Parking at Hotel

[sbastin02]

We live in FL and we bought the 3 day tickets. We are going with friends for one trip and not staying the night so I have an idea but wanted to know if it is doable and if I am a horrible person for wanting to do it.

I was going to order a stroller from Apple to have delivered to a hotel, park in the way back of check in parking, get stroller, take shuttle to park then take shuttle home from park, return stroller and then head home. I want to make sure we won't get towed. It is only one trip that we would do this cause the other two days we are staying one night.

Hotel parking is not permitted for theme parks. You are running the risk of being towed.
Pay the $15 to park

I kind of figured we would end up doing that. Can I still get a stroller dropped off at a hotel? Stroller drop off at the Apple Store is 6pm but we plan on being at the park later so we were hoping to have it dropped off at a hotel and we could pick it up on the way to the park and then drop it back off at the hotel when we were leaving.

You can't have things delivered to a hotel you don't have a reservation at.

We had a stroller delivered to a hotel we weren't staying at once. There wasn't any problems. We did a split stay that trip. We had APs and were staying offsite for part of the trip. We had the stroller delivered to WL (where we were staying for the second half of the trip) because we wanted to go to MK that morning before we could check into the offsite hotel. We picked up the stroller and then went to the MK until the early afternoon. Parking wasn't an issue for us because it was free with the AP.

Disney Resorts hold items for their guests. They knew you were coming in a few days. I believe they can hold packages for 10 days before you check in.

OP doesn't have a reservation at the resort. Don't know what will happen to the stroller.

Does apple do single day rentals? There website starts at three days? Honestly op just bring a stroller or rent a Disney one.

I didn't realize this rule so OP you might want to be careful with that. We didn't have any problems, but it very well could have been that we were checking in to that hotel in 5 days so....

The other option you have if you really want to rent from an outside company is to use one that you will just meet at a nearby hotel the day of...I know some companies do that...don't know about apple. Of course, it is probably less hassle just to bring a stroller or rent one at the park unless you have a young child. The park strollers are definitely not made for infants or toddlers.

Are your friends staying at a hotel? Maybe you can leave the stroller under their name at the hotel.

I have ordered items and had them shipped to my Disney resort. They do hold packages for their guests. I even got moved to BC one trip and told them I was expecting packages and they transferred them over to BC when they arrived.

If your friends are staying at the hotel, couldn't they register your car in their name? Presumably, you could use your car to drive them somewhere?

I would think so. If they don't already have a car. You get a car decal if needed per stay.
