The parking charge thing should just be rolled up in to the room rate, however it’s clearly being done for a psychological reason.
1. Increase Room for 14 nights by £350 (moderate) and people will notice it but might not pay too much attention. 2. Say the £350 is for parking and there is furore. People then don’t take a car and you are suddenly paying over twice as much for all of your food etc. As much as I dislike it, I also admire the research and trickery! |

I booked in the $300 gift card window so am using that to cover parking charges and will have change left over.
I did look at staying at hotels near Disney but between transparent resort fees and parking balanced against the free dining, gift card and convenience- the Disney masterminds won out 😊 |

I see Universal raised their prices for parking to $26.
Unusual as Disney tend to be first. Mmm, I can smell an increase in the wind.

You make it sound like the Disney hotels were the first to come up with the idea of charging to park and separating the charge out from the room rate in order to discourage people from using their car.
Many hotels around the world already do this and have done for years. Some also have a daily resort fee and/or additional charges to use the wi-fi. If anything, Disney is being a bit slow to introduce these things and I'm surprised they didn't add a parking fee years ago (I'm also surprised they haven't included a resort fee as was rumoured a couple of years ago).

Wonder when Disney will take the Vegas approach and stick a resort fee on the rooms too

Mr Tom stays at a value first night then moves to SSR. As he has DVC, he doesn’t pay for parking there.
Happy to be corrected Mr T, I’m not stalking you, honest
