Parking problems with early PS

[fizz13]

Hi! I have been reading in a couple of threads that people were not able to get an early PS at AK because they weren't allowed in the parking lot. Does anyone have experience of the same problem at MK or Epcot? I have an early PS at each park in a couple of weeks and would hate to miss them:

Crystal Palace at 8:10am
PSB at 8:50am (is an EE day but we are off-site)

Thanks for any advice you can give,
Claire

We have had an 8:05 PS at Crystal Palace (twice!) and have had no problems getting in the parking lot. I've never gone to Epcot for an early PS, so can't help you with that one.

If you are staying at a Disney resort they have special early morning buses that will take you to your breakfast.
Sorry, just noticed that you are staying off site. I know that getting into the AK early was very difficult in the past for cars. I don't know about the others.

Can't help you with Epcot, but I had no problem at MK getting to an 8:10 PS at Cindy's. I definately had a problem getting into AK.

What do you do if you have an early PS for AK?? We do in early Feb and are staying offsite with our own cars. Will we have a problem parking in the lot? Who do we call to ask about this? Thanks!

I did have trouble getting into the Epcot parking lot on a non-early entry day, and I was an on-site guest. They wouldn't let anyone through the parking gates.

We got there around 7:40 for an 8:15PS at the PSB, and we didn't get to go through the gates till 8:00 sharp!!! We then had to park, go through the PS line at the gates and get all the way to Norway to check in for our PS! We did still make it in time to see the opening (barely!), but we didn't have a chance at being the family with the opening princess! We sat in the line watching the monorails whip in, and we were staying at the Poly - DH kept complaining that we shouldn't have taken the car, but we had plans to go to Downtown Disney after breakfast!
