Exactly. What makes you different from those 80? Why shouldn't I go stay there? Plus have a better breakfast at 80% of other hotels.

My response was basically, how can you now hold yourself above the rest, superior, different, the leader when you now align with the rest .... I did indicate that although I get that they are a for profit business, why not simply increase the resort fees, at some point, again, and simply earmark that increase to cover the parking fees .... why say "we are now making you pay to park" ..... I'll not get a response but I did say my peace ....

I feel like perhaps a more "user friendly" solution would be to offer on site guests EITHER use of magical express OR free parking. As previous posters have noted, they always drive and indirectly contribute to ME but don't use it. If someone does use ME and then also chooses to rent, charge a nominal fee to those guests. To me though, with the different fee according to level of resort, it's just a resort fee in disguise. Guests staying deluxe already pay 2-3x more for their room, they shouldn't have to also pay more for the spot their car occupies.

Well, at least with the extra fees, at least there are a lot of changes going on. Resort refreshes, new park aspects coming online (sw, ts, avatar ,etc).

Complete agreement.
Just went on disney's website and started to make a reservation, as a guest, not signed in. I was very disappointed that no where did the price reflect that there would be an additional charge for parking. So, if I was new to staying onsite, it could be a very unpleasant surprise that my stay is now substantially more. I hate when you don't know everything up front, totally unfair to the consumer to not know what is really being charged. BAD job Disney!!!!
Disney more times than I can remember.
Have stayed at Fort Wilderness, Fort Wilderness Cabins, Caribbean Beach, Dixie Landings, Port Orleans Riverside, Port Orleans French Quarter and Pop Century
