Florida Mall - Valet Parking

My DD's love to shop at the Florida Mall however parking is a complete nightmare. I think next time I'll fork out for valet parking to keep stress levels low. Has anyone used it recently? Is it efficient and what's the cost?

Go early not at the weekend and you'll have plenty of parking to chose from

My girls call me the Queen of Valet - I drive round once and lose the will! From memory the last time we went it cost $10 which is what I pay for an afternoon's parking in our local town centre on a Saturday... very efficient and removes one layer of stress
But per the response above, if I arrive early on a weekday there is always a space available, I only Valet if it is a busy weekend or public holiday.

We haven't been to the FM for a while but I don't recall having trouble parking but wherever we go whether it's Premium Outlets or the M@M we always get there for store opening and it's never too bad.

Reminds me though of our first trip back in 1990 when we had our second week on the coast at Indian Shores. Went to a nearby mall and parked outside Macy's. Returned a few hours later and left though Macy's to find our car gone. Panicked for 10 minutes until we realised that Macy's had two doors out to the parking lot.

Whenever we go to any mall now we say "we came in through fragrances"

we always valet at the malls and it works great. Totally no stress and dead easy. Less than $10 from what I remember since I remember comparing it with disney prices.

Not sure if its florida mall or mall at millenia (or both) but they now do a service where if you text a number with your ticket ID a few mins before you're ready and they have your car ready for when you walk out. Neat!

I've never actually had problems parking but I can never find the car when I've finished shopping. If I'd known they had valet parking I would definitely have used it. I always seemed to come out a different door no matter how careful I was at checking where I was!

Totally agree with you. We had a nightmare trying to get parked at the Vineland Outlets one day near the start of our recent holiday. So opted to go to the Florida Mall instead and got parked no bother at all. Its one of our favourite places to shop and usually go 2 or 3 times in the holiday and we tend to always park at the Sears end of the parking lot and honestly never ever had an issue getting a space.
