How much time to get to park at TTC and get to MK?

[juliekzp]

If we want to be at the MK gates at 8:30 am, what time should we be pulling into the TTC to park?

7:50-ish.
Depends on the date, of course. A very busy date can mean that there will be more guests there, earlier.

I would plan for at least 45 minutes, but would go with an hour to be sure. Once you park, you have to take the tram, then you have to have get off the tram and get on either the ferry or the monorail, then once you get to the park entrance, you have to go thru bag check, and at that time of the day, it tends to be more crowded.

I do not think at the time the OP wants to go they will be taking the tram I get there at 7 to 7:20 and I am normally in the first 3 row

I would take the ferry and the monorail tend to break down a lot.

I think getting there about 7:50 ( maybe a littler before if you really want to be the first ones) would give you plenty of time.

get in at 7:50 walk to the TTC take farry over the MK ( 8:10 ) go through Bag check 8:20 have 10 minutes left now if this is an EMH I would say get there even earlier

I would take the ferry, but, not because the Monorail breaks down a lot. (In all my years of traveling to WDW, I have never seen or been on a Monorail that has broken down) The reason I would go that way is that the ferry holds a whole lot of people so you have a better chance of being sure you get on at the first opportunity. With the Monorail, you might have to wait for the next one or even the next two depending on what day it is and the crowd level.

We went in summer (busy) and we were normally at the parking lot at 8:00 or 8:10, had no problem making rope drop. Granted we weren't the very first in line by any means, but we had no problems.
