Breakfast at Rainforest Cafe AK? Park admission required yes or no?

So this spring, we are probably going to skip the AK park, but I was wondering if it was possible to still eat at the Rainforest Cafe there without park admission. We love their breakfast there, and it doesn't appear the DD location offers breakfast.

yes. there is an entrance to RFC before the AK turnstiles.

Ok, so there is a separate entrance, but do we still need to pay parking if staying offsite? Our hotel does provide shuttle (Wyndham Bonnet Creek), but it might be easier to drive.

You might have to pay for parking. We have been let in a couple times without paying when we have gone to eat only, but I don't know what the official rule is. They have two entrances to the Rainforest. One on the outside of the park and one on the inside of the park which is why you don't need a ticket to get in, but both entrances require you to drive into the parking lot. The shuttle at BC does not run very often which would be the biggest problem with taking it. We have never taken it but have seen quite a few people getting on and off at the resort.
