AK parking lot

[normmo]

On another board they were discussing whether you could drive to the AK parking lot prior to the park opening or if you would be detained until fifteen minutes until park opening. Has anyone heard of Disney doing this? Apparently it's happened to a few people but doesn't make any sense. Why would people who take Disney buses be allowed to line up but those driving have to wait to get into the parking lot.
We're driving in November and for the first time don't plan on taking Disney transportation but may have to re-think that if this is true.

yes they are doing it and i for one am totally annoyed! for EE day at AK they held the cars at the booths until about 7:50am.

i cannot figure out WHY they are doing this and plan to email disney about it. they do not do it at any other park either.

I was thinking that they should hold up cars at the toll booth to inhibit day guests from getting into the early entry park early. Except that congestion and air pollution is increased.

At Magic Kingdom guests are (always?) held up at the Transportation & Ticket Center because the express monorail and ferry don't start running until close to normal opening time.

But what if you are staying on property and driving? You would still be entitled to early entry, right? That seems weird!

We have had this problem as well when trying to get there for an 8:00 AM PS for the breakfastasaurus. We will be doing this again in Sept. and I was hoping it wouldn't be a problem agian.

What e-mail address should I use to send my complaints?

Thanks,
