Early parking at Magic Kingdom?

[Derb]

We have an early morning reservation at Chef Mickey's on our MK day...how early can we park in the Magic Kingdom lot and take a monorail over to the CR? Never done this, but I would like to...breakfast is at 7:10am.

MK does not have a lot, you have to go to the transportation center and catch a monorail or boat. The monorail is not running until 9 or 9:30 I believe due to maintenance. We are in the same "boat" per say. We wanted to drive to TC and catch monorail for our early ADR to Crystal Palace

If anyone has any suggestions, or info that would help, I would love to know, are we going to have to take a BUS to get there early???
