    Hi Lyn..... I agree with Ceri....

    We have Disney Premium Annual passes & when staying "off" site we don't pay for parking. When staying on site, parking is not charged either....

    When you think more & more "Hotels" (including Swan & Dolphin, I think) are charging for parking, everyone is getting in on the act....

    I disliked paying to park at Gaylord Palms, having spent a fortune on tickets for ICE & SNOW last year..... but its just like the debate on tipping [msnwink]

    If you eat in one of the restaurants at Gaylord palms, they will validate your ticket for free parking.

    It also seems that the more you pay for a hotel room the more the parking charge is. The modest hotels usually have free parking (and free wifi) whereas the allegedly better places charge through through the nose for them.

    I stayed 1 night at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes last week and was charged $35 for parking and wifi on top of the already very high room rate. As far as parking is concerned, you don't really have any alternatives and they know it.

    That's one of our favourite Orlando hotels, mainly because of Primo's - did you manage a meal there during your stay?

    Sorry yes. just looked and the normal annual pass does include parking. I was thinking of some friends who have a pass that does not include parking, but they get a Florida residant pass, because they have Florida driving licences.

    Ah yes! Well at least it will have the car parking charge look very resonable [msnwink]

    You still get free parking with Florida Resident Annual Passes, it is only the Seasonal ones that don't get parking. We get one of each so we get the free parking and save on the seasonal one.
