Trouble parking at Polynesian for X-mas day ADR?

[chris7]

Hoping to have lunch at the Polynesian on X-mas day but am wondering if we'll be able to park there (we are not doing MK this day) or will be forced to park at TTC and take monrail?

I believe they'll let you in to park especially if you have a confirmed ADR. Should add that if by some chance you do need to park at the TTC, it's really only a short walk to the Poly.

You will need a confirmed ADR, they will have your name on a list. If not then Yes you will have to park at the TTC and walk over and as stated it is not that far.

If you have an ADR they will let you part at the hotel. They usually give you a three hour pass.

Be sure to have your confirmation numbers ready when going threw the Magic Kingdom toll gates. Last year on Christmas Day around 11:30 AM my family and I were at the Hess station by the Care Care Center and they were turning away cars from parking at the TTC, so be sure have your confirmation numbers at that time so you are not told to turn around before you can even get to the Polynesian.

Thats what I'm hoping...that if we have a ADR confirmation number they will let us park at a the Poly. I probably wouldn't mind walking from the TTC, I just don't want to pay for parking when we aren't going to the Magic Kingdom.

Now that I think about it the reason I hope not to park at TTC is that the crowds on X-mas day are insane and I did not want to deal with parking there. If I know for sure I can't park at Poly I'll probably pick somewhere else to eat X-mas day.

On a day like Christmas Day if you have an ADR at a Monorail Resort then you should be allowed to park there, because they would only let guests staying there and guests with ADR's in the parking lot. You also have to remember because it's Christmas Day, they will be more strict with the 3 hour parking limit.

If your staying at a Walt Disney World Resort you can park for free at the TTC. If your staying off site then tell them your just going to the Polynesian for an ADR and see what they say. I know your telling the truth that your not planning on going to the Magic Kingdom, it's just a matter of the Cast Member at the Magic Kingdom toll both believing you.

Xmas day may be insane everywhere at WDW!! Should add that many times we've gone to the Poly for just a drink at the Tambu Lounge. No ADR. We had no problems whatsoever--just got the standard 3 hour parking pass. But as CR resort fan says, a busy day like XMAS and they may be a bit more restrictive with parking. But that may also be the case at any WDW resort hotel.
I still think with an ADR you will have no trouble---.

We have gone on Christmas before and we needed to have ADRs to get into the resort. Once we were in, they didn't seem to care how long we were there for.

I think at the Magic Kingdom Resorts and the Epcot Resorts expect Caribbean Beach, on a day like Christmas Day they would be more strict for parking because of how close those Resorts are to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot. So my guess is at the other Moderate Resorts and Value Resorts would not be as strict.
