This is something I only just found out, you can get free valet parking if you have a DDE card (info on valet parking from all ears )


Valet parking is available at the Grand Floridian, Polynesian, Contemporary, Yacht Club, Beach Club, Boardwalk, Wilderness Lodge and Animal Kingdom Lodge resorts. The charge is $7.00 per day plus tip. Guests need only pay for valet parking once per day--show the day's valet receipt at the next resort to avoid being charged again.

Disney Vacation Club members may valet park free at the DVC resorts. Those resorts are the Boardwalk, the Beach Club and the Wilderness Lodge. Show your DVC membership card to the valet captain upon vehicle pick-up.

Disney Dining Experience Members may valet park free of charge at any Disney resort offering this service by showing a DDE membership card.

Valet parking is free of charge to all vehicles displaying a disabilties tag at Disney facilities offering valet service.

We've used this DDE provision at the CR and GF with no probem at all Jakki :thumb: We just showed them our Dining Card and receipt on collection, tipped the runner and off we went.

We didn't use it when we stayed at OKW, though I think we will for our SSR stay.

I do love valet parking :D

I'd definitely do Valet at GF susie, as self parking is miles away.

Some people tip on drop off and pick up. Usually a couple of Dollars.
We tend to tip 2 or 3 dollars on pick up only. Which btw is quite acceptable. :)

I know this may be cheeky but as the DDE gives free valet does this include if you are actually staying at the resort??

I don't think so Claire as it says 'Valet Parking free when you dine at any resort' but I don't know if anyone has tried it :2ponder:

But sometimes you do dine at the resort whilst there, for say brekkie esp if at AKL and Bomas :D

Suppose no one is to know Claire and we have left our car over night at the GF then used the DDE card the following day when we retrieved the car.

There is no valet parking at SSR.

Sorry - didn't mean to confuse.
I meant we'll maybe valet park at the other participating DVC resorts whilst at the SSR part of our stay - I think :2ponder: LOL
