Yes. APs still have free parking @ the parks though (knocks on wood).
Not to derail, but can you add someone to a reservation for a single night only, though? What if you are staying, say, seven nights but you have someone visiting for only one night? What is the technically correct way to handle that?Technically, if someone is staying overnight, you need to add them to your reservation.

I was told once that if you are staying with a package then everyone staying in the room would need to have the same exact package (mealplan, park tickets, etc.) but if it is a room only reservation there may be more flexibility regarding guests in the room for a portion of the stay.Not to derail, but can you add someone to a reservation for a single night only, though?

Walk them to the front desk when they get there, and add them as a "day guest". As long as you are not exceeding the room occupancy limits, they will add them, usually with no extra adult charge, and they will ask if they should be allowed to use their Magicband for room access and if they should have charging privileges.Not to derail, but can you add someone to a reservation for a single night only, though?

No, she doesn't. If she tells the guard she's there to visit a friend at the hotel, she'll be fine and not subject to the nightly parking fee. With that being said - the parking policy might suggest that she *should* be paying it, but the actual execution and enforcement of the overnight parking policy suggests otherwise.

I think this is accurate. For example, we recently drove to the Boardwalk Hotel for dinner. We were not charged parking. Obviously, we left following dinner, but theoretically, had the car remained overnight, the chances of the resort determining that the car did not belong to a registered guest is slim. I mean, I guess the resort could go through each car to ensure each car has a parking pass, but that's a risk that she can likely safely take.
I've wondered about that. I frequently fall into the day guest category. Monorail resorts are a bit tougher but all others are pretty easy. Lately, I've just shown ID, AP and off I went. Nothing was written down, nothing was scanned. Just said "I'm visiting" and was waived through.
Now, I usually stay a couple of hours and I'm out. But what is Disney's fail safe for a family that is "visiting" AKL. Parks their car, walks around the resort for half an hour and then boards the bus to AK? Theoretically, If they arrive at the resort at 10am and leave the resort at 7pm. What happens?
