Parking for EMH

[son3disfan]

Here's the scoop...
Disney resort guest ( POP ) wanting to go to MK in the morning and finish off my day at Epcot for evening EMH. Not sure if I park at Epcot in the morning if I could get to MK by
Monorail that early in the morning ( 7:30) or if the parking attendents are even there ( at Epcot) that early to let us through...
I prefer to take the car since parking is free for resot guests. Anyone have suggestions?And if I park at Magic Kingdom (that closes at 9:00) can I get my car at 11:00?
Crazy questions I'm sure for some of you EXPERTS! I would love your advice!

If you're going to DRIVE, you COULD just DRIVE between the parks WHEN you HOP.

While I think "usually" the lots and Epcot/MK monorail are open by 7:30 AM (that's not very early at WDW), you will not know for SURE until you try it ("usually" is not "always").

As far as MK parking goes, the entrance to that lot is also the entrance to all of the Monorail RESORTS, so the gates are manned 24/7.

You'd need to ASK that day if the Epcot/MK monorail will still be running that late (it LIKELY IS, but again, "usually" is not "always").

Thanks! Silly , I never thought of driving to both parks....
I guess I thought the transportation system would be easier or faster...
Not always I guess..

Yes, you could either drive to both the parks. Or you could take disney transportation in the morning to MK and then go back to the hotel and drive to Epcot at night. That way you aren't dealing with tons of people on the buses when Epcot closes.

Buses and monorails are free too....

We much prefer the Disney transportation to driving.

Parking for MK is at the TTC, so I would park there and ride the monorail to Epcot (just for the fun of it) and then ride the monorail back to the TTC after EMH. The problem you might run into driving to Epcot is that by the time you get there in the afternoon, you will have to park way far out, whereas if you ride the monorail, you get closer to the park entrance.

I agree about the far parking at epcot at night....that's why I thought there was an easier way.... Guess will take the Bus...
Thanks!
