HHI Beach House - Is Parking for Disney Guests Only?

[kingj]

Just curious. Who is allowed to park at the beach house? I saw other parking passes in cars parked in the parking lot and some of these cars were parked in the bushes since the lot was full.

The only "private" part of the Beach House property is the pool area itself.

The property is a public access area for the beach and the parking lot and garage are both available for anyone to use for parking. Disney also built public restrooms and even has a window for the public to use to order from the snack bar. The entrance sign does indicate that Resort members/guests are to use the right side and others the left- but the area is not policed by Disney to that end.

Earlier this month, the doors leading to the Beach House were even taped open- since the locks were apparently not working. Hopefully they will have those repaired by now.

I noticed that, too, Doc. I've seen the lock coming up from the beach not working properly before, but this is the first time I've seen the front doors not needing a key.

But, I did notice CMs checking IDs more regularly this summer than in the past, and I was very glad to see that. We even got checked at the resort pool once!!

Thanks for the info. Didn't really notice the sign because of the flowers. Just got back yesterday and you still do not need a key to access the pool area.

I would insert a picture showing the sign but I do not know how.

I do wish the underneath parking was for DVC only. They would not have to police it, only put a card acces gate. Also CMs take the underneath spots early in the morning. I get there around 10 and can find atleast 1-4 spaces left. If not I can atleast get that shady single spot out front. YOu can load up the car with all the beach stuff and park. then when everyone else is ready to come down they take the shuttle.
