I'm prepared for everyone to tell me how wrong I am, but I'm going to keep beating this drum. Disney does not want you to pay the parking fee, they want you to skip renting a car. They'd be thrilled if the "Resort Parking Fee Revenue" line went to zero because it means all of their guests are captive and reliant on them for transportation, F&B, merchandise, and recreation.
This isn't about a few extra dollars in fees, it's an attempt to change guest behavior.
There will be a bathroom fee in SWGE. $5 for #1; $10 for #2.The second price increase today. Waiting to see if there is a third...
Absolutely right. They want a 100% captive audience. It started with DME, continued with the parking fee. Too bad renting a car and paying to park (well, we're DVC so we don't pay the parking fee... yet...) is still FAR cheaper than paying Disney food prices.![]()
Mickey wants you to leave your car at home. He'll carry your luggage from the airport, however.We're going in February 2020. Believe me, it's not my choice. If I had my way I would never step foot on Disney property again. The penny and nickeling that they did for decades is now $10 here, $25 there. Apparently, the parking lots haven't been paying for themselves. If I'm going to pay $25 to park my car for a full week and never move it Mickey better be carrying my luggage up to my room!
If you live that close, there isn't yet a fee to walk to WDW, so that's an option.A lot of us don't have a choice. We live too close to fly there, and my main reason for going to Disney is the resorts so staying off-site sorta defeats the purpose. We're just taking a year off of Disney and trying to enjoy some other places in Florida to stay.

I didn't get charged at Caribbean in May. Not sure why. Didn't ask. But I did have a Passholder deal.This really is absurd. Just inching up costs for everything across the board. Seems small, but just for parking, a long weekend visit costs $100 more than it did just 2 years ago. Do passholders get free parking at the resorts still?
