Free Parking with AP question

[labdogs42]

I've never had an annual pass before and I'm wondering if I have to be in the car that's parking to get the free parking. We're traveling with my dad, his girlfriend and another family to WDW in May. My DH and I will have AP's. Do we need to ride in separate cars so we can park both cars for free? We can do that or can I just give my dad my AP to get into the parking lot? (we'll probably be driving right behind him)

well, it has a name on it. if it has a woman's name and no woman in the car, it might be an issue, but i've been a passenger in the car and just handed my AP to the driver and its never been an issue.

I've never been asked for ID, so I'd say you'd be fine, but just know that there's still a chance if you get a parking guide who's in a bad mood.

Why don't you give your husband's to your Dad?

I could do that. My dad's girlfriend will be there, too, so I could give mine to her. I just didn't know if they checked ID or something.

They don't check names and they don't check expiration dates. They just see the AP and wave you through.
