Driving from AoA to parks each day?

[ariel53098]

We are thinking about driving to the parks each day instead of using the bus. If we want to get there at rope drop, how much time should we allow for driving to each park, parking, taking the tram, etc.?
TIA!

For Epcot, HS and AK, I would say 30 to 40 minutes prior to rope drop is okay for non-prime times. Add an additional 10 minutes during peak times.

For MK, I would say 1 hour. (15 minutes to drive, 15 minutes for monorail to MK, 15 minutes through bag check and ticket entry).

All that said, I usually get yelled at for getting to places too early.....

I was at AoA on Tuesday and I agree, 15 minutes for drive (25 for MK), 15 min for Tram (being generous), and then another 10-15 for "extra", so about an hour I would say.
