Logistics help with Kona Cafe

[lyv4him]

We have an early reservation and we drive. We will visit MK that day. Can we park at MK parking lot for early reservation for Kona? And how would we get to an early reservation?

It's just a short walk from the TTC parking lot to Kona--we do it all the time when we have breakfast there.

MY guess is the TTC lot is open before even the earliest Kona breakfast time.

So does that mean we park at MK parking lot? I'm confused. We are staying at Bonnet Creek.

The MK parking lot is the TTC. Park there, and walk to the Poly. It is a very short walk.

Awesome! Are there signs that say Poly? Sorry I'm clueless.

You can park at the Ticket and Transportation center and walk to the Polynesian. Instead of going to the monorail area go to the left out of the area. There is a path right at the Polynesian. You will be walking through the entire resort to get to the main building. There are maps at the resorts to help you find your way. After breakfast you can take the monorail from there over to the MK. I have only walked this the opposite way. So hopefully these directions will help you.

This is correct. The path from the TTC will take you to the Grand Ceremonial House. Once you enter, via the pool area, there is a stairway to your right that will take you up to Kona Café, past O'Hana's. If needed, there are elevators to the left upon entering the Grand Ceremonial House.

Here is a shot of the map - the large grey area with lines is where you will park at TTC (Magic Kingdom Parking) and you can see Poly up there right next to it on the upper left.

 

[Uncleromulus]

Nothing to it--you can see the Poly right from the TTC lot. It's just a short walk.

And then after breakfast, just hop the Poly monorail and head to the MK

You are all AWESOME! Thank you!

I believe you could also park at the Polynesian and take the monorial or the boat over to and from MK if you wanted a change in scenery/routine.

You can only park at the Poly and then go to the MK if you pay to valet park at the Poly. Resort hotel parking is not designed for, or large enough for theme park parking. They allow a maximum of 3 hours for dining and shopping before you are supposed to move your car. It is well posted.
OP You got great advice from others.

I did it once when we had 2 Poly dining reservations the same day, one at Kona for 12 and another at O'Hana for 6 and didn't know any better. I apologize, I wasn't trying to advise doing anything against the rules or unethical. I stand corrected and attempted to delete my post but was unable. Sorry for the misinformation and thanks for the correction.

One further note:
If you take the tram from the parking lot at the TTC, it will discharge you on the sidewalk in front of the booths that sell tickets. When you get off the tram, don't follow the crowd. Instead, turn to your left and start walking down the sidewalk. You will see the Poly in the distance over the trees. Right before you reach the end of the sidewalk (likely about a 100 yard walk), there is a sign that says "Polynesian Village Resort". Walk across the one or two car access road to the next sidewalk. Follow that sidewalk. It will take you right to the Grand Ceremonial House.

If you get confused, there are always CM's nearby.

 

[Uncleromulus]

Yep--once inside the Poly just keep left and follow the sidewalk the parallels the parking lot.

You can take the inside sidewalks, but a bit out of the way.

Most likely you will even beat the monorail by just walking!!
