jlf 7 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 We arrived last Sunday Dec. 1. We were very surprised when parking permits that go on your dashboard, are not being used anymore. Does anyone know why? Also this past weekend I have encountered more than usual rude guests. So between all the changes at the Fort and the rudeness, this has been one heck of a stay.

When we checked in at Thanksgiving the CM seemed preoccupied with the new ipad software. He initially gave us our paperwork without the permit. When I asked about it he said "oh yeah" and went back to the shack for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duane 152 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 When we were there at the beginning of November, we were issued parking passes for our car, our tow dolly (which we always park in the overflow lot) and one for our friend's car who were on our reservation...

djsamuel 322 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 In November we were given one for our stay. Previously we either get one or are told they don't use them anymore, they will scan your Magicband. Seems to be hit or miss; no consistent policy. We've learned to ask for one if we aren't given one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At the studios, she scanned our band then asked for photo id. Then she she realized we were resort guest. We also noticed that very view utility trailers in the parking lot were permit less.

southernview -- Ray 25 Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 It seems to me that there is something going on with the parking permit situation. When we checked in this past December, we did not get a parking pass with all the other paperwork. When we realized this the next day, the DW went back up front and obtained one. It looks as if they are not consistent with issuing one when you check in which has been the case in the past. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They stopped issuing, unless requested, since they scan your MB when you go into the park. There really is no reason to print one off unless you're leaving a car in the overflow.

One was preprinted and they asked if we had another vehicle and printed one right away with out our asking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some other friends were just told that they only gave them out if you had a car in the overflow.....unless it was because the Holiday rush was over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LONE-STAR 370 Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 They gave us one when we checked in. I did not ask for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tim5055 120 Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 With the new text your site number I have avoided the check in on my last few trips. I've left a car and golf cart trailer in the overflow lot with no issues. But, as Jason points out, Disney has no consistency in procedures or rules..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 With the campground at least I have stopped doing online check in. Since I do not use the option to charge to the room (or site in this case), and they don't charge a parking fee, it avoids them putting holds on my account. This does mean I have to spend 10 minutes going through check in but that doesn't bother me. Last trip I was actually excited to pull up with the bus for it's first time. djsamuel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
