I was also told by staff in the Grand Floridian when I stayed there to park in the hallway next to the wall (kind of an L shaped nook area they said to park it). The housekeeper practically parked it for me she was so adamant. I had plenty of space in that room to park it inside. I just didn't know what to do so I parked it where she told me - wasn't going to argue with her. Sort of what
@maxiesmom experienced.
There's much debate on whether to ever park it outside your room and many good reasons not - if for no other reason than ANYONE can roll that ECV away without a key just to pull a prank or whatever. Also many
ECVs actually use the same key -same exact key - so someone could take it in theory. Or they could mess with it (pour soda on it or vandalize it). If nothing else I feel better having it in the room cause I'm responsible for it.
For sure the GF room has a lot of space, I typically stay at a value and get my ECV in there no problem and there's 4 adults in the room. Are you renting 2 of them?
