arrival at parks

[KMH79]

It seems in my planning everything else (ADRs, FP) I forgot the most basic thing. When to arrive. We have PPOs for Epcot, HS, and MK. How early should we plan to arrive at the gate for these?

Thanks

How well do you know the parks? Also keep in mind the fastpass window is an hour so you actually don't need to get to the attraction until an hour after the fastpass starts.

Generally about 15-20 minutes before the ADR would start they let people in for it.

It's been awhile. I just want to make sure we have enough time to get from the parking lot to the gate. What time should we be at the parking lot to get to the gate for PPOs? Do we need to be there 15/30 minutes before the let people in for PPO breakfasts?

MK you want at least 30 minutes, you don't park near the gate and need to take transportation around the lake. The rest 20 minutes is probably more than enough. This is based on the time from when your car is in a spot, not the time to get to a spot.

I also don't have little kids or a lot of stuff to slow me down, I walk a NYC pace, and I know the place blindfolded so perhaps others will chime in if my times are a little off for the average visitor.

I would be at the gates at 7:30. If you're staying on-site, it's easier to take the bus to MK.
