I can understand if Disney wanted to charges fees to park at Disney Springs (unless that is now pay for parking and I"m not aware of it?) but to charge resort guests is horrendous. I can see charging for people who want to "visit the resort" for dinner, and then to do whatever...but come on, guests staying there? I live 5 hours away. I drive down twice a year. I drive into the resort.....and my car stays there 24/7. I do NOT leave the property to go "outside" for dinner or anything.

Aren't we saving the company money but NOT using Magical Express? I mean, if I could fly and save, I would, but I only live a 5 hour drive away.

I think this fee is very unfair.
 
OK, but before this thread is removed.....do people who have APs need to pay to park at the parks now? Next year I might stay offsite and then drive to the parks. I think parking now is free if you have an AP. What will happen next?

So far it looks like AP will have to pay for overnight resort parking. I believe you can still park at the parks for free.
