FUN FACT:
There are 15,248 hotel rooms on Disney Property (does not include campsites; source wdwmagic). There is at least 1 parking space for each room. If you consider HALF capacity at each hotel that would be 7624. If you do the AVERAGE cost of parking at $19, thats $144,856 PER DAY for parking fees. In a years time, that's a $52,872,440 revenue increase per year.
Seems like a lot of money, but in the grand scheme of Disney Park's revenue (17 Billion for FY 2017 and 5.2B last quarter (Q1 2018), it barely moves the needle. It is an interesting move though, the Parks division had a healthy operating income of 1.3B last quarter.
I think they're trying to increase revenue because they're gonna get hit hard by wage costs, not sure whats going on with the union battle recently though.
