2010 figures show roughly 30000 parking spaces in Disneyworld - that's $660000 per day at maximum occupancy .
I wonder if they are doing this as they would rather people stayed on-site and avoided such charges

Nah- they are already at 91% average occupancy in the hotels- much of the time they are booked up.

It is just a huge revenue generator. The figures above will be overstated as AP holders, those on site, DVC owners staying on site etc get 'free' parking, as well as it is often not at max capacity, but I reckon they'll be making $400k out of it on average, a not to be sniffed at $146,000 000 a year.

The parks are a money printing machine at the moment, and with Star Wars opening, only a major recession will put the brakes on it.
