If you are talking about WDWINFO, ie: the DISboards, they are not official Walt Disney World pages. Therefore, any information must be taken with a grain of salt. In fact, even WDW states that policies may change without notice.

I am very aware of that fact. Just in my time of being on the disboards, the dis information provided has usually been up to date.

The only guests who had free valet parking was Disney Vacation Club members and it was only at DVC Resorts, however last year that perk was taken away. So there was always a cost to other guests and was never free.

In a time long past, valet parking was also free to Concierge guests. Not so any longer either.

In one short (or LONG) week, we will be at the POLYNESIAN!!! I am so excited even I can't stand myself!!!

I honestly don't remember ever reading about that or being told about that when we arrived, because the Bellman know if you are staying Club Level and not once did they say valet parking was free. Plus not even the Club Level Cast Members once told us about that.

How long have you been visiting? I'm talking long ago CR--like early 90s and before.

Wooo Whooo! So exciting! Now you get to do all the last minute fun stuff like mani-pedi, rechecking all your lists, organizing all your stuff (I actually enjoy those last two items because I'm an obsessive planner ...). Hopefully your week flies by!

Missed your post ... hope you have a great trip crostorfer! I have 5 months before I get to bounce off the walls (though I still have my moments!)

Ah, well there's your answer--free valet for CL ended before your time.

very recent pics of the Lounge.

BREAKFAST:

note: the second morning the croissants were replaced with mini muffins... booo!

Evening service (Saturday, May 6th)

also... not from the lounge (and I paid a pretty penny) but these are take-out sushi from Kona Sushi Bar (YUM)

 

[PolynesianLily]

Found the answer to my question.
