Where is HC parking at Boardwalk?

[emerymt]

We are eating at Spoodles the night we arrive in WDW. That night, we are staying at a Marriott and will be driving in to the Boardwalk area. (Not checking in to OKW until the next day). Where is the closest handicapped parking? Is there a better way to get there?

It's far because you have to go through the hotel and take the stairs or the elevator down to get out to the boardwalk.

Thanks for a quick reply! So, basically we're parking in Boardwalk Villas parking?

We always park at Boardwalk Hotel and then go to ESPN club.

At any of the deluxe hotels if you have a handicap tag there is no charge for their valet parking. You do not have to be staying on Disney property, I do it all the time. Just remember that the valets are tip positions.

I think that is the best option. The handicapped parking is not that near and they provide free valet parking for people with handicapped parking permits for that reason (it also allows them to have less handicapped parking than they would otherwise need for the size of their lots).
WDW hotels are not the only ones that do this. We have gone to other large hotels and gotten the same treatment.

The Boardwalk lobby is actually one floor above the Boardwalk itself. After you enter the Boardwalk lobby, take the hall to your right. You will come to a little alcove after you pass the restrooms on your right. The elevator down to the Boardwalk is around a corner to the right, just after the bathrooms. It's very easy to miss because it is tucked into a corner. Take the elevator down to the Boardwalk level, and when you get to the actual Boardwalk, take a right. Spoodles is on your right after the Flying Fish and Before ESPN.
