For perspective Disney Resorts in Orlando are now charging nightly fees for parking for guest staying at the resorts. Disney is not providing any amenity unless there is profit in it.For the Disney hotels, I would think if they made 110V outlets available it would fill the need for most of their guest with EVs. Charge rate isn't an issue if your car is plugged in for over 48 hours.
True, but when you have to run new circuit for 110, might you not as well run 240? Labor is probably the same.For the Disney hotels, I would think if they made 110V outlets available it would fill the need for most of their guest with EVs.

True for a 20 amp 250v circuit (Plus the modest cost of the double breaker), but this adapter is not standard. A 50 amp circuit would be much more expensive.True, but when you have to run new circuit for 110, might you not as well run 240? Labor is probably the same.
Very true, but 50 A plug is not standard either, except for Tesla.True for a 20 amp 250v circuit (Plus the modest cost of the double breaker), but this adapter is not standard. A 50 amp circuit would be much more expensive.
We went to Animal Kingdom yesterday followed by Disney Springs. Chargepoint showed available chargers at each location. In both cases a charger was blocked by a non-charging car. Both were Model S's even though there was a range of cars there (Bolt, i3, etc.) I wish I had a decal that I could stick on these people's windshields to tell these people what charging courtesy is. Luckily I was able to make it home.. barely.

Much better yesterday at Animal Kingdom. All Teslas, all charging.
S3XX
I have seen this frequently at Epcot. It underscores the need for Tesla destination charging at Disney Resorts and reveals the almost total lack of charging alternatives. The Animal Kingdom is a notable exception regarding alternatives, but even that seems to be an after-thought. I love Disney World, but the don't support EV's.And much worse at Epcot yesterday! 2 out of 4 spaces where blocked but NOT charging!
One car was a Tesla Model 3 and one spot was ICEd...
It would be nice if those few spots were kept free for those who NEED to charge...

staying on-property and not having to drive/park saves a metric ton of time and hassle.
Note that Disney Resorts are now charging per day for parking even if you are staying there. Parking at the parks is now $25 for the day.If you stay at a property that has monorail, yes. We stayed at the Disney Animal Kingdom Lodge recently (I accidentally booked our house for part of our stay...oops) and we found the bus system to be a huge hassle. Buses are packed (standing room only) and they make several stops before reaching your destination. Not to mention, just waiting for the bus to come. I'm not saying the parking lot and tram are better than the buses, but not much worse, if at all. Plus, staying off-property with your own car allows you to go to less-expensive restaurants and you can hit the grocery store and/or Walmart/Target.
Oh, and the walk from the bus to our AK Lodge room was about 10 minutes. Pulling-into the garage, plugging-in and walking into the house is nice, I must say.
