News Walt Disney World to resume complimentary parking at its resort hotels

[note2001]

Happy to see these fees go away.
There is hope that Disney is swinging back toward being more magical and less "Let me see your wallet first".

…I’m gonna laugh cause I hope you’re kidding

No, always wanted one as a kid

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Has hell frozen over?

It’s a good move…and a really obvious, no pain one to make

With time, the damage done by doing it in the first place may be forgotten

 

[ToTBellHop]

I guess Bob really felt the costs were out of hand.

 

[Lilofan]

Bob just wants you to be happy.

But seriously, glad this is back to normal.

I’d be celebrating with more rounds at the bar in the resort tipping the bartender well.

The best way to extract money from a guest is to do so without the guest knowing. Seems like the bean counters who implemented this forgot this.

I agree, we’re all jaded Disney fans, but it does feel nice and Iger’s optics look good (for now).
You DO have to agree that it’s the little things that makes people smile…even though we don’t use it, I’d like to see Magical Express return as well…

It’s been a pretty good week…Tron opening date, those Harmonious fan barges going to the scrap heap, HEA returning, free guest resort parking. FWIW, NICE!!

I will say, while DME will never come back, there is clearly something in the water. Lets get weird! Say they could cut a deal with Sunshine Flyer where qualifying visits (ie 4 night non discounted minimum) gets you on those buses for free.

Well there seems to be a really effort here to make up some of the wrongs. Looking forward to see what else there is.

I have a feeling there's more than we know right now...

So is this Iger?

Or has Josh run round and torn down some of the Chapek era. Burnt it, then stamped on it. Whilst singing Happily Ever After?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

…anyone want to play a pool on when Bob resets annual pass sales? I got 2/19 and the under

 

[Tha Realest]

You got an ego maniac in “image repair desperation mode”

In a way…you could never trust him more than now.


But all this seems to be recession bracing moves…why “generous” in January?

I bet their advance bookings are $&@! For this year and beyond

I hate to be overly cynical. But, the suddenness of all these disparate moves (Disney dining promo, local ticket promo, loosening AP restrictions, throwing in Photopass with G+, and now this) does smack of pushing some buttons to reverse trends they’re seeing, and in a way that helps them forego certain revenue streams.

 

[Hakunamatata]

Maybe the pressed penny machines will only cost one cent.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

LFG!!!!

…you never stopped

Combination of both? Iger to Josh - what can we do super quick that can turn the tide a little?

It doesn’t seem like there’s a legitimate way to doubt that at this point.

Hey…I’m a clown…and I know it seems like I just ramble…most of the time

But usually I don’t ramble. I think fast and this stuff is contemplated before I post it…I swear

What do we call the opposite of declining by degrees?

Maybe happier guests will spend more and some may get more into credit card debt?

 

[Horizons '83]

Bravo. Mentioned in the Harmounious thread that you got to give credit where its due. No Barges in the lagoon, and reinstating free parking are big wins so far this year.

“Josh” is a no power mouthpiece. Because that’s the job requirement

This is image repair for big shot Bobby.
