In the past we've had NO issues even when we had 3 bus loads of members going. We knew how & where to park to conserve spaces for the businesses.

The club isn't making a profit. The bus company and the tour director are which is fine. I am all for free enterprise. I still say that they are stopping this for some good reason. Such as a bus company who may advertise that anyone from nearby towns can park in our parking lots and take a shuttle to Disney or the gambling boats, that would be my first guess. As that would be a coup for a bus company and tour directors.

I may be wrong. You certainly are not wrong.
