - Guest Jones has a car. And resort staff will look at your reservation to see the type - DVC or cash, according to a manager I asked.

So even the parking guard will know the fake name I used to register??
You should investigate Florida law before you start doing that...

Odd. We were at Art of Animation in September, 2017 and got one.
“Guest Jones” is my actual name. Confusion galore if that becomes the WDW parking fee advoidance “name du jour”.
You honestly think Disney is going to "ticket, boot and tow" cars for families on vacation? Nothing says family vacation like a Minnievan ride to the impound lot.

Below is the average published rate increase for the last few years:
The parking fee won't affect these but will increase the Per Room Guest Spending (PRGS) metric that Disney reports quarterly.

Wow, I did think it was crazy when I just recently booked an AP rate at Pop for $150/night. This shows just how huge the increases have become.

That ad would never be an advantage for me. I cancel/change dates/have things come up way too often to book a non refundable vacation, anywhere.
