Beginning and Ending MK Day with Contemporary ADRs - Parking?

[LittleMissMagic]

We'll be at WDW on June 3 for one day before our cruise from Port Canaveral. We aren't spending the night at WDW - we are going to go ahead and drive to PC so that the next morning will be a little less hectic (we'll be returning to WDW after the cruise and spending the weekend at the Beach Club Resort).

We have an 8:10 AM ADR at Chef Mickey's. We plan on spending the day at Magic Kingdom. We also have a 9:30 PM ADR at California Grill. Where should we park? It would be most convenient if we could park at the Contemporary since we'll need to change from our theme park attire for dinner at CG. However, I've been reading that they only issue 3-hour parking passes.

Would it be best to park at TTC that morning, take the resort monorail all the way around to CM, then walk/monorail to MK - then that evening take the monorail to TTC and move our car to the Contemporary?

I would valet the car at the CR in the morning ($12 plus tip) and then retrieve it after dinner. If you valet the car, you can leave it there the entire day.

[Edit: After reading your post again, it sounds like you might need to get your even attire clothes from the car after coming back from the MK. You can still valet, just keep in mind you will need to retrieve the car, get what you want, and then valet it again. You don't have to pay for valet a second time. Alternatively, yes, you could park at the TTC in the morning, take the monorail to CM, then go to MK, then at the end of the day, retrieve your car and drive over to the CR.]

Your original suggestion of parking at the TTC, then moving the car before dinner is probably the most practical .

I personally think that's the best option for you to do.

I would be inclined to use the all day valet myself and just make other arrangements for my clothes/freshening up stuff. Can you prepare a small bag and put it in a locker for the day? Would you be able to have the luggage folks hold it for the day?

Perhaps we could valet in the morning and then that evening, we can return to the resort and get the things from our car and then use a 3-hr parking pass?
