How often do you use valet parking?

[Donald is #1]

Well, since it is a rainy Saturday afternoon here in NH, I thought that I would have some fun and post a poll on how DVC members use valet parking at BWV, BCV, AKV, stc.

So my question is simply, do you always use valet parking, only use if for dinner, or never use it?

I see I'm the first response!!

I voted, "Always".
DH is the one who loves valet!

Another "always" here. Valet parking is one of the things that makes me really feel on vacation. Love it!

We definitely use it if it's raining when we're at a resort for dinner.

My answer really doesn't fit into the 3 choices. When I'm at BWV, I always valet at check-in. I want to get the luggage out of the car and have them park it. I usually don't use it for the rest of the stay unless it is raining heavy or if there are no spaces in the self park (which has happened at BW). When I took my mom, I used to put it in valet the night before checkout so that we could have the bellman just take it straight to the car. If I'm by myself, I'll just leave the building by the doors by the pond and wheel it out to the self park.

Always, for us! Afterall, we're on vacation so why not!

Love valet parking - use it every time!!!!

Maybe DH is in the real minority, but he refuses to use valet parking, so we always use self-park. Hey, it's good exercise to justify all the snack food we eat at WDW!

I have never actually had a car while at WDW so I guess we are a never. We always fly in and don't get behind a wheel of a car until we are home. No way I'm renting a car and having to worry about that. We find it a waste of money. But on the other had if we did ever rent a car for any reason, I would ALWAYS use valet.

Not only do we always use it when staying at WDW DVC resorts, I've used it several times when visiting WDW when staying off-site for business. I'm with Maistre G in thinking it is one of our nicer perks.

Always use it. Also call ahead for them to bring the car up front Thay put on the ac for you and cool down the car. Love it.

Since OKW doesn't offer valet services, we only use it when we go to other resorts to dine. But I guess we also never use it as a DVC perk, as we have DDE and a handicap placard, so we can get free valet at all resorts, not just DVC.

 

[jarestel]

We don't always use it, since as Chuck pointed out, there are resorts where valet parking isn't available. We do use it a lot though when it makes sense to do so.

Rarely

Is it the DDE that gets you valet at all resorts or just the handicap placard. I am thinking about doing DDE, if it gets you valet at all resorts that would be a great point to make me buy.

It is either.

With the DDE you must present your dining receipt and DDE card for the free valet.

But folks with handicap plates/placards also get free valet.

I've personally never have or will with our own cars, my family personally has bad luck with valet parking. The one time I did do so up here in Chicago, in a supposedly reputable place, I could tell my car had a going thru after. One of my relatives had the transmission in their car broken doing so, another had a mirror knocked off.. as I said, just plain bad luck. Would any of that happen at Disney I fully doubt it, one in a million chance, but I'd likely be that one.

 

[helenabear]

I admit, I have never used it in all the times we've driven around. I don't mind walking I guess

Never...

 

[MinnieGi]

Always, always!! We love it and also think it is a top notch DVC perk!
