Dining at the resorts

[disneygirlatheart]

Hi to all. First time to Disney and need help please. We have adr for ohana and wcc in July at 8:30 different days. We are looking to enjoy dinner then looking around the resorts. What is the best way to do this with the 3 hour limit on parking? I need to say we are staying off site. We were hoping to enjoy the fireworks at Ohana either while at dinner or after. Are there fireworks at Wilderness Lodge? Would it be better to park at downtown disney and take a bus to the resorts? How long does dinner usually take? How long does touring the resorts take? I know it is a lot of questions Sorry but I need lots of help since first time at Disney. Thanks to all.

Hi..I think 3 hrs will probably be fine to have a meal and look around. I would say allow 2 hrs for the meal but it will probably be less than that.
If you want to see the fieworks ...it depends what time wishes is that night??
If wishes is at 9pm..then book a table for about 7pm...you should have time to eat your meal then wander down to the beach area to catch the fireworks.
Or if you are still in the restaurant at 9 you can watch them from there.
But I think it sounds nicer fron the beach
If you are worried about fitting this into 3 hrs you could always valet park..then it won't matter if you go over the 3 hours.

Keep in mind that if you wish you can park at the MK parking lot and walk over to the Polynesian from the TTC. It's very close. However, I agree, you should have no problem with the three hour pass.
