News WDW Resorts to add fees for parking

[Dr.GrantSeeker]

Agree. I can't imagine they could do that. I mean, don't you get charged at a lot of those places if you no-show?

$10 per-person on your reservation I believe.

At least, some are the full cost of the meal though so be careful to read the policies for each location. Marie

I read that it's 11:59 pm the night before, except for prepaid meals that require a longer cancellation notice. Note that I don't have personal experience with cancellations.

If I had an ADR and was denied parking at the resort where I was dining, my next meal at WDW would be free.

They almost always honor ARDs and obviously resort guests. If you don’t have an ADR but you say you are going to eat they are more likely to deny parking. In this case it may have been because of the race. If the lot was extremely full and they were worried that guests checking in wouldn’t have a spot I could see them not even letting ADRs in. If that’s the case they should direct you to the nearest resort to park. There are several with a short and pleasant boat ride to BW. If those aren’t available then maybe setup a mini Uber ride for you from a further resort. If not, I agree they should at least bump your ADR back to allow the extra travel time and maybe throw in a drink or appetizers for your trouble or possibly even monetary compensation if you have to skip the ADR because of lack of time.

one time on our last trip we forgot to cancel a reservation and i caught it a hour before. ended up moving it to 2 days later and then canceled it with no fees.

Good loophole. If you try to cancel the day of, they'll sock it to you.

We did this too in September.

when you call on the phone to do it I think it all depends on who you get. sometimes the day of if something arises and you cant make it someone nice will waive it etc, or just move it to a different date. Others, not so much.

Don't let Bob C hear about that. Hate to think what would happen if he thought they were missing collecting money.

 

[Disorbust]

Just curious if anyone really followed thru on the threat to move offsite?

 

[disneyflush]

I know a few people who did.

 

[wannabeBelle]

As do I. Marie

 

[Dave B]

By looking at the amount of, or should I say lack of hotel availability, I would venture to say not many

 

[John park hopper]

Our trip in May will be on site, however as i posted elsewhere our spending in the parks will be considerable less than in previous visits to compensate for parking fees, and all the other price increases too numerous to mention. Since we drive there is a lot we can bring with us so why pay WDW inflated prices

I am renting points going forward. No fee's doing that but if I am doing a quick overnight then I will stay on site.

Don't forget that they released discounts several months ago because of light occupancy for the fall. It took much longer than expected to fill up the hotels.

And people already booked when the announcement came got grandfathered in with no fees I believe.
