One of our funniest stories to come back with us was about this VERY subject so I wanted to share it
My brother's family lives in Titusville (not far from Disney)
We stayed the at GF and flew in so we didn't have a car.
We had made ressies one night for 1900 park fare for all of us one of the nights we were there...
Brother had an AP that includes free parking so this was the only time we tried to do this as usually we just took the monorail together..
Anyway... he has 2 little kids with the usual baby/toddler baggage so we gave him our parking pass so he could park closer to the resort.... I knew it was legal and had given the front desk a heads up he would be using our parking pass but my brother didn't know this...
This is the conversation that went on when he pulled up to the gate:
CM: Your name sir?
Brother: pretends to be my DH so gives him my DH's name
CM: How do you spell that sir? (my married name is very long and difficult to spell)
Brother: uhhhhh... do you have a piece of paper so I can write it down?
CM: what room are you staying at sir?
brother: uhhhhh the one facing the lagoon?
CM: Are you sure your staying at this resort sir?
brother: oh yes, we are staying here... I just get easily confused...
CM: Would you like to charge the valet parking to the room?
Brother: <huge grin on his face> ABSOLUTELY
So we tease him about charging the parking to OUR ROOM... we were tempted to call the front desk to tell them we thought our parking pass was stolen
(anyone with a "little brother" would understand this temptation hehe)
Well brother was feeling a tad bit guilty for charging the parking to our room after we teased him soooo he handed me a $20 to cover the expense... we laughed about this as getting my brother to pay me back is not an EASY accomplishment... not that he is a deadbeat by any means but its "fun" in our family to owe the other a small amount of cash and never deliver on paying it back
... nothing major but maybe $5 for popcorn and never paying it back...you get the idea...
Anyway... back to the story, my brother is leaving and the gate CM tells him that the machine was broken at the time so he can't charge the parking to the room
Now my deadbeat brother who tried to charge it to our room... paid us 20 bucks for the parking had to STILL pay for the valet parking with cashe
HE called me on his cell demanding his $20 back
I told him not to hold his breath
