Why not just park for free?

[slappy magoo]

Speaking of nits - it's BATED breath. Unless your putting fishing worms in your mouth or something.

Well, if that's all you've got to kvetch about, my plan must be brilliant

(waiting for someone to tell me I spelled "kvetch" wrong... :lookaroun

Another poll?

But, what if some people cannot really afford to pay for parking? Do you have the heart to maybe burst some small childs first time at Disney World over something so petty?

The way I look at it is that if you shell out all that money for tickets, and can't afford another $11 for parking, then, well, you can't afford to go to WDW. While I realize that for the type that would do this it would mean asking "Would like fries with that" for another couple of hours, that's their problem, not anyone else's.

Sorry it sounds so cold, but after doing my taxes, I can't stand freeloaders!

There's another perk: DTD should have security in parking lots anyway. Checking receipts & enforcing the time limits, while keeping the lots free of dealers thieves or gangs, helps cover the cost of hiring those security guards in the first place.

Your papers please!! I Vant to see your papers!!

Another poll?

Of course, but this one is not the average cut and dry, oh no, this one has lots of gray matter in between the lines...

Say you had just completed a long but fun day of shopping at Downtown Disney, and with packages in hand race to your bus stop to catch the next one to your resort. But, while waiting, you see a car of people stop in front of you, park, and get in line for your bus. Now thoughts run through your head that maybe, just maybe, these people are not resort guests and are just hitching a free ride to the parks. Chances are, this happens every day.

But, what if some people cannot really afford to pay for parking? Do you have the heart to maybe burst some small childs first time at Disney World over something so petty?

But...You paid to stay at the resort, and with that, paid for the right to use the system, not some freeloader.

It is a question of morals or circumstance?

You decide.

If you EVER see this happen, tell the driver. Once that happens the driver is to check for room keys from those guests. If they do not have keys they are to be removed.

Well, if I've spent a long day at DTD, then it's late at night. I don't care who is getting on which bus. How do I know they are going to the parks and trying to "park for free" for a few hours (if that much time, considering the travel times) before the park closes. Maybe, just maybe, they are locals who are parking and going to a resort for dinner, to be followed with a night at Cirque, PI and/or shopping. I think this thread is just here to start trouble.

TROLL ALERT!
I am waiting for the other polls:
Should people without children be allowed in WDW?
Should Brazillian tour groups be allowed at WDW?
Should Pop Warner groups be allowed in the parks?
Should people without children be allowed to go to Character Meals?
Should gay people allowed to go to WDW?
Should people with physical handicaps be allowed at WDW?
Should people who's first name starts with "J" be allowed at WDW?

 

[Gig 'Em Mickey]

Who cares. If they paid for the park ticket they get to use the bus. Or do you want to take monorail and ferry priveliges away too? As long as they're not trying to get on the bus going directly back to my resort at the end of the day I couldn't care less.

You appear to be someone who knows what he is talking about. Could you then address the following, please? Thanks.

So, I'm staying off-site. I park at MK. Go to the park. I have park-hopper tickets and I want to go to AK. Do you mean to say that I'm not allowed to use the bus? Ridiculous.

The busses are obviously there at a minimum for anyone who has park tickets OR is staying on-site.

Another scenario: I'm staying off-site. I'm not going to the parks today. I drop my kids off at Neverland (child care) in the Poly. I have dinner reservations at Cali at CR. I'm not allowed to take the monorail there? I have to move my car from the Poly to the CR and then back again because I don't have park tickets and I'm staying off site? Again, ridiculous.

Disney never intended to prevent people from using transportation in this way.

Yes, I'm a fool... but not deluted...


BTW...

This is the purpose of the instigating OP... All he wants is to see us at each others throats...

It's the only thing trolls always are up to...

 

[Disney05]

It would only bother me if the bus got so over crowded that we were packed like sardines because of it. Or I couldn't get on because it got full. Not that it never happens anyway, resort guest or not.

I don't have a problem with non-resort guests using the busses.

However, the argument that "what if they can't afford to pay for parking", IMO, is ludicrous. If they can afford 70 bucks a person to get into the park, then they can fork out 10 bucks per vehicle to park. If they are on vacation and staying off property, then if they can afford however much they're hotel costs, as well as their theme park admission, food, souveniers, etc, then they can pay 10 bucks a day to park.

Again, I personally don't have a problem if they take the WDW transportation. My wife and I did when we stayed off property and park hopped. Of course, in that case, we still payed for parking, but we just hopped a bus if we wanted to go to another park. I believe it is a service for anyone who has a park admission ticket (although we even rode the bus once when we didn't even have park admission, but that's another story. LOL). Just don't try to justify it with some cockenbull story about not being able to afford to park, when you obviously have plenty of money to go to WDW in the first place. :lol:

I guess they should stop using the "All WDW guests can use bus transportation" spiel on the parking lot trams, then.

 

[HRT+3]

What about this scenario, if we're not supposed to use buses at all, our timeshare offers a shuttle to Disney, which is at a fee, but would keep us from having to drive the truck every day, and at the price of deisel fuel, may actually be worth it. So once we get to Disney we're supposed to walk everywhere b/c we shouldn't be on the bus?
I agree, this poster is a troll, and I'll admit it's gotten under my skin, and that I shouldn't b/c that's what he wanted.

What if someone gave you a free ticket into the park and you had no money on you because you lost your last job and your wife kicked you out the house for cheating on her and you were about to climb on top of the monorail line and jump because your world had no more meaning and now all of a sudden you can go to the happiest place on earth and forget about your problems?

:lookaroun


I say we quit answering this guys polls..

 

[joanna71985]

its not like getting around paying for parking is hard...

If your going to the MK just tell the parking people you have reservations at the polynesian, they'll let you through.

11 bucks to park is ridiculios anyway

Just for 3 hours though. That's all you're allowed (and then not even that much during very busy time periods).

Then that person's car has probably either been repossessed for inability to make his next payment, or his wife took the car, or he doesn't have money to pay for gas to drive the car there. So he's either walked or hitch-hiked there, in which case he's not gonna be arguing that he must take the bus due to inability to afford to pay 10 bucks for parking. He's gonna have to take the bus or walk, since he ain't got no wheels of his own. :ROFLOL:
