Magic Kingdom Parking Lot gets makeover

Disney needs a valet lot at the Magic Kingdom, LOL.

Yeah if they are idiots it parks them in the lake.

^ Why not? The Portland Airport has a valet now...

...I shudder to think of the cost.

Not least of which would be the Board X bitchthreads about it. Both before and after implementation, where THE CM DID SOMETHING TO MY CAR I DEMAND A NEW MICKEY-THEMED REPLACEMENT VEHICLE rantings will start.

Didn't say it would be cheap but I'm sure some folks would go for it. Especially when they have a lot of kids, strollers, etc. Price could go up as the weather got hotter.

I'm pretty sure Walt didn't want a bunch of entitled, self-righteous zealots overseeing every decision his parks made, either. But you know, that's just my thought on the matter.

I went to check out what this was all about today. They basically have two tram routes running at the same time now, heroes and villains, one for each parking lot. You need to remember which parking lot you are in and your row number. The old system had a single tram going to all the parking lots and you would have to wait for the next one, if the first one in the station filled up before you could board.
I can see the SGs getting mixed up, especially if they have been to the MK before and they aren't paying attention to the spiels or the signs, as usual.
I also took this opportunity to wear my new SGT polo t-shirt. I noticed many of the CMs looking at it but no one made any comments.

There is a water park in Virginia which indeed offers valet parking.

Is the running of two tram routes a full time thing or something only done when the trams are very busy (such as at closing)?

If I'm not mistaken Sea World Orlando offers valet parking.

They sort of have one; or four. Valet park at one of the monorail resorts or Wilderness Lodge and take the monorail or boat to the Park.

From what I saw it's a full time thing. When I was there yesterday they were using both the heroes and villains lots and this was around 4:00 P.M., so it wasn't anywhere near closing time.
If the guests are paying attention it will be a quicker way to get them to their vehicles, if not, there are certainly going to be a lot of unhappy people.
