The resort gate security CM now use a handheld device to check for dining reservations.Go to a on property resort and tell them you have a "Breakfast/lunch/dinner" reservation and then catch a Disney bus.
Wonderful... it's about time that they find a way to enforce their own rules. As someone said, you can park at DTD and ride a bus to a resort and then catch another bus to the parks, Disney doesn't mind at all. You, however will have spent an easy three hours of your day just getting there and getting back. If your time is worth nothing it's a good plan. I do not think it is worth it. $17.00 seems like a lot (and it is) but, it is so much more convenient to just cough it up and enjoy your day.The resort gate security CM now use a handheld device to check for dining reservations.

Does anyone know if Disney do any sort of 'Holiday Parking Ticket' at discounted price or anything? Basically don't really want to have to pay $17 every day we visit a park but I suspect there is no way around this?
DO NOT take this option.first of all its not allowed.second you would be taking away spots from legitimate resort guests and dining guest.third if everyone did this there would no place for actual resort guest.last but not least if you cant afford 17 dollars why are you going to the parks at all.Go to a on property resort and tell them you have a "Breakfast/lunch/dinner" reservation and then catch a Disney bus.
If it is a non busy period you will be let in. If it is busy you will be denied access. Only resort guests and those with confirmed dining reservations will be allowed to park.What if some one says they are eating at a quick service?
Nowhere in my original post did I say we couldn't afford it. Just rather not pay it!
However, looks like we will as there is no other option.
Park at Downtown Disney and catch a bus.
