What time should we arrive?

[iluvdiznee]

We will be visiting Epcot on a Saturday and MK on a Sunday. I REALLY want to be @ MK before they open. I have NEVER accomplished that! I am always 30 minutes late! Do they open the parking lots early? i FORGOT, do you buy the ticket then get on the monorail or vice versa?

What about Epcot? Should we arrive early there too? OH, we don't have any small children. 11 and up. No special meals.
Thanks!

MK usually opens at 9am, except on EMH days. You don't mention WHICH Saturday and Sunday you're going, so it's hard to know if you're up against EMH crowds. But if you want to be at MK before it opens, just get there at 8:30am. No big mystery there. If it's an EMH morning, there will obviously already be people in the park, even if you're there before it opens to the public.

You can purchase tickets at the TTC (Transportation and Ticket Center) and then you get on the monorail. You should probably plan on hitting TTC by 8am. Parking lots open early -- you'll be able to get in, get parked, and all of that by 8am.
