Question for the forum. I have a split stay at WDW, on 11 Jun I will be staying at the All Star Movie on the 12 Jun will be moving to Shades of Green (which is on Disney property). Does any one knows if I still qulify for free parking on 12 Jun?(SOG does not qualify for free parking)

a quick search shows that you have to pay parking if staying at Shades of Green but they do have complimentary bus transportation for guest. I think you still can use free parking since check out isn't until 11am

If the 12th is your check out day from ASM, you'll still be able to park for free with the old pass.

Yes, you qualify for free parking June 12 and June 13 because of your ASmo stay on June 12. You're considered an onsite guest for check-in and check-out days. (regardless of where you move to.)

When I stayed at SoG in 2006 parking at the parks was free... this sounds strange to me.

Wow things have changed... check out the http://www.shadesofgreen.org/FAQ.htm

but like people said check in and check out days are still free parking, I know the Monday we check out we will still be going to the parks.

If anyone is planning to have time to use the Periscope app during SSW can you post you twitter name so I can follow?
Thank

 

[Candleshoe]

Thanks!

Welcome. What I wrote is true, but I missed that you were staying on June 11, so you get parking June 11 and June 12 (not 12 & 13 like I originally said).

^^ Ok the above parking chat remands me... this is the first year that I have had a rental car after the Magic Band switch. How does this work now... do you use your magic bands to access the parking now?

Yes, they change the free parking policy for SOG a while back.

Yes. You show your MB and they may not even scan it and wave you into the lot.

Yep. Or if annual pass use your yellow card and id.

It's wild that they changed that, do SoG guests still get Magic Hours?

for AP I've only shown my AP and they just wave me in, the only 2 parks where they are actually checking ID is AK and Epcot.

yes they do

 

[The Sunrise Student]

I know when I stayed at Shades of Green some of my traveling companions would cheat, walk across to the Polly and just get on the monorail

Yes, the guest still get the Magic Hours but not Magic Bands, that is why I'm doing the split and get the MB with the 60 days early scheduale option. Did not want to miss the SW shows.
