Valet Parking Question

[ninecrayons]

DH and I spend each NYE at DHS. To avoid parking issues, we are thinking about valet parking at a nearish resort.

Does anyone know if it's possible to just valet at a resort? If so, what does one say to the guard at the gate?

Thanks!

If you are willing to pay, it is possible to valet at a resort. However, on NYE they may be full.

You tell the guar you want to valet and see what (s)he says.

New Years Eve they may restrict to those with hotel or dining reservations.

Just flip the guard a c-note.

Or not. Any CM caught taking bribes is subject to immediate termination, and there are cameras at guard stations in particular.

A bribe isn't gonna help if the valet lot is full, which it very well may be on NYE.

OP, all you can do is try. But a whole lot of people will have the same idea.

MG, you really need to add

OP, I have driven up to the Contemporary when there was a long line of cars trying to get into the parking lot. I heard them tell the car at the window that they were not allowing valet parking if you weren't staying there.

Valet parking at Swan and Dolphin is more expensive than regular Disney. BW is going to be full and so will YC/BC. You may need to come up with a different plan of action.

In a major city, slipping an valet attendant a $20 WOULD work. So I have seen such advice given seriously.

It makes sense that a lot of other people would be doing the same. Thanks for the info!

I read a thread about New Year's Eve transportation last week. A former cab driver said he or she had people offer a $100 to avoid the very long line for taxis. Based on reading that, I also took your comment as being serious.

Bribes are common in large cities on nights like that. A lot of people treat Disney as a large city. The $100 "tip" would do wonders in Chicago.
