How long to get to MK from off-site?

[keishashadow]

We'll be staying offsite for a few days in June.

We've always stayed onsite & used EMH/WDW bus transp., I'm unsure of process/time required to actually get into the parks.

We have AP's & free parking. If I want to be @ MK for rope drop, how much time should I allow from the time we hit the parking/main entrance kiosks?

Does both the boat & monrail run in the a.m.?

TIA

Yes, the boat and monorail both run in the mornings. I like the boat better in teh morning; even though it fills up, it seems to have less of a wait than the monorail, and I love the view from the upper deck as I cross the Seven Seas Lagoon.

From the time I pass through the MK toll plaza till I get to the bag check line at the park gates usually takes me about 20 minutes, but I can move quickly because I have no kids, no strollers, no huge bags or backpacks to lug around with me. It can be even quicker I I get there early enough to get a parking space up close where you don't need to take the parking lot tram to get to the TTC.

Thanks for the info., sometimes it pays to travel light.
