OKW Lover, thanks for posting this article...and mckennarose thanks for posting the link - very helpful! I am in the camp that feels like the resort fees are actually price gouging. I realize that in many major cities some hotels charge for parking (IF you have a car) but the resort fees at these tourist properties are basically mandatory. We always have to research to see if the hotels we choose in the WDW area charge resort fees. Personally, I feel they should all be bundled into the room price!
