Reservation Prior to Park Opening

[Tanya Tink]

We have an upcoming Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique reservation at 8 am and MK opens at 9 am that day. We are staying off site, so we were planning on parking at the TTC. However, I was told by a CM that the ferry (the earliest form of transportation) starts running at 7:30 am that day and that taking the 7:30 am ferry may be cutting it close for our reservation. But that CM also said that the parking area at the TTC probably wouldn’t open until 8 am. Does anyone have any advice for us on how to best get to our Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique reservation on time?? Even if we had a dining reservation at a monorail resort to be able to park at that resort and then walk to MK, we wouldn’t make it in time since the earliest reservation is 7:30 am.

Generally the parking lots open an hour before the 30-minute early entry starts at that park, so on that day the TTC should open at 7:30. You'll be one of the first cars in if you get there that early and should be able to park close and not need the tram, but you will have to use the monorail or ferry to get to MK. The express monorail may be faster than the ferry.

Not sure if this still happens but we had an early entry once and they were putting all of us on a bus and taking us over to the MK prior to ferry/monorail running.

I agree with @musicguy856. You will want to arrive at the MK parking entrance early - at least an hour before your BBB reservation is my recommendation.

You are not eligible to park at a resort without a dining reservation and even those with a dining reservation must move their car to TTC once dining is complete.

Thank you for responses! That CM mentioned the monorail will start running from the TTC that day at 8 am, but maybe an express monorail or the buses will start running sooner? We’ll plan on getting to the TTC at 7:30 (or a little earlier) that day and hope for the best!

Ok good to know! Will they let us into the parking area at the TTC already at 7 am? Or just start lining up at the TTC parking entrance by 7 am or earlier?

The parking lot normally opens approx 1 hour before ETPE which means the MK parking lot booths should open at approx. 7:30.

Disney books reservations based on park hours and when everything starts moving.
