valet parking at 0900 at Disney Springs?

I know DS opens at 1000, but we would like to get breakfast. Has anyone used valet parking there at 0900 ish? The parking garages are a bit too much for us. Thanks!

I can't speak to what time valet opens as I've only used in at night, BUT parking in Strawberry (the surface lot) on the Westside, by HOB is great. It's more direct, less of a cluster.

Valet parking doesn’t open until noon on the weekends and late afternoon on the weekdays.

If the stores don't open until 10, I would imagine the parking garages or surface lots are largely empty and you could easily park near the front to minimize walking.

The surface lots will very likely not be open. In my experience they only open those when it’s pretty crowded, or at least later in the day when thing like Cirque is open. There will be signs indicating which garages and lots are open - I have never seen anything other than “Surface lots closed” when we have arrived in the mornings; I have been a lot, but not every day of the year, so there could be days when that isn’t the case. But you are definitely correct that the parking garages are pretty much a free-for-all at that time of day. We’ve been several times for Uniqlo special offerings when my kid insisted on being there by 9:00, so he could stake out his spot in front of the doors.
