Can we leave car at CR?

Will have a car for the first time this visit. Have ADR's for Chef Mickey's on Sunday March 14th @ 7:30. Was wondering if after dinner we could just leave our car at CR and head over to MK for EMH. MK is the only park that has parking lot access problems for us. Is there a way we can park as DVC members? Maybe at BLT. On a side note do we have access to TOTWL with home resort of OKW?

Techincally you shouldn't leave your car parked after dinner at the contemporary as the parking lot is for guests staying at the resort and those dining there not for theme park access.

The TOTWL is for members staying on points at BLT only.

Officially self parking is only allowed for 3 hours. But that late at night they will probably not be checking. If they give you a 3 hour pass (probably will not), I would move it to the MK lot after dinner.

Only those members staying at BLT have access to TOTWL.

A 3 hour parking pass will be issued for the purpose of dining.

If your plans will exceed the time alotted then please park in the MK lot & take the monorail over to CR.

As Elise79 said, the TOWL is currently only available to members staying at BLT on points. If you are staying at OKW you will not be granted access. I'm sure if a policy change comes about it will be noted on the member site (and discussed in great detail here on the DIS ).

I guess I will let the family walk over after dinner while I go through the process of parking the car. Will meet up with them in the park. Thanks for the info.

Another option, since you are planning on doing the EMH, why not just take Disney transportation? Durning the park hours, it's easy to get to the resorts, so take Disney transportation to the Contemporary, and then walk to the MK and have the quick bus access back after EMH from MK. I would NOT consider parking at TTC....it just takes a lot longer than grabbing a bus from MK at the end of a long day. I'd much rather take the additional time to get to dinner than suffer the additional time at the END of the day. For that matter, taking Disney transportation to dinner at the Contemporary isn't so difficult either, because you can bus to MK and it's a quick walk from there...or a monorail ride if you want to do that and take some extra time.

Agreed - it's much more efficient to take the bus from your resort to MK, and then walk over to CR. The bus depot for MK is essentially right across the street from CR - it'll take you less than 10 minutes to walk it. You'll likely do more walking if you park at TTC. And, when you're done at MK, just jump on the bus to get back to your resort.
