Parking at Contemporary question

[kimbac3]

Just wanted to check if I got this correct. I have a 7:30am ADR at Chef Mickeys and plan to spend the rest of the day after at Epcot.
I need to drive to the Contemporary, paying the parking fee for MK then after breakfast I'll drive to Epcot and show my parking pass to park there.
I'm looking at the map on my Passporter and it appears as though I can't get to the Contemporary without paying the parking fee. Is this correct???
Also is their regular parking there or only valet (to use the restaurant only)?

Can anyone give me some more info. I'm a little confused??
Thanks,
Kimba

I'm not sure you have to pay or not....I do know that when we stayed at the Polynesian, we had to go through the MK parking gates, we stayed to the far right and told them that we had reservations at the Polynesian, we didn't have to pay to get through. After the 1st time through, we had our Parking pass for the resort.

If it's just a meal reservation, I'm not sure!

When you get to the MK parking booths stay all the way to the right. You won't pay. Follow signs to the Contemporary. Tell the guard that you have an ADR for Chef Mickey's. He'll give you a temporary parking pass for the Contemporary. I think it's for 3 hours and will tell you to park in a certain area. After your breakfast you can then drive to EPCOT and pay to park there.
