Parking at Resorts Other Than the One Your Staying At??

[*DiSnEyGuRlIe267*]

When i went in February we would park at the GF, we got a parking pass and just went to the park. Even though we were only suppossed to stay their for 3 hours and they didnt do anything were parked their all day long!

When i went in February we would park at the GF, we got a parking pass and just went to the park. Even though we were only suppossed to stay their for 3 hours and they didnt do anything were parked their all day long!And were still paying money to Disney and some things their are not cheap, so i will park wherever i want!

People have posted seeing cars being towed away, so if you have a 3 hour parking pass and stay all day, you could come back to a big, unhappy surprise.

Angela:

I see that you have been a guest at the MK resorts for many trips. Stop and think about how you would feel if you were staying at the Poly again and everyone drove in from other resorts ... say all 3 All Stars all at once ... and parked at the Poly you couldn't park yourself after driving over to MGM for the morning. I may be going out on a limb here, but I think you would be a teeny bit mad . Just because you paid a lot at the Y&BC doesn't mean that you can park at the MK resorts and take up spaces anymore than the person who stays at the GF can park at the Y&BC and walk over to Epcot.

I hate the bus system, but I hate the T&TC even more. I take the buses to the MK. When I stayed at the WL I took the boat and found it prompt and relaxing. I drive to all the other parks.

robinb... ditto...

I don't like to disagree but *DiSnEyGuRlIe267, come on, seriously?? Do you really think that is ok?
I am sorry but can't agree with that one. JMHO

I didn't bother to read page two of this thread, because I couldn't see the issue.

By the time you walk to your rental car, get in, drive it to another resort, park it (you hope), walk to the monorail stop, wait for the monorail, arrive at the park, and wait in line to get in, YOU COULD HAVE ALREADY RIDDEN SPLASH MOUNTAIN IF YOU'D HAVE ONLY WAITED THE FEW MINUTES FOR THE WL BOAT!!!!


That whole ordeal of driving to another resort only to take the transportation from a different point would easily have added thirty minutes *at least* and more hassle than if you had just a little patience.

We just returned from the Polynesian and sometimes we waited 10-15 minutes for a monorail. And after that it has to stop at GF. Waiting 15-20 minutes for a WL boat and then stopping at FW does not take any longer than the monorail....and you won't get your car towed in the process.

We were staying at the Poly in 1998. We kept having problems finding a space to park in when we returned with our rental. I would have to cruise the lot looking for a place to park like I was at Walmart or something. My wife was getting real ticked. We were paying a lot of money at the Poly and I was told the parking was a result of other WDW quest parking in the Poly lots. I complained twice on that trip so to others not staying at a particular resort I say park at your resort and leave the driving to WDW transportation system!!smjj

Just to repeat the WL boat issue.

There has always been TWO boats(the flag color is different)..one simply goes from WL to MK,back and forth,over and over.Ver quick transportation,and the way we always used on our 4 trips to WL.

The OTHER boat makes a Contemporary,WL,Fort Wilderness ,THEN MK loop ,over and over.

Susy,
The valet costs $6 per day. You may use the valet parking at any resort for the day as many times as you want during that day. The only thing is that you would probably tip the valet guy a little something each time.

We have stayed at the WL many times. There buses are no worst then any of the other Resorts off the Monorail systems. Actually they are much better than alot of them because the resort holds alot less people than most. If you miss the boat to the MK, then you simply take the boat to the Contemporary and walk to the MK.

I cannot see driving to another resort thinking that you will get to the park faster. That simply doesnt make sense. Just stop, take a deep breath, and remember, YOU ARE ON VACATION!!!

One of the best things about WDW is that you can get to resort, park and not have to drive (after the 16 hour drive, it's a relief). Get on, get off. You don't have to look for the space, remember where it is, etc.

We've stayed at the WL twice, and in our experience, their transportaion is no worse or better than any of the other resorts we've stayed in. I wouldn't worry about the boat, it really is a nice little ride. Have a good time!
