Valet at the Wilderness Lodge?

[JohnDaleswife]

So if we valet our car at the Wilderness Lodge, at say 11am, on our arrival day, we have until when to get our car out of valet to prevent being charged for another day?

Just my opinion, but parking is close enough that you don't necessarily need to use valet. I used to use it at all the resorts but it's gotten terribly expensive. I do use bell services but still self park. You can also just use drop off so not everyone in your group has to walk from the parking lot.

Will consider that. Thanks!

For hotel guests, Valet charges are typically attached to the room on a nightly basis. They aren't on a 24-hour schedule. So, if you arrive at 11am, it should only be $25 even if you get your car the following day any time after 11am (but before the hotel system changes the day).

If you do decided to pay for one night of Valet service, I'd recommend two things. First, ask your question when you arrive. The Valet attendant will provide the most accurate information regarding the time period when a second charge happens. Second, be sure to let the Valet and/or Front Desk when you pick up your car that you don't need valet parking for additional nights. Otherwise, they may assume you want it throughout your stay.

That said, I do think that fairygagamother gives good advice. You can certainly drive up under the porte cochere, unload your passengers and bags, and then park your car in the self-parking area.
