| I can forgive them for putting the price of the parks up (just about), but I've never understood why they have to raise the parking fees too.
Although its only raised by $1 at a time, its quite a hike in percentage terms, around 14.3% this year.
Surely they make enough money from the parks, resorts, merchandise to cover it !
Rant over. |

If you have the 2 park 'preferred' annual pass you get free parking, its an extra 4$ for preferred parking, for valet parking you have to pay for the first 2 hours.

| | I THINK THE PARKING CHARGES ARE DISGRACEFUL AS THE PARK TICKETS SHOULD INCLUDE FREE PARKING! IT IS JUST ANOTHER MONEY MAKING BUSINESS WITH CAR PARKS. |

| | same here Tracy, we were quite shocked at having to pay for parking as well, if they were to just put a dollar or so on the entrance fee for parking instead and not two seperates !!!!!!! |

| Parking charges cheese me off so much that we always count all the change up and give it them in small change
9 times out of 10 they just waive you through as it's too much effort to count all that change
Worked every time we went to both Universal parks this year
Although I have to admit that I always make my good lady hand it over  |

We got an annual pass last year and when it came up for renewal there was a special offer on it was $99.00. You get free parking and 20% of all merchandise and dining in the park. When you work out what it is for a 3 day pass it is good value.

| I am sure that when we first visited Disney about 12 years ago the parking was free. I may be wrong but I cannot remember paying. I could be wrong can anyone confirm?

I cannot swear to it, but I am sure there were parking charges when we went for the first time to Orlando in 1991. We certainly paid in 1995 at Universal and Sea world, but were staying at Dixie Landings and so did not have to pay for the WDW parks. |

As far as I remember, we've always paid for parking in all the theme parks. I seeme to remember it was either $4 or $5 in 1994. |
