If they ever find a way to play music on each message thread, I think they should play the soundtrack from Hee Haw to accompany this group of postings.
I mean is this a joke?
Am I actually reading posts offering tips on how to abuse the parking system? Did I really just see a post lamenting how inconvenient it will be now that you actually have to park in the same lot with 25,000 people who are dumb enough to follow the rules. Cue the Deliverance music.
This behavior is no less ethical than people sleeping at a Motel 6 at night, and then coming to swim at your Disney resort during the day. Would you like that? Would you be irritated if you couldn't find a seat by your pool because everyone at the Days Inn heard that Disney wasn't checking IDs?
Anyone who can see a difference between that analogy and what you're doing is simply rationalizing trailer park behavior and poor social skills.
Instead of asking yourself the best way to beat the system or why Disney would limit resort parking to actual resorts guests, why not ask yourself this common-sense question: What if everyone did this? I'm sure that every guest in the park would like to park closer (and for free) to the parks, and skip the trams altogether. Are they not doing it because they're dumber than you? Or because they're smarter, more courteous, more dignified?
Thank God most people aren't as selfish as you. As someone who has stayed at the monorail resorts, and struggled to find a parking spot, I can honestly say your behavior is nothing short of small-minded, selfish behavior.
When people save enough money to actually stay at a $300 a night hotel I feel they are indeed entitled to privileges that not everyone can enjoy. Even if you're staying at another deluxe resort it doesn't mean you're entitled to every single privilege at every single resort.
For those of you with meal reservations, too bad. Disney never said you are entitled to free all-day parking and Grand Floridian transportation just because you stopped off to have a sandwich with Tigger.
As a matter of fact, parking abuses such as these has prompted Disney hotels to distribute three-hour parking permits for guests coming to the resorts to dine only. Yet another regulation that Disney had to create (and fund) because people constantly think they are entitled to every perk on property. But these will be the same people who complain what rates go up, or when Disney has to charge for parking. I'm willing to bet that not only were many of you not only parking in the resort lots, but you probably took advantage of the free valet service too.
When I stay at the cheaper resorts I limit my activity to the perks to which Im entitled. When I stay at the luxury resorts I expect everyone else to do the same. This way I dont have fight for a parking spot, or anything else that Im paying for in the first place.
This whole thread is shameful and you all should be embarrassed for publicly discussing such white-trash behavior. The fact that someone has to point this out suggests that you won't even understand this post in the first place. So, more than likely, this has been a waste of time.
But because your behavior suggests thickheaded reasoning skills, I'm glad Disney has instituted parking limits; I'm glad they're towing cars. For the same reason I'm glad when I see trespassers getting kicked out the pools.
Which is why so many people, myself included, are now alerting property managers when they see such crass behavior.
I gotta go. I just found out my local Embassy Suites is having a free buffet for their guests, and I'm pretty sure I can sneak in.
