Anyone left their car at the resort while on a short cruise?

[Donna M]

Our situation.....We like to rent a car, and will be staying at VGF before the 3 night cruise, and OKW after the cruise. Friends will be driving down to stay with us before we all go for the cruise. We will drive together to the port and now have one car to leave at WDW. Has anyone had this issue? What did you do? We took ME last year and hated it, horrible experience, I don't know if I could get my dh on the bus again, and we like having the rental.

Ideas anyone?

They will probably charge you if they allow it. And that's a big if.

Great question, following along to learn more.

Rent from alamo and turn it in when you go to the cruise, then if needed, rent again when you return.

Be sure to price National as well as Alamo, it is rare, but occasionally National is cheaper. Unless things have changed, they both share the car rental facilities at WDW.

I would return your rental car and re-rent when you get back from the cruise.

Good ideas about rerenting, but it is only a 3 night cruise. It would be nice if Disney offered a plan for people who drive/rent then stay before and after at a Disney property on each end of a Disney cruise.

I seemed to find an answer that works for me on the Disney Parks Moms Panel.

Can you use GF valet parking for the duration of your cruise?

 

[BillPA]

Remember the valet is $35 a DAY, not just to park for the week, it's a daily rate.

You need to look at the date of that post. If it was before they started charging for overnight parking, it could have changed since then.
