1900 Park Fare breakfast before MK?

[bangzoom6877]

What is the earliest ADR time for breakfast at 1900 Park Fare? If we go there at the earliest possible ADR time, is it possible for us to still make rope drop (or within 15 minutes after rope drop) at MK, on a regular morning WITHOUT extra magic hours? We're not going on any of the thrill rides or Dumbo at MK, so getting there just after rope drop would be fine, I think.

I am also concerned about how to get to the GF without having to drive. We're staying at BWV, and we wanted to take the bus to MK. But, I know that the monorail doesn't start running until a certain time (don't know what that time is), so it might be very difficult to get to the GF with the bus.

OK, Plan B, if we must drive...and please don't flame me...we will have the TiW card, and I know that entitles us to free valet parking at a resort where we will be dining, provided we show them the receipt hen we retrieve the car. We did this last year at the Contemporary when we ate at Chef Mickey's and we were running late, so it was just easier to valet it. But...would we be able to valet park, for free because of the TiW card, then eat breakfast at 1900 PF, then go to MK via either the boat or monorail, and then return to retrieve our car in the early afternoon when we leave the park? Or would we have to pay for valet parking since it is several hours after actually dining? And yes, I am well aware that you cannot self-park at a resort in order to access a theme park, but I have also read that you can valet it because it doesn't affect the resort guests' self-parking.

The earliest ADR for 1900 Park Fare is 8:05 a.m. You will probably make it to MK shortly after rope drop assuming the park opens at 9.

I'm pretty sure there is a 3 hour limit if you are valet parking free with your TiW card. If you pay to valet, then you can leave your car there as long as you want.

I'm by no means a TiW expert though, so I'm sure someone who is will chime in.

Thank you! We would be going on a morning when the park opens at 9am, so this should work. In my experience, character breakfasts have taken no more than one hour (including 1900 PF last summer), and we always got to see all the characters. So I'm sure we could at least get to MK by 9:15 or 9:30.

Hmm...3 hour limit for the free valet...I wonder if the monorail runs early enough to get to the GF for an 8:05 ADR, so that we could take the MK bus from BWV, then the monorail to GF and not have to drive. If not, I guess we would just end up driving to the GF and then to the TTC. Or just pay the valet and keep the car at the GF until we go back to BWV...it would probably take less time to get to MK that way anyway.

We had the earliest time - 8 am. It was very disorganized. There were people lined up waiting for them to open the restaurant. They opened later than 8 am. We did not get seated until at least 8:10, and we arrived at around 7:50 am. I don't know if this was unusual, but we missed rope drop by a long shot.

The resort monorail runs early enough to reach 1900 PF before 8 am. We took it from the Poly and it was very quick. I think it started running at 7:30 am.
