I have seen them come out and write it down. And they look at licenses as well...and note them.Yes. We do this a few times each trip. Just tell the guard that you are eating at Capt. Cooks (food court) which is where you'll get yoru Dole Whip. You'll be directed where to park. You get 2 hours free parking and sometimes they will ask you to drive away slowly so they can note your license plate. They may also ask to see your driver's license.
We've never had a problem parking there to eat.
Since it's so close to MK and easier to self park than at GF, Poly is the one location that I've had them note my license plate. This is to keep people from parking there and riding the monorail to MK instead of parking at TTC.

Here's the thing..you say they give you a 2 hr pass....nope, doesn't happen. Ever. That has never been a permitted time. There were 3 hr passes but we seldom see them anymore.
Really??? The people that are paying to stay at the Polynesian, and get those nice fireworks viewing spots and water parade viewings, should be the ones to get them. What happens if all the people that wanted to do this suddenly started parking at the Polynesian???
You can easily park at the TTC and walk over to the Polynesian. That's what we always suggest.
But, I completely realize that everyone will do what they want. I have driven a car to BW before and had a hard time parking later in the day due to offsite people parking in our lot...of course after IllumiNations is over, there are plenty of empty spots!!! Wonder why???
Didn't mean to start a thread on a "touchy" subject. We have only been to WDW once before and didn't have a car and so this wasn't an issue for us. And I'm sorry this thread came up twice. I did do a search early this morning and when nothing showed up I wrote my post later this afternoon. Now I see some else posted the same question only a few hours before me.
I don't mind parking at the TTC, however, I'm not up on all the WDW lingo and don't know what that stands for or where it is located. I'm assuming it is near Poly since several of you mentioned it? Could you please fill me in. Thanks everyone for your responses.
You do not need to park at the TTC. If you are going to the Poly, you can park at the Poly. Worse comes to worse, the guard will say that there is no room for non-resort guests and direct you to the TTC.
