Just one week after Disney did it, Universal Orlando is raising prices for parking.

Universal is now charging $14 to park in the Universal garage, up $2 (a 17 percent increase).

Disney raised its parking prices to $14, also up $2.

On a related note: Many cash-strapped cities and airports have been raising parking fees (see, e.g., here, here, here, here, here, here, and here). A few cities have begun leasing out their meters to private companies (see here and here), which presumably will result in higher parking costs for consumers.
