Parking for Trader Sams?

[Belia]

If we drive to the DLH for Trader Sams, will we have to pay for parking? Or do they validate?

If not, is there any way to park for free while going to Trader Sams?

The DLH website is unclear - but Trader Sam's used to validate for 3 hours of parking, but only at Disneyland Hotel's self-parking. (If no one else chimes in, you might want to call DLH Guest Services to verify.)

If that doesn't work, there's a hackaround to limit it to $10. If you park in the Simba/DTD lot, you'll pay for the first hour ($10), but if you go to World of Disney and buy a $20 Disney gift card, they'll validate your parking for 3 additional hours. Then, you can use the gift card to pay for part of your Trader Sams bill (or anything else).
