Default Valet parked my vette

I am at Disney World right now. We come here from Ohio a lot, we have a timeshare at Disney. We get to valet park for free, and their people have always been great taking car of my cars. This time we drove our vert down. It was clean shiny, and the AE paint job was making it look fantastic. The new Corsa Pare with pro tips where singing. As I was checking in I went back around to look at the valet area. They hadn't moved it yet as it was surrounded by 4 valet guys and several "guests" looking it over.

Pretty cool!!!!!

Don't worry. You'll know when they move it. There will be the sound of an LS1 at WOT, the screech of tires, and if you look towards the sky, you'll probably see a nice white cloud of smoke.

Don't know if I'd want some minimum wage young kid driving my 'Vette."

I'm pretty particular about where I park and never let anyone else in it except the wife, of course.

Actually even though you're joking the chances of that happening are slim to none. Disney security would be there in a flash. When we drove down for the Winter Jam in January I never felt uneasy about leaving my car on Disney property.

Glad you've had good luck, but I still think you're gambling. Do you valet everywhere, or just there?

I feel the same way but you should know that most of those "minimum wage kids" are college students on a Disney Internship. That's how they afford to come to Orlando from all over the country. Disney is VERY strict about how they treat guests and the property of guests. If, as stated above, one of the burned your clutch and dug through your stuff, he'd be on the first bus back to Omaha 30 minutes later. I know because my son is on his third internship there. His first group started with 450 interns and finished with less than 300. They sent 'em packing if they sneezed wrong.
