I think the parking at the Villas is very convenient and easy. We use a car onsite all the time now and have never had an issue finding a spot in the Villas parking lot and the walk is pretty short.
It depends greatly upon whether or not there's a wedding big enough for overflow into the VGF1 lot.
We've returned late morning and early afternoon several times and found the villas lot full or nearly so with signs of a wedding such as the Cinderella coach or a limo parked near the wedding planner building.
Now, if you'd happen to need a handicapped space, there often is a problem getting one of those. There are only about 6 directly behind the spa building. In that case, it's advisable to drop off the disabled person under the porte cochere and park the car elsewhere in the lot. The HA spaces may be uncomfortably distant from the entrance for someone walking disabled.
Using valet parking at the GF is also an option, of course. When doing this, you can often get a golf cart ride from the GF main building over to VGF1. Bell services is very kind about doing this, although there may be a longer wait than is convenient. I've even had them offer to give me a ride there after I'd left our car with the valet.
