Can you 'parking lot' hop while pool hopping?

[ReallyFunMom]

When you pay your fee to park at RPR, does it allow you to go park at PBH for the day? We thought it might be nice to do the pool hopping thing on last day and it would be easier if could just park there instead of boating over to PBH and back.

Good question, but we've never been charged to park at PBH. We payed when staying there, just because you're supposed to. When we've visited from one of the other resorts, the gate is always up & there's no attendant. This is usually at night though. We don't pool hop. If anyone has experienced anything different, hopefully they'll let us know.

That is a very good question. There are no attendants to charge you but I do not know if your card for one parking lot will work at others.

I don't know if you have ever stayed on site before, but we found that when we stayed at RPR in June, we did not want to move our car for the entire stay. I don't know about the other hotels, but at time we were at the RPR, parking spots were very hard to find. We were there in the first part of June, and that's not the busiest season. I don't know the answer to your question about parking fees for the other resorts, but that's something you may want to think about before moving your car.

We normally don't move our car either. We usually stay 4 or 5 nights, & have actually used our van twice in all our stays. One was to make an emergency trip to Walgreens. The other was on our last visit, & we arrived later than planned. By the time we checked in & took our luggage to our room, we didn't have time to walk or transfer boats to PBH for our dinner reservation. This particular time, we drove to PBH. We usually don't. Every time we've been there, the gate has been up though. That said, If it were us possible, we'd take the boat to CW & transfer to the PBH boat, as t-and-a suggested.

FYI, there's lots of parking near the entrance to the Convention Center at RPR. If you ever have a hard time finding a place to park, continue past the 1st lots. You'll find plenty of empty spaces around to the side. On the other hand, HRH definitely has parking issues.

all great suggestions and agree not to move car BUT

if you wanted to, it should be possible (only say should as I've never done it)

In theory a valid room key should work at any of the three hotels exit gate where you insert the key to exit ot show it to the guard on entering or exiting. Supposedly as a guest of one hotel you are a guest of all three hotels.

Now parking at HRH may be a walk or impossible especially on those velvet sessions-last Thurs of month.

The parking lot at the PBH is a great because it's covered and they have a ton of spaces. There is no paper to put in the window.

There isn't a guard, but there is a gate and it works by swiping a hotel key. I doubt an RPR key would work because one time I tried to enter the HRH with my PBH key and it didn't work. Most of the time, the gate is stuck in the up position. And there is a box to drop keys in right there at the exit. That's right, you could reach into the box, pick up a key, and use it. Most people don't know this, which is why the parking is not abused. If the gate is not up, and you're scared about looking for a key, you could visit the valet area, say you were visiting, and need a pass to get out. I'm sure if you showed them your key from the RPR, they'd give you the pass to get out.
