The hat is not in storage. They destroyed it.
My family and I were just at Disney World in December. We had Dining reservations at a few resort locations, The Grand Floridian was one (1900 Park Fare). When we got to the lanes to pay to park, all I told the lady was we have dinng reservations at The Grand Floridian at 10:25am she said go on through.Did not ask for any kind of confirmation. I think instead of charging people to park for reservations, they need to have POC at the parking lanes to verify reservations and have seperate lane(s) for guests to get into if they have reservations. If you cannot show confirmation then you must pay!
I wish they could incorporate the sorcerer's hat from Hollywood Studios at Fantasia Gardens - it would fit the theme so well there (I wasn't a big fan of its' original location, but I always liked the hat itself, and I hate the idea of it just sitting in storage somewhere.)
Putting the sorcerer's hat at Fantasia Gardens is a great idea!
I'll be curious to know how they'd handle a guest parking scenario in which a guest is staying at a Dianey Property (which earns free parking for the car, THERE), who wants to take their party on the Magic Kingdom Monorail line through the use of parking at The Contemporary, for example. (We did this recently during Christmas to see the Grand Floridian's Gingerbread House). This person should not, in my opinion, be forced to pay a parking fee, because they switched which hotel they parked at for touring, or even park attendance purposes. Does anyone agree?
Do what they do at Fort Wilderness (my normal hangout). My Magic Band opens the gate to let me into the campground. Set it up on your Magic Band/Plastic Ticket to authorize parking when you do the side trips.
