Does Florida honor handicap parking placardsI have one but it says that you still have to pay to park

Yes and yes. The handicap hang tag allows you to park in a handicap space, nothing more, assuming a space is available. Demand exceeds supply.

You might be thinking of this, from the Port Canaveral website:

Disabled Parking

DISABLED PARKING spaces are available, and the fee is waived for vehicles transporting
certain persons who have disabilities that:

•   Have special equipment, such as ramps, lifts, foot or hand controls for use by a disabled person OR 
•   Display a Florida Toll Exemption Permit as explained in s. 316.1964, Florida Statutes OR 
•   Display a Florida Disabled Veteran (DV) license plate issued under s. 320.084; s. 320.0842; or s. 320.0845, Florida Statutes.

Parking agents will not grant parking waivers for any other reason than the ones listed above. 

I'm not sure if other ports have a similar policy.
