As others have said, with valet you can leave your car as long as you want. Without valet, it's limited to three hours. GF is one resort where the parking area is not that close...in fact, it's across the street. When you pull up to the GF guard station, the guard will direct you to the parking area. If you have people that don't like to walk or aren't good at walking a distance, I would drop them off at the front entrance and then go park (if not doing valet).
