NOTE: We find this to be a really great activity for either the first night at
WDW, or the last night before going home. Good time for family bonding, and
nice to veg-out.

Thanks. Is it listed anywhere on the site? If it's 8:00 I have time tonight but not 7:00.

Well, we made it there last night but it took ages. It was dark at that time and I found the place very confusing. I would like to go back but have another question.

When we got off the boat (we parked at TTC), as we were walking off I noticed the line to get on the boat was INSANE. As I asked around, I was told the only way to get back was to take a boat (whether it was to Wilderness Lodge or MK). This was around 8:00pm Any idea why that line was so long? My son wanted to stay for the movie but I made him leave because I was worried we wouldn't get back easily with that long line. As it was, by the time we got to the dock, there was hardly anyone there (and the water parade was going).


Can you park at this resort during the day without a dinner reservation? If yes, is there a fee? What if you have an AP?
