I have often been told "you should totally have a blog!" Well here I am trying it out. I absolutely love going to Disney World. I would go anytime of the year if given the opportunity. I have been in August, February, April, October & November a good variety through out the year. My ultimate goal is to get there and participate in a RunDisney event, (or all of them.) But in the mean time I love to talk to people about their upcoming trips, and help plan and answer questions people may have. We have done a lot in Disney, still a lot to discover. I am pretty good at answering questions or finding the answer to a what you maybe wondering. So I will offer my help, I will write about some things folks have asked about in planning their magical trips. We will start the first installment of questions answered about the parking.
Disney has a huge piece of property with four theme parks, two water parks, and over 20 hotels, no wonder how to get around is confusing. I will divide this into two sections staying on property vs staying off.
Staying on property:
When you stay on Disney property, meaning you stay at any of the Disney owned hotels, they provide a variety of transportation to all the theme parks. You can step outside your hotel and take a bus, a boat, or the monorail. When taking anyone of these options to the Magic Kingdom they will all drop you off in around the same area.
In the handy Google image above you can see when staying on property you will be dropped off very close to the entrance to the park. They really do make it easy, and magical. Just note when taking the bus system to and from your hotel they do not drop you off in the exact spot you will be picked up. But they have signs to help you find your way after a tired day.
Side Note: This is also where you will go if you have a dinning reservation at any other Disney hotel. Say you are staying at the Art of Animation and are going to have breakfast at Cape May at Disney's Beach Club Resort. Hop on the bus that says Magic Kingdom at your hotel. Hop off the bus here at the entrance to the Magic Kingdom and hop on the bus that says to the Beach Club. It is a bit crazy I know but really isn't hard, just takes time. And no park passes required!
When staying off property:
When staying off property you will either be taking your car, or a bus provided by the hotel. In either case they drop you off at the ticket and transportation center.
In the handy dandy Google image above you will see when you drive your car you will park in the huge parking lot. Then there is a tram for those who have to park so very far from the TTC (ticket and transportation center). This is also the place to get your park tickets if you haven't already, or will call if you will. :) Where I wrote "monorail" you can kind of see under it, that is the bus drop off for the hotels that are off property. Once you get to the TTC or Monorail area you will take the monorail to the entrance to the Magic Kingdom!!
I would plan about an hour from leaving your hotel, on and off property hotels, until you get inside the Magic Kingdom. This will be in case there are any other cars heading the same way that day, you would not want to miss your dinning reservation or your fast pass+ time because you where stuck in traffic or the bus was delayed. The cast members who will be around the parking lots and ticket booth are very helpful if you have any questions. Getting into the park can take time but so very worth it! Have a magical day!
Let me know if you have any Disney World Questions I can help you out with, and as always Thank You of reading!
