I hear in related news...wdi is getting close to perfecting the square wheel
I saw something over the weekend that they will be running a test at Boardwalk to charge for parking for anyone not a Resort guest.
The same thing I saw said they ran a similar test at CR a few months back.
Now I can't remember where I saw it though
Nor did I see an amount that will be charged
And I was not clear on if they would allow those with ADR to park, or with an AP
Permits filed yesterday for Guard Shacks for AKL, YC, BC, OKW, POR, POFQ, CBR, AOA.
Well they have to do it at all resorts not just a few. I'd imagine people would park there to eat?I can see the draw of parking at all but CBR. What would draw people to park there?

Good question. I am sure that will be in the fine print when it comes out.By "who are not resort guests", do they mean of that specific resort or any Disney resort? I am asking, because we were planning on dropping DS at the kid's club at Poly and then getting some drinks at Trader Sam's. We wouldn't have a reservation, since TS doesn't take them. I guess they would let us in to drop off DS. We could also always park at the TTC for Poly. I don't really mind if people who don't stay at the resort have to pay to park there; however, it would definitely cut down on resort hopping and doing any QS or bars at the resorts.
On our last trip I heard people talking about staying offsite and parking there to use wdw transportation .. free is Free I guess..I can see the draw of parking at all but CBR. What would draw people to park there?

Maybe that's why we couldn't find parking spots at OPR when we stayed there in June?
Navigating Caribbean to avoid a fee to ride a bus that makes 9 stops isn't worth $20...IMHO

No, it can take up to 30 minutes to make the full loop around the resort.
That's an agreement, correct?
As long as they allow "resort hopping" I'm fine with it. Lot's of times we will drive to a WDW resort for dinner and then go watch fireworks and then return to our WDW resort.
I think adding Parking to the Florida Resident Annual Passes will help some with locals. But you still have lots of people that do off site resorts or time-shares that are looking to save money. In a five day trip parking is $100, that adds up....
Of course if they started using Magic Bands on the Buses and Monorails.... the long unenforced rules about "resort guest only" would solve most of those problems.
