Disney first timer with Q's!

[Spanky2]

Hi,

I am going to WDW on Friday March 7 and I have a couple of Q's.

We are driving from Best Western Buena Vista hotel to the park, just going to MK for that one day. If I want to be there for the park "opening", what time do I need to leave the hotel? I am confused on how long it will take to drive the parking, get on the bus, and get to the front gates.

We also want to rent a double stroller. Will there be any chance we WON'T get one if we arrive early?

Thanks, I can't wait to go!

If you are staying offsite I am not sure if you can get there before park opening. You will have to park and then take the ferry or monorail to the MK. Not sure when those start running to the park.

Even people staying offsite can be at the turnstiles for park opening.

When you drive to the Magic Kingdom, you will park in a parking lot at the Ticket and Transportation Center. You will then get on a tram which will take you to the actual Ticket & Transportation Center. From there, you will need to get on either the ferry or the monorail.

Depending on how crowded it is, it could take a good bit of time to get to the actual park turnstiles. Just the parking, tram and then the ferry or monorail will take about 30 minutes or so. You also need to factor in time for the trip from your hotel to the parking lot. I haven't made the trip from the Best Western so I can't give time estimates on that trip.
