The hotels are NOT owned by Universal. They belong to the Loews group who operate them for Universal.

cant be bothered to read 28 pages but yes its expensive and seems to go up a $ a year i can recall it being $10 in 2007...

one handy hint, have a change bag full of coins/shrapnel and when you get to the pay booth explain its your last day and you are going to use up all your change with them

if its really busy the operator 'may' let you in for free rather than count all the change

allegedly

So, related question, if Disney did do a week long parking pass how much would people expect to pay for it? I assume $119 (7 x $17). And for two weeks $238 (14 x $17).

Or would folk expect to see a slight reduction due to "bulk buying", as it were?

People that buy 4 day MYW or 5 day hoppers won't want to pay 7 days, I think paying on the day is best, but if they do a parking pass they do them for as many days as people have tickets for.

I was thinking that people going for less than a week (say) would just pay on the gate for parking as normal. Whereas people going for 1 week or 2 weeks (eg. many Brits) might want to prebuy a 1 week or 2 week parking pass.

So, based on your last comment, for folks buying a 14 day Ultimate tickets (which is the majority of Brits) they would get a 14 day parking pass?

We're looking into going in Nov'15 and Oct '16, buying annual passes for the both of us which will cover the two trips thereby saving us shed loads in car parking costs.
