Valet parking

donnyette · 29 Jun 19, 01:51 PM

Not sure if I have posted this in the right forum, please move if needed.
We are looking to valet park at Contemporary for the day as we have a breakfast reservation at Chef Mickeys at 7.10am!
Has anyone valet parked before? What happens when I drive up to the gate? What do I say?

Thanks x

I have done it there when it's raining. However I get it free as I have a Tables in Wonderland Card so only have to tip.

Pull up to the security barrier and tell the Guys you have an ADR. They will say self parking on the right valet straight ahead.
You continue straight for a bit then bear right and enter the Contemporary covered canopy area.
The staff will point out where you park. You get out and hand them the keys and then they direct you to the little valet stand where they process you and your car.
Job done.

When you return from the Park go back to that little stand and give them the slip of card they gave you. Somebody then runs off and gets your car. At that stage you tip him/her.

I never tip on drop off.

Exactly as Mr Tom says worked a treat for us at Flying fish in the rain.Security always ask for ID at the barrier unless that's just DH looking a bit dodgey

I would also never tip at drop off ...unless I was arriving to stay at the hotel and the valet guys sort out the luggage.
