Parking at TTC

[ProudSoccerMom]

Good morning! We’ll be at WDW in May after a five year hiatus and will have our car. I’m now starting from scratch since things have changed so much since our last visit. I wanted to ask this question as I couldn’t find a definitive answer online.

For a 9:00 am park opening, if we park at the TTC and take the monorail to MK, would we get there in time for rope drop? I’ve seen varying times online for when the TTC opens and I don’t want to miss rope drop. I remember during our last trip, the TTC didn’t open early enough to make it on time.

For us personally, we prefer to drive and park at the parks, so MK is the only variable right now. We’ll be at POFQ for the first few nights of our trip and then we’re moving to Boulder Ridge, so we’ll take the boat over to MK once we’re there.

Thanks in advance for your help!

If I recall correctly, the TTC transportation to MK options start 1/2 to 1 hour before park opening.

How else could guests make rope drop to MK from TTC if they didn't accommodate them?

You may wish to read the Everything Early theme Park Entry thread as there is a lot of helpful information in post 1. It is recommended you arrive at the MK parking booths at least 75 mins before ETPE begins.

Most find taking Disney transportation to be easier than driving to MK but, it’s a personal choice.

Thank you! I completely understand. It’s definitely a personal choice. We visited WDW annually for 15 years until 2020, and driving/parking is what always worked best for us. I appreciate the reply.

Thanks! I just remember our last year visiting that the monorail would not have gotten us there on time. I don’t remember which park, though. Anyway, thanks!

Some years ago, when Magic Kingdom opened early for resort guests, the first express monorail and the first ferry from Transportation & Ticket Center were timed to arrive at MK 15 minutes before public opening.
