News WDW Resorts to add fees for parking

[Lets Respect]

I get as annoyed as anyone with the constant price increases, but this one seems like a no-brainer to me. I never like paying more, but I'm only surprised they haven't done this sooner. Maybe because we stay offsite a lot and most of the offsite hotels have resort fees and parking fees.

As long as you look at your final total, you should be able to compare prices. If you are bringing a car, check parking prices.

The nastiness by some people here is so incredible. I (kind of) understand it on a political site..but a Disney one? Day after day after day..same people spouting off same nastiness.

I do have to wonder, Is there perhaps any kind of coincidence that this little bundle of joy group are the ones who have such bad experiences at WDW...

I disagree with a lot of things that @Bocabear and @SorcererMC write...and I'm sure they feel the same about me. Sometimes we agree, most of the time we don't. Disagreeing isn't always an argument or cause for juvenile name calling. It's definitely not a cause for attack.

Complaining about the complainers. You are not the first to pass this way, nor shall you be the last.

I've been going to WDW for over 30 years. Sometimes I stay onsite, sometimes off. I prefer to stay onsite.

When I stay onsite, Disney gets my:
Hotel money
breakfast money
lunch money
dinner money
after hours drink money
pretty much all my vacation money except gas

When I stay offsite, Disney gets my:
lunch money
park parking fees

As I have stated before, I will not pay resort fees or hotel parking fees on top of everything else I'm giving them.

The pink font is ..... ~interesting~.

And I just love when posters think they know so much about a complete stranger on the internet that they can tell them what they can and can't budget for with "no problem"?

I wouldn't have a problem with someone using pink font for their own words, but to color someone else's words other than the original color is really odd, I have to say, especially when questioning the original poster's personal experience.

Do you guys think we could get Congress or the media to look into the font color?

 

[drizgirl]

Goodness. Such an uproar over font color. I just thought it was an interesting choice. And I'm not sure but I think I was called names just for questioning it. Such strong feelings.

Did anyone on the "last ride" of Maelstrom scream "ACTUALLY WE ARE THE LAST" while wiping away the tears?

... Of course had it been me those would have been tears of joy. I still can't decide which was a worse/more insulting ride- Maelstrom or Superstar Limo. Then again I got a bit of a ride through on Superstar Pinto before many of the celebutronics were installed and the narration was finished- it was much more pleasant of an experience before it was completed.

I'd wager it was a sarcastic remark. Either that, or it was one of the best @Chef Mickey impersonations I've seen from another member.

So your whole 6 weeks of membership gave you a pretty good idea? I've never wanted to keep the "poor" away from WDW. My contention has always been crowd control and overcrowding detracting from the Disney experience. If Disney refuses to give us meaningful expansion, the only other way to control crowds is through increased pricing.

 

[wdisney9000]

And others spouting the same thing over and over again. Different side of the same coin....

I believe the person in question feels that the complete redundancy of their posts is somehow off set by referencing a random vacation in each post. Same post, different vacation as a reference.

Ive contacted Alex Jones. He is pretty sure the Illuminati and NWO are behind it. David Icke thinks it is the Reptillians.

 

[ford91exploder]

The letter 'requested written response' to his questions. That was it. Disney (as would most) entities responded out of judgement, not because they are obligated to. And there never was any committee action on it, nor threat of it. So in summary.. much ado about nothing.

Yes but at the time Iger was not part of a hated administration AND he was a huge donor to Markey's party, So I think fireworks will be forthcoming.

Are you sure the 'Tall Whites' are not involved somehow...

 

[Chef Mickey]

Why are you crying about $30 on vacation? if you're worried about how much parking is or the valet, you should just stay at home and whine about how much AT&T, Apple, and your TV/internet provider are nickel and diming you (way worse than Disney, BTW).

You guys must not be shareholders or work in a for profit company. EVERY company tries to make money from its customers. But guess what else they do? Provide a service that you want. Stop buying it and they'll change. Until then, this is just business....all business.

I think some people at Disney troll a lot of the message board whiners who fail to realize Disney is a for profit business. Harsh reality, businesses try things based on bad ideas sometimes. Oh well, they try, they fail, they move on. You can sit and complain all day about "cash grabs" or whatever but you arent going to change it and do nothing but make yourself miserable in the process. Can we be critical of decisions made? Sure. But, geez the incessant whining by some of you has got o amuse people at Disney.

This is probably the primary reason I want fewer people at Disney. I don't want people going to Disney who are mad before they go about "how expensive it is." That's actually why I want to price those people completely out. There is nothing more annoying than complainers while you're on vacation. You hear it there all the time, particularly on the buses after a long day at the parks with a lot of spending.

People are nasty, unfortunately. Look how people act when they don't get their way in politics. Ultimately, I just want to go to Disney to have fun and be a kid. If it costs a little more, I'm happy to pay it because I know I'm getting a great experience with a great cast. The way I hear people speaking to cast members makes me physically sick at times. Those are the kind of people I want limited.
