Insane Day on WDW Property Advice!

[cd&kids]

Okay...here's the wacky itinerary for one of our days:
Magic Kingdom in the morning...MGM Studios in the afternoon...Ohana for dinner.
We are staying off site and have a rental car. Was thinking about parking at TTC...monorail to MK...then back to the car and a drive to MGM....then drive back to Ohana.
Is there another option you'd recommend? Busses maybe??
Thanks!

Any chance on doing MGM first, then MK, and then finishing with dinner at O'hanas? That would cut down on your travel time quite a bit since O'hanas is easy to get to by Monorail from MK. And TTC is really close to Polynesian, so you could just walk from the Poly back to the parking lot trams.

If that will work for you, try this:

Drive to MGM and park in their lot.

When finished with MGM, drive to Magic Kingdom and parking at TTC. (Do not pay for parking. Show your MGM receipt which is good all day, at all lots.) Take either ferry boat or monorail to MK.

When ready for dinner at O'hanas, take resort monrail to Polynesian. The monorail station at the Poly is on the second floor, which is the same floor at O'hanas, so just walk straight back and to the left.

If there are MK fireworks that evening, ask for a window table or near a window. They dim the lights in the restaurant and pipe in the theme park music - very cool.

When finished with dinner, walk out along path to TTC (5-10 minute walk) or ride monorail.

HTH, Steve

Thanks, Steve. Unfortunately, (or fortunately, actually!) we have an early breakfast p.s. right by MK....so we want to hit that first. Then when we get "tired" of MK late morning/early afternoon, off to MGM.
I realize that Ohana is right there by MK, but just the way the week fell into place with restaurants, this night is the only open one for Ohana...and I hear it's great....will be our first visit.

Drive and park at the TTC/also known as the MK parking lot and take the monorail to the MK. When you want to head over to MGM just take a bus from MK to MGM. When it is time to come back to Ohana for dinner just take a bus from MGM back to the MK and then the monorail to the POLY. After dinner you can walk over to the TTC from the POLY and get your car.
