quick TIW parking question

[MIALIAS]

quick question

going to wilderness lodge for drinks and apps. Then taking boat to BLT for the same and coming back by boat.

Can I valet park for free at WL with my TIW card?

Thanks!

How long will you be parked there? If it's more than 3 hours I'd expect to pay.

The official word is

• Resort valet services are complimentary to Tables in Wonderland members, for the sole purpose of dining at one of the participating Resort restaurants. This privilege will only be extended to one vehicle per membership card. Present your membership card with a valid dining receipt from the participating Resort restaurant at the Valet Stand upon retrieving your vehicle. On Tables in Wonderland Block-Out dates, there will be a charge for parking and valet services.

whats the unofficial experience?

If you're parked for 3 hours or under, your receipt that shows that you used your TIW card will give you no-fee Valet parking. If you're there longer, you get to pay. So if your Bay Lake time takes you beyond 3 hours, I'd expect to pay.

Two places for drinks and appetizers...sure you want to be driving?

There isn't really one. Most people just adhere to the policy, park, eat, and leave.

They obviously ask for your receipt and they'll see your times. Honestly, I absolutely despise when people try and stretch or look for loopholes. They'll just end up taking that perk out of TIW, which effects all of us.

They check the times on the dining receipt. If it's longer than 3 hours they might charge you. The "perk" is not intended for guests to use to visit a park, but to eat in the restaurant. However, you're not visiting a park and you are going to have two dining receipts with times. Present them both.

I'm not saying this will absolutely work because I have no idea what the policy is regarding going to another, nearby resort to eat at an additional restaurant or lounge.
