Out of State Handicap Tag

[svanda]

I'll be visiting WDW this Christmas with my family. My mom has a handicap tag for the state we live in. We'll be renting a car and was wondering if her handicap tag is valid at Orlando, specifically at the disney resorts and parks. Also, we are DVC Members and was wondering what is their policy regarding the handicap tag and valet parking.

Best bet would be to ask the car rental company.

One note is that usualy the tag has the person with the disabilities drivers license number on it. As long as the person with the disability is in the car when using it you will have no problem.

DVC or non-DVC you get free valet parking at all resorts with handicap permit. My parents came down with me last year and brought their handicap tag from Michigan to use in rental car. No problem using. We didn't even know about the free valet parking but the valets mentioned it to us.

There is an agreement between all the US States and Canadian Provinces and Territories to accept each other's tags.

In some jurisdictions you can request a special "Airport-Only" purple tag that can be left in yur vehicle at an airport while you take your regular blue tag with you for use in a rental car at your destination. I've done so here in Ontario. Both tags expire at the same time.

As has been said, your tag entitles you to free Valet Parking at any Disney Resort that offers the service. You do still have to pay for Park parking unless you're stsaying at a Disney Resort or have regular, premium or premier Annual Passes.

Here is the Federal Law concerning reciprocity:

"The State system shall recognize removable windshield placards, temporary removable windshield placards and special license plates which have been issued by issuing authorities of other States and countries, for the purpose of identifying vehicles permitted to utilize parking spaces reserved for persons with disabilities which limit or impair the ability to walk."

yes, they are accepted.

Please be mindful of the laws for HC parking. The person who the tag is assigned to must be getting out or in of the car to park there.
