I’m super cereal - I’ve only been going about 5 years regularly but in just that short amount of time it’s amazing what they’ve cut back on while simultaneously increasing prices and have outright killed the magic in the parks. That’s just the parks - resort costs have quadrupled to the point where a nights stay in a parking lot view is equivalent to a penthouse suite in Vegas!
And even that wasn’t enough money so they instituted nightly parking fees!
And people are still paying it!
I could almost understand if they were still offering a premium level of service - but they’re not.
I was talking to a guy who lives there. He lived near Epcot in one of the first neighborhoods near it years ago, but has since moved to another area. He said what a lot of people were doing was parking in the hotels parking lot then taking the free shuttles to the parks to avoid paying for parking. All of the parks depend on their parking revenue so this stopped that slick move, but at the expense of actual hotel guest so it doesn't quite seem fair.
