questions on valet parking

[suevee]

I am researching different options for our upcoming trip. Thanks for the help.

1. How much does valet parking usually cost?

2. Is there a time limit on cars using valet parking?

3. Is valet parking just for the use of resort guests or anyone using resort facilities?

4. How much does one tip for valet parking?

5. If you are not a resort guest and you use valet parking are you hurting the resort quest? That is taking a spot that should be reserved for resort guests?

6. Is there an information page somewhere about valet parking?

We have never done valet parking before, but with my husband's joint pain in his knees and hips, I am thinking we should start. God forbid if he would ever consider a handicap sticker!

Thanks for any info.

2. There is no time limit. The charge is per day. Stay for 5 days, pay for 5 days

5. No, Valet parking is in a separate lot.

side note ... valet parking is complimentary for any guest with handicapped tags. Don't forget to tip the CM though.

Valet parking is $8.00 at most of the resorts I believe but at the Swan and Dolphin it is $14.00
usually Tip $2 to $5 for each time they take or bring the car.
and yes Handicapped recieve valet free but of course you still tip.

I think valet parking at the WDW deluxes is still $6, not $8.

You are correct, valet is still 6.00.

The rule of thumb is to tip when you pick up the car to leave.
