I know, in particular, the Grand Floridian (self AND valet) lots are always pretty full. Forget about trying to find a self parking space some nights even if you are a resort guest.
On the 4th of July, after the fireworks, the line for valet parking was from the valet desk and curved around all the way to the main building. It was full of people complaining about having to pay $6 for 45 minutes of parking. Hello, people!!! Well, yours truly was not happy standing in line - and thankfully, one of the valet recognized us. Our car was pulled up a minute or two later. And, of course, a few people saw what happened and weren't too happy. But, we were paying resort guests, and I think it was very nice that the valet remembered that and helped us out. (the next day, I asked him how the tips were the night before, he said that most people didn't give him anything!).
