    I recently had hip replacement surgery and currently have a handicap car placard. Is it true that with the handicap placard valet parking is complimentary at WDW resorts that offer it? Thank you.

    Hi there, Marshall. Welcome to planDisney! 

    Oh my goodness, I hate to hear that you had a recent surgery, but I'm happy to hear you aren't letting that stop you from enjoying the magic! In my opinion, a little pixie dust is always the best medicine. I'm so thrilled you stopped by to visit us. I'm happy to help you! 

    Marshall, I visited the Grand Floridian back in March, and I was helping another Guest who asked this very question. I stopped by and spoke directly to the valet parking Cast Member, who let me know that valet parking is complimentary for Guests with a valid disability parking permit at both Deluxe Resorts and Deluxe Villas. 

    Since it's been a few months, I wanted to double-check this information so you have the most accurate details. We take our planDisney jobs very seriously around here! I decided to hop on Aladdin's magic carpet this morning and take a flight into the planDisney Cave of Wonders for the answer we need. As Genie would sing, "Make way, here it comes, ring bells, bang the drums!" You're going to love my answer! The wonderful Cast Member I spoke to confirmed that with your active handicap placard, you will continue to receive complimentary valet parking at Deluxe Resorts and Villas. Yay! 

    I'm not sure what you have planned for your vacation, but I see that your visit is SO CLOSE! You'll actually be arriving on the day that I'm heading home. I'm super excited to see all the fall decorations, the not-so-scary pumpkin wreaths, and I definitely have a trip to Disney Springs on my itinerary to taste all the frightfully delicious Halloween food! I hope you'll get a chance to try some of your favorite treats, too! 

    Marshall, it's been my pleasure to help you. I'm wishing you a magical, spooky, fun, fabulous, and relaxing visit. Please visit us anytime. We'll be here, happy to help!
