They said it's pretty crazy but they do what they have to do and try their best to get the cars to the front as fast as they can. When we left yesterday, I called for a bellman while DH went to self parking to get the car. It was a bit after 11 and boy were there a lot of cranky pants valet guys, one guy cut DH off with another car, they were sniping at each other and all were scowling and not making eye contact. It was OK for us because we kind of knew what was going on and it was a super busy time of day. I'd hate to see what they are like on a Sunday morning. Not too magical an end to a great vacation. A "back to the real world" jolt
