Walt Disney World

As a reminder, Disney Resort hotel guests also continue to receive complimentary standard parking at Walt Disney World theme parks, daily early theme park entry ...

When it comes to a conglomerate like the Walt Disney Company, hotel parking is presumably below the CEO’s pay grade. Really the only plausible explanation is that the parking fee was a pet “project” of Bob Chapek, who was known for creating new revenue streams where none previously existed. At the time, that was the most controversial change we had seen from Walt Disney World.

Even early in his return, it was rumored that Iger had plans to undo Chapek’s changes, with a focus on building on the company’s rich history and legacy of “creativity, innovation, and inspiration.“ You also might recall that Iger sent a holiday letter to fans, indicating his intent to exceed our “highest expectations” in 2023. Of course, change is never easy, and I want to express my gratitude to all of you for how you rose to the challenge and helped reshape our future. Nevertheless, it did not make our wish list for a few reasons–all of which boiling down to our thinking that it was “unrealistic” to undo. Walt Disney World has announced a trio of major changes–one of which is quite surprising–that will improve the guest experience and value for money in 2023.

Disney World passholders will soon be able to visit the theme parks after 2 p.m. Walt Disney World is relaxing some restrictions as to how and when guests can visit certain theme parks. Disney is also reinstating complimentary self-parking for hotel guests.

In fact most of Disneyland guest perks have started or will start very soon, while the only “perk” for Walt Disney World guests has started. Those visiting WDW can get this “perk” with their purchase of Genie+ (that is around $25/ day.) This change is set to take effect “in the next few months” (or until people forget?) Those guests are paying more for their tickets overall already. Yesterday the Walt Disney Company announced several changes to both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. These new and upcoming changes are likely being made to offset the amount of complaints about the Disney cash grabs over the last few years. Most months, the lowest prices range is $129 and up, the average being more in the $130’s-$140’s range.
