Rainforest Cafe @ AK Entrance question

[challer]

Does anyone know if there is a way to drive here without having to pay for theme park parking?

I don't plan on going into Animal Kingdom, and we want to have breakfast there. The Rainforest Cafe at Disney Springs isn't open for breakfast.

Thank for any help!

There is no way to drive there without paying for parking.

If you're staying onsite, you can take a bus to Animal Kingdom. Of course, if you were staying onsite, you'd get free parking, so I'm guessing you're offsite.

If you're not staying onsite, you can park at Disney Springs, walk over to Saratoga Springs, then catch a bus to AK from there.

are you going to a different Disney park that day? you do have to pay parking to go but if going to say MK after keep the receipt as you then will not have to pay again at MK

Nope. No park that day.

I guess I could Uber, but I don't think that's much of a savings.

Don't think it's worth the DSprings -> Saratoga -> AK.

Thanks, folks. Just curious.

If you have an annual pass, you park for free at the theme parks.

You'd be better off eating offsite. Less expensive and better food.

And just to clarify,Disney FROWNS on Guests parking at Disney Springs,leaving their car there and then taking a bus to a Park(They don't want Guests "dodging" paying for Theme Park parking using this "method"-The Mouse says NOT COOL!)

That's why there aren't buses to the theme parks until later on in the day from Disney Springs. And by taking the bus from SSR and parking at Disney Springs, you are taking advantage of something that DVC members pay for. Disney doesn't pay for buses to and from SSR. Just DVC owners at SSR. That's not cool for sure.

Just to clarify,there are NEVER buses from Disney Springs to the Theme Parks.

The "after 4:00 PM buses" from the Theme Parks to Disney Springs are "One Way" buses only.
