You know they like to play around with the park hours. We can make ADRs in a couple weeks and I'm hoping they will be accurate enough to predict the MNSSHP so I can get BoG. As for DTD, we used to drive over as well. Now, we just haul the stuff back on the boat or the bus. I imagine a lot of people grab the free parking there. Maybe they will offer FL resident parking passes like APs or free parking for resort guest with their parking sheet.
I don't think Disney will charge for parking at DTD.
Most malls and outlets in the US don't charge for parking (unlike in Brazil where almost all of them do!), even Universal's Citywalk doesn't charge for parking after a certain time to allow people to come eat, drink and shop.
Disney wants people to enjoy DTD even if they don't go to the parks. Of course, there is the problem that, even though there are no direct buses from DTD to the parks, people can get to a hotel and from there to a park. We did this several times last trip instead of using Pop Century as our hub: AK to DTD through Port Orleans, DTD to AK through Saratoga Springs and Epcot to DTD through the Boardwalk.
What they might do is this: charge a smaller parking fee compared to the parks and allow people who parked at the parks to park for free and of course resort guests should be able to park for free at DTD just like they do at the parks.
I was thinking along the same line, if you are a resort guest or have a stub from parking at one of the parks lots, it would be free, of course I'm sure the will have a section for employee's of DTD, and everyone else would pay a small fee (I would think between $3 - $5


What I did find really interesting is a option on how it will be paid for
