We have an 8:00a.m. ADR for Crystal Palace on Monday and an 8:30a.m. ADR for Chef Mickey's on Thursday during our trip in April. We are staying at Windsor Hills in a condo, and I am clueless about the best way to get to these ADR's the easiest and quickest way possible. Please help? This is our first family trip!
also..should I maybe just try to change Crystal Palace to lunch so that would be easier and leave CM for breakfast, since I hear I can go straight to the CR and park for that?? I am lost!
 
Not too many options available to offsite guests other then driving to TTC and taking the boat or monorail to MK/Contemporary.
 
The current advice is, driving to ADR's early in the morning at Animal Kingdom, you park at Animal Kingdom Lodge and take the Disney bus. Just tell the resort guard you are visiting.

Often the Animal Kingdom parking lot does not open early enough. You do not want to be caught in the line of cars waiting at the toll booth where you can neither back up and continue on Osceola Parkway nor drive through to a chicken exit (after moving a cone) if time gets short.

I do not have any ADR's at the Animal Kingdom. I would like to know, though, a bit more detail about getting to the TTC, the monorail, etc. Like about long it will take getting from place to place, etc. Thanks.
 

Hi we have a breakfast at Chef Mickey at 8am as well(staying at WH) it is my understanding it is easiest to drive to Contempory and valet park. You can leave your car if you are going to go to MK after and you can take a monorail or walk to MK from Contemporary. If you do not valet park at Contemporary I think you can only leave your car 3 hours.

The ttc is basically a parking area and from there you can take a monorail to Chef Mickey. You can take a monorail or boat to MK. Think the ttc opens early, about 7am and if you have an ADr at MK they will let you in to the park early.

I'm in a similar situation, only instead of an AR, I want to be at AK for opening and end my day at MK, but am confused about where to park.

If you valet park at the contemporary, do they ask why you're there? I know you get a three hour parking pass otherwise, but If i drove up to security and got the three hour pass, then had them valet park the car, could I leave it there all day? Without worry? And how much is to Valet?
