Valet procedures with TIW?

[frannn]

We will purchase TIW this trip, and would like details on the valet parking included. We have a reservation at Narcoosees for dinner and debating if we should use the valet option or the monorail from MK. Do we just drive up to the valet and show them our TIW card? How long can we be parked there? TIA!

From the TiW website under 'Making the Most of Membership' (LINK):

Valet Parking at Disney Resort Hotels and Disney Springs
Disney Resort hotel valet services and Disney Springs valet services are complimentary to Tables in Wonderland members, for the sole purpose of dining at one of the participating Resort hotel or Disney Springs 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 hotel or Disney Springs restaurant at the valet stand upon retrieving your vehicle.

Complimentary Resort hotel valet parking is not intended for length of stay at a Resort and may only be used if the vehicle is parked at a Resort hotel for the sole purpose of dining at one of the participating restaurants of that same Resort hotel. On Tables in Wonderland block-out dates, there will be a charge for parking and valet services.

Theme Park Parking
Theme park parking is complimentary to Tables in Wonderland members, for the sole purpose of dining at one of the participating theme park restaurants.

• Before 5:00 PM: Please pay for parking at the Auto Plaza. Visit Guest Relations on your way out of the theme park. If it has been less than 3 hours, show your membership card, parking receipt and dining receipt for parking reimbursement.
• After 5:00 PM: Members can show their membership card at the Auto Plaza to enter the parking lot.

Note: Theme park admission is required for dining in all theme park restaurant locations. On Tables in Wonderland block-out dates, there will be a charge for parking and valet services.

Please remember to tip as well

How much should I tip? Can we leave the car for like 4 hours? Figuring we could park, monorail to MK just to do one 1 FP or walk past the castle (1st day tradition, lol), then go to dinner and watch fireworks from Narcooses? If not, we'll just take the bus.

If you take the boat from MK to Grand Floridian, you'll be dropped off right at Narcoossee's. If you monorail it, it will take a while because its the 4th stop. If you valet, you will have a 5-10 minute walk to Narcoossee's.

Boat is your best bet. Ahoy!

How late does the boat run?

 

[Deb & Bill]

Usually they limit you to three hours for free parking. That's what we were told when we used our TIW to park at the GF. The free parking is soley for dining at that resort, not for heading to the MK.
