Liked it so much - we did it 3 straight nights! Think we got over there about an hour before the show. Really is a very large area - so - don't worry about crowds at all. One night, our kids and some of the kids that came with us bought sandwiches at the QS at the Contemporary and carted them up. THere are plenty of seats (no tables) to relax. Or head over and watch the boats on the lake and the lights of the hotels. Not sure who said you cannot park there - we flashed our room key - explained we are going up for desert and drinks at the TOW and we are DVC members. No issue's let us park there 3 nights in a row! Maybe at very busy times - you may have an issue. But, if you are planning to spend money and they have open slots. Each night, our group of 12 probably spent $200 on Food / Drinks / Merchandise / Etc. Now, the guards did not know that - but - they got $600 for 9 free parking spots (and they had 2000 more open ones available). I think that is a good deal for them. Had they said no - I simply would have asked to speak with a manager - 12 folks all with wallets / purses and green money. Are people who are Pool Hopping or eating at Olivia's not allowed to park at OKW? If I am going to the Luau am I not allowed to park at the Poly? We go to see Yehaaa Bob all the time - never occurred I had to take a bus! That is absolute lunacy!
