time from MK parking to lot to MK?

[redsbe]

I have a co-worker passing through Orlando on business next month she is planning one day stop at MK. She is aiming for RD, so how much earlier should she be in the MK parking lot? Trying to consider average time to get from parking lot to the MK gate before it opens. Thanks

I'd get to the lot by 8:00a, maybe 8:15a at the very latest.

I agree

the big time unknown is where the transportation is once she arrives. The ferry takes 7.5 minutes (or so I'm told) to cross the Seven Seas Lagoon - so if it is there waiting for you to load and leaves immediately you are there early! If it is on the other side of the lagoon and has to travel back, unload, reload and then sail again well that takes more time.

Before 8:30 only the resort monorail is running and not all that often (at least when we go). At 8:30 the express monorail starts running which is faster - assuming it is running and not having any problems.

We traditionally leave our hotel room (AS Music) an hour before RD and are there in plenty of time (granted it's not a long drive from the resort to MK).

So yes -arrive around 8/ 8:15 and she should be in good shape!

when she gets picked up from the parking lot will she then be dropped off at a central location and from there walk on to ferry or the monorail?

From your car, you can take a parking tram or walk to the TTC. At the TTC you can take the ferry or the monorail to the MK front entrance.
