How far is parking area from VWL?

[DizneeCM]

How far is the parking lot from the VWL? Is it difficult to carry in groceries?

Hi, DizneeCM. Parking is about a five minute walk +/-, depending on how far out you have to park.
You can always drop the groceries at the vallet area, and pick them up on your walk back to your villa. The bellman will even bring them to your room.... tip suggested, of course.

Have fun at The Lodge!

The parking situation is one thing that we didn't care for at VWL or @ BWV not that it is terrible but the lot seems to be really old and not kept up very well @ the Lodge just my take on it nothing really to worry about but the walk is a little farther than most resorts.

You can valet park if walking any distance is a concern.

I don't know about that,especially depending on where you're staying. I guess if you're in a room near the Lodge it could be closer, but if you're down near the dumpster it's quite a hike.

Good point. I guess I am thinking of having a bellman wheeling the groceries on the cart.

Thanks for the info. I guess we'll have to start our weight training now (to carry the groceries....)

I would probably drop off the groceries and spouse/kids at the area by the bus stop which is located between the lodge and the villas, then go park the car. Then help carry in the groceries on your way back to the villas from the parking lot. That's what we did when we stayed at VWL.

I can't imagine why anyone would not use valet parking at WL. It is free for DVC, except for the tip when you get the car. Well worth it, in my view.

Thanks again for all of the suggestions. Everyone has been very helpful.

Maybe it's me....I dunno....I pulled up to the main entrance, handed the valet my keys and got a bellman to bring the groceries to the room. Sure it cost me a tip but I honestly cannot see why $5-6 wouldn't be worth it.
