Here we go again......Resort parking if for those actively using that resort....staying there, eating there, shopping there. Park access?? Yeah, not so much. You want to leave your car at the Polynesian and head off to the MK for the day? Pay to valet park your car. Same goes for CR, GF, BW, YC/BC. Those that are paying a lot of money to stay in these resorts are paying for the perk of park proximity. Why in heaven's name do some feel it's their right to park anywhere they want to, regardless of where they have paid to stay??
It's always a lot of fun to watch the BW guest parking lot empty out at 9:30/10pm...right after IllumiNations!!! Those guests arriving home, at BW, for the night, have to drive around and find a further removed spot since the close up spots are full. Then, IllumiNations ends and there are plenty of spots. Gee, wonder why that is?? Same thing happens at BLT...I like to sit on my balcony and watch people walking back to their cars, parked close to the walkway to MK, and get in them and drive away..right after the park closes for the night.
I wish Disney would make anyone not paying to stay in the resort pay a parking fee...they could get their parking voucher stamped in the resort if eating...as long as they weren't there for over 2 hrs, they could park for free, with that validation.
