Not gonna lie, the quick change from the "i'd never stay outside the Disney bubble" folks to an off property exodus over a $14/night fee is pretty darn amusing.
I am glad you are amused. I hope it comes to pass. Charging for parking at the resorts is a low blow, and something I find extremely offensive (just like resort fees) and if the trips I already have booked were not grandfathered in, so to speak, then I would have to cancel one of them to afford the parking on the other two. Most of us have a set travel budget and can’t absorb additional costs without making a cut somewhere else. My first cut would probably be dining. I would bring more food with me, and drop my on property dining down each day by the amount of the parking. I hope they lose a substantial part of their business, especially those who live within a radius where flying isn’t practical. These are the same folks who kept them going after 9/11 and during the big recession. If Disney treats them badly, there won’t be anyone there to bail them out when the going gets tough. My AP expires right after my last trip this year, and I will be thinking hard about whether Disney gets those 44 nights of vacation time they have been every year. At best, they will be getting fewer of those nights, and they may get none of them.
