An interesting item popped up on Disney maintenance schedule which suggests changes to the parking setup at Disney's Wilderness Lodge.
The job is simply described as "modifications" to the Guest and valet parking lots at the Wilderness Lodge. The exact nature of the modifications are currently unknown. However, since free valet parking for Disney Vacation Club members was eliminated in October 2009, many members have suggested that the valet parking lots need to be downsized in order to provide additional room for those wishing to self-park their vehicles.
With DVC members now being charged for valet parking services, traffic at the valet lots has dropped dramatically while self parkers have increased. The problem is most pronounced at Disney's BoardWalk, where the self-park areas are often at capacity while the valet parking lot remains relatively empty.
This particular refurbishment project is apparently not too extensive as the scheduled completion date is Thursday May 20. If any current guests at the Wilderness Lodge would like to share their observations, please stop by the DVCNews.com Discussion Forum or
