I sent an email to Guest relations and Disney execs. Please make your voices heard. Maybe if we all express our views they will reconsider.
Emails sent. Short and to the point expressing my displeasure at their decision and second guessing our recent purchase of season passes for our family. I'm sure it won't matter but I feel better sending it.

The resort rates disappeared. There were there earlier. The system was glitchy earlier so it might just be an old cache - or not.

Umm me! I’ve gone to Universal and combine with SeaWorld for 10 day trips. Used to add in Aquatica, but that was before Universal built their own water park. Not all 10 days are park days, being on the west coast travel eats into 2 days. Don’t arrive till late afternoon, and leave usually by 1 or 2 for airport returning home. We also like our mid day breaks and have a relaxed touring plan.Although I have not been there yet so I don't know but is it really fair to compare Universal and Disney? I don't know anyone who says I am going to Orlando for 10 days to go to Universal. I always hear of people saying I am going to go for a couple days while I am in Orlando for Disney.

Universal resorts are a step above WDW. Their value resorts are more like WDW moderates with nice pools with slides, lazy river...bowling alley, rooftop bar.
The moderate is like WDW deluxe, and their deluxe are really deluxe. We’ve stayed at Hard Rock and Portofino.
And their prices are lower. Even with paid parking.
Ugh this is all so sketchy. Im scheduled to speak with a CM tomorrow. I was hoping to hear they decided not to do it after a previous poster had mentioned a CM told them it was a test.
Right .. they aren't going to back down. Some accountant somewhere has already figured the increased revenue into the budget. And an item like this is pretty guaranteed revenue -- they can just go to any one of their parking lots right now and just see $$ above each car.I feel like they'll stick by it and see if it really affects the revenue when all is said in done. I mean the public often kicks and screams at all sorts of things, but I feel like businesses (and politicians) hope for short memory and at the end of the day they get what they want with little hurting them at the end of the day...I hope I'm wrong!
I mean a lot of rooms would have to stay vacant for them not to make a lot of money off of daily guest resort parking fees. That's a lot of people not just getting angry but also cancelling vacations and staying off property.
