Does that happen too? Never heard that one. Mostly the Epcot resorts and the MK ones, and SSR obviously.Or parking at the All Stars and taking the bus to the parks.

yes all the time, they do not really care how long you park there you just have to show ID when you go in WHen I go there and coming back at night half the bus is talking about whos care they are going back to the hotel in. Took me a while to realize that they were off-site and just parking there for the day.Does that happen too? Never heard that one. Mostly the Epcot resorts and the MK ones, and SSR obviously.

This sort of amazes me because I thought they cracked down on this years ago. Is it only at the Deluxes they did this? Not for nothing, we did this back in the 90s (parked at Boardwalk to go to Epcot) but I heard it was no longer aloud. Seems odd they are going to force guests to pay to park but allow off-site folks to park all day for nothing. I wonder if the pay-to-park is part of this crackdown.
No, they do not care at the all-stars/ POP at all you just have to show ID and go park. I wish they would charge people if they stay longer then 2 or 3 hours ( like you pay when you go in you get a receipt and if you are gone within your 2 or 3 limits you can get your money back on the way out) but Disney will not do this they will make us pay that stay there the day guest will take up room on the bus making it a longer wait at the end of the day and they will park for free.This sort of amazes me because I thought they cracked down on this years ago.

AP get free parking at the park people that get like pass ( like a 5-day pass) and stay off-site at another hotel have to pay for parking at the park but not at the hotels ( and the all-stars/ POP ) does not care how long you park your car.So this wouldn't be like local AP holders correct? Since its no charge at the parks themselves?
Would it be off-site stays that have like a 5-day hopper or something to avoid the park parking fee?

Wonder if at a minimum allow those with AP park at the resorts, they obviously could park for free at a park anyway.
Of course it includes local AP holders. It's so much easier to park close rather than fight with the crowds heading to the TTC after a long day in the MK.So this wouldn't be like local AP holders correct? Since its no charge at the parks themselves?

Cost isn't the only factor. Convenience is also a huge motivator.AP get free parking at the park people that get like pass ( like a 5-day pass) and stay off-site at another hotel have to pay for parking at the park but not at the hotels ( and the all-stars/ POP ) does not care how long you park your car.
I think it is less then you think. You have to wait for the bus for 20 minutes and then when you coming back those busses are always an hour plus wait at the end of the night not too sure how much more convenient it is to park at the resorts for local AP holders. I know the Tim tracker parks at Dsieny springs and take the bus to the resorts when he does his resort tours but I think this is more because he like Disney springs and does some updated video there too. And I do remember another local vlogger parking at the resorts and taking the bus to one of the theme parks and saying how much of a bad idea it was. But I am sure there are a few local that park at the resorts for a number of reasons.Cost isn't the only factor. Convenience is also a huge motivator.
I totally understand the thought of wanting to 'ride' these but I hope it doesn't become an issue for those depending on those to actually get from their resort to a park to have much longer waits. Not saying I'd be above doing that myself, I won't know until it is here. I imagine the only real problem is someone who just wants to ride back and forth without getting off claiming 'they forgot something'.

I'm not talking about parking at resorts that require a bus ride. I'm talking about the ones in the MK and Epcot areas that are close enough to walk to the parks.I think it is less then you think.

But the difference is paying to be at the resort.... I can't believe there will be no charge for non resort guests... I'd be really ..upset.. if I pulled in to my resort and couldn't find parking because of day guests. Everyone knows the majority are working the system. Please plug the loophole....

Unless these are limited to just the resorts on the cable line, you can be sure there will be lots riding them that are not staying there.
When traveling between Epcot and DHS, we walk because the boats are not a positive experience .... add that gondola with a view and something new .... LOTS will use it to go between the two parks.
How many talk about going to ride the monorail just for fun, we took our kids to ride when they were small on a "down day" and they loved it. It is literally an attraction that has been placed outside of a park that folks can ride for free. People can literally go park at a resort, grab an ice cream treat and go do a round trip on the gondola for next to nothing. No parking fee, no requirement to eat and get a long attraction ride without a ticket.
Unless you need a AoA POP CBR Riveria MB to enter the Gondola queue, which is doesn't sound like, you can be sure this will be a popular destination for all Disney guests on or off property. Next thing they'll need is a FP+ line.
