Made a Chef Mickey brunch ADR today...for 12/29!

[marshallandcartersmo]

For those that read my previous thread, I was looking for a place w/a character for a quick picture for someone in our party that’s never been to Disney, preferably at a resort (not going to the parks).
We planned on just resort hopping to look at decorations this trip...well today just for kicks i searched Chef Mickeys & there was a brunch opening! Moral of the story-try try again for that “last minute” ADR!

Anyway—what “plan” should we have? Staying about an hour or a little more out, arriving late morning, leaving late afternoon.
If we have a 12:50 ADR at Chef Mickeys, & would like to visit GF, Polynesian, & maybe WL too-what’s the best way (& timing) to tackle that? I think I read Contemporary parking is just 3 hours for an ADR-I’m sure we’d need more time than that.

TIA

Park in the MK parking lot (TTC) and take the monorail to/from any of the resorts along its route. If you want to visit WL, you can either drive there or take a shuttle boat from the Contemporary or MK front gates area.

It’s up to 3 hours while dining at that resort. If you’re leaving the resort, you’d need to live your car anyway.

If you park at TTC you will be charged a parking fee

If you valet park you will be charged a fee but can stay all day

Your dining adr allows 3 hours parking. With the peak crowds, that may be strictly enforced

Maybe disney springs? You can then bus to the contemporary and return via bus from whichever resort you end your tour.

If the weather is nice, consider renting some type of water craft? The sea racers are fun, but you have to be at least 12 to be a driver. Kids under age 12 can still be a passenger.
