Does the Disney parking pass give access to the Dunes house parking lot

Yes!

The elevator for building 11 is now operational. I am waiting for it now.

You made my night with this post. We are traveling for a month so have a ton of stuff. My husband had an unexpected medical procedure last week that prevents him from lifting anything for a few more days. I was not relishing hauling all of our stuff up the stairs by myself. I had spent the car ride to our stopover point yesterday practicing my most pitiful face and story to see if we could get someone to help us . But when I saw your post it was all good! We're in a 1 BR so knew our chances for bldg 11 or 12 were good.

Relaxing in our room with a peek a boo marsh view and elevator access. Life is good!

Absolutely! Even if you show up early and the room isn't ready, the pass will get you to the Beach House parking and the facility, too.

The front desk will be happy to call you someone to help you move your luggage and supplies to your room at any time, actually. No sad face necessary!

Just home from a last minute long weekend trip at HHI. Initially we only booked friday night and Saturday night, but just as we were finished packing on Friday - Sunday became available as well so we threw some extra clothes in the suitcase. So we were able to stay three nights. Can't wait for our next trip!

Just to be clear I was asking about the Dunes House restaurant that is past the North gate not the Disney Beach House Thanks

Hate that we missed you! We were in Building 13 from Thursday to Monday!

This was a quick impromptu trip (we booked it earlier in the week) - it was just a quick respite for us and was a great trip! Hope you had a great time as well!

Are you a fan of that building? I would think all of the parking would be taken by people staying in the lodge but it could also be quite peaceful.

I would call it a "mixed bag". On the pro side, we loved the view of the inlet/Broad Creek that was right outside. I didn't find parking to be too much of an issue. We were either under the lodge or out front. On the con side, you are further away from the pool/Tide Me Over, etc., but it's still not that bad of a walk.

Worst part was on me. I had knee surgery for a torn meniscus 3 weeks ago and forgot to request a first floor unit, so we had to truck up a second flight of stairs. Thankfully, I was recovered enough to where it wasn't unmanageable, but I should have requested first floor...

Thanks for sharing hopefully you will have a speedy recovery

I wondered about this also. And I've noticed, when we go in the off-season, that there are always plenty of available parking spaces in the underground parking garage.
