Best locations to drop off for the parks?

My wife and I are only going to EPCOT on this visit, but my son and his girlfriend are going to all 4 parks. Where are the best drop off losctions for Animal Kingdom and Disney Studios? We are doing breakfast at Kona Cafe so that's where we are taking them on their Magic Kingdom day.

You can drive to the parks and let them know you are just dropping guests off. They will direct you to the drop off area. You won't have to pay, but you can't park in those areas.

Kona Cafe is at the Polynesian resort which is a WDW resort, so they could also use WDW transportation and hop on a bus at the resort to the parks. WDW Transportation will take them to the main front entrance of each park, this is not always possible when dropping off in a private vehicle as the drop-off/pick-up zones are typically further away from the entrances in parking lots.

At DHS, the drop-off location is actually closer than the bus loops. At AK, it's maybe 20 yards further from the gate. Really not a big deal. Also, OP mentioned that they are doing Kona on their MK day, from which they would need to take the monorail or boat over to the park.
