Is the Valet Parking for Blue Man Group worth the cost?

Where does it drop you off vs where the entrance to the theater is? I can't tell if it's worth it as it seems the parking is at the hotel, but the hotels aren't close to the park. Can someone give info?

Which hotel? Hard Rock is very close to US and the Blue Man Group theater, about a 5 min. walk.

We aren't staying at a hotel. This is just for a day trip.

Oh sorry, I thought you meant it dropped you off at one of the Universal hotels' parking lot.

Valet parking drops you right at the entrance of Citywalk. You go up a short escalator ride and you see Bubba Gump's. From there, it's about a 5 minute walk to the Blue Man Group theater.

Whether or not valet parking is worth it depends on how much you want to spend. Regular parking in the parking garage is around $11 before 6 pm and free after 6 pm. The walk is about 10-15 minutes to the BMG theater, depending on where you're directed to park in the garage. Valet parking is $9 for 1-2 hours and $18 for 2 or more hours. There is never a discounted or free valet parking, unpless you have a Preferred or Premier AP. Also count into the cost the $2-$3 you tip the guy who brings you car around.

I would not park at the hotels if you are going to see BMG, unless you plan to eat at the hotel restaurant afterwards.

We ended up valet parking and my husband went and got me a wheelchair. They gave me the wheelchair for free and I thought that was a nice gesture.
