Brilliant!
Since it will be the first picture you take at the SuperMegaCorp Theme Park, you can access it easily upon leaving the park. This means that you will not spend half an hour roaming the parking lot looking for a dark grey SUV in a lot that contains, by rough count, 157 billion other dark grey SUVs...
I'm here to help, it's what I live for.
That is all.

Or you can note down the location info on your handy PDA's memo-pad app.
It works for airport parking lots too.
8 years ago I actually wrote with this politically incorrect commercial (I shoulda sold it to a camera company....coulda been a zillionaire!):
Scene: Me pulling out of my driveway, video is filmed from the viewpoint of the passenger seat, pointed at me while I drive.
.
I stop the car, abruptly.
Ricky: "Oven!!"
[picks up camera. Looks at it]
Ricky smiles and resumes driving.
I stop the car, screeching the tires.
Ricky: "Front door!!"
[picks up camera. clicks a button, looks at it]
Ricky nods approvingly and resumes driving.
I stop the car, abruptly.
Ricky: "What about that sneeze? It's the cold and flu season."
[picks up camera. clicks a button, looks at it]
Ricky, smiling: "AllllllRIGHT! Not gonna be late today".
Side view of car as I accelerate away into the horizon, Led Zeppelin song volume increases.
[Short pause]
Voice (presumably Samuel L. Jackson or James Earl Jones]: "The Canon XJ-SUX 1000 digital camera. Good for photos, short videos and convenience."
[Video switches to a close up of the viewing screen of digital camera, showing me clicking through a slideshow of pictures showing me turning off the oven, locking the front door and washing my hands in a sink]
"...And the perfect gift for obsessive compulsives".

Could be updated today for Smartphones. I swear this is a true story.
actually, the first pic should always be of your business card or some other id so if you lose your camera an honest person can return it.
for parking in a big lot like that I'll either take a pic of the row number, or more likely mark the car location using a handheld gps, or now that I have a smartphone, mark the location with the gps in that. If there are multiple entrances, I'll mark that too. Then, no matter what, I can always navigate back to my car even if I get lost.
Looking at the low-res thumbnail, it appears that the parking sign has fallen victim to a .22 :-)
.....you knew this was coming....
There's an app for that!!!!
....OK... actually I downloaded and installed the "take me to my car app" and tried it out in Downtown Boston the last time I was forced to park there.
This is simple .... just push the button to mark my location and off we go on foot.
Several hours later, Pull out the iPhone and tell it to take me to my car.........
.....that's when I notice the disclaimer. Current location accuracy 0.32 miles ( 0.51 Km )
...great...
Dude, you are staying on property right??? that is what the big mouse bus is for so you don't have to deal with this . . .
I went to Orlando and the Mouse House earlier this year, so I can support this tip with two big thumbs up.
BTW? Make sure when you go to Epcot, you ride the 'Soarin' ride. It's pretty impressive :)
That's why, when wife and I went to DisneyWorld, we rented a CHROME YELLOW Nissan four-door pickup from Emerald Isle.
It was fantastically easy to spot in the sea of white/beige/tan/brown/silver/taupe/babysh*t colored rentals.
