We weren't charged at AKL. When we went down to settle our bill when we checked out we double checked and they didn't see any charges for parking so
So, are they charging or not? Update please.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Original booking date - we recently returned from a trip in which I had modified our reservation (booked prior to March, but two modifications after March), and were not charged. When I asked about this at check in, the CM confirmed that she saw my original date and we wouldn't be charged.I have a question that I haven't seen addressed yet.
We booked before the March changeover, so we should not have any parking fees. However today I modified our reservations. Same resort, just added a day and changed room category.
Does this count as our booking date, or does our original booking date still count?
No... Actually it was exactly one day after the cut off. The cast member on the phone when I booked even made it a point to tell me about the parking fee at checkout.Did you make your reservation before the parking charge was announced?
I'm happy for you, but this "some people get charged while others don't" policy is infuriating. I could understand letting those with club level rooms slip by the charge, but when two people are standing next to each other checking out, both with rooms booked post cut-off and one is charged an additional fee the other isn't, it feels like favoritism. (Honestly I don't know why it upsets me, I'm DVC. Just trying to look out for the little guy, I suppose.)No... Actually it was exactly one day after the cut off.

I agree. I was just sharing my experienceI'm happy for you, but this "some people get charged while others don't" policy is infuriating.

A friend and I are planning to drive separately to disney. We are sharing a room, and will be on one reservation. Would we both have to pay parking fee? If so, we may try and drive together, even though it's quite a bit of extra driving.
