We have an 8:00am breakfast reservation at The Crystal Palace. We are not staying at a WDW resort, so we will be driving in and using the parking lot. Will the monorail be running early enough to get us there? If not, how do we get to the park? Thanks!

Question

Answer 1

Hi Brianna!

It all depends on the Magic Kingdom park opening time on the day of your reservation. The monorail begins pickup up to 1 hour before the park opens. So if the park opens, say, at 8am the day of, you can expect to catch the monorail as early as 7am. The easiest method would be to go to the Ticket and Transportation Center, then catch the monorail that does the Magic Kingdom/monorail resort loop (1st stop will be Contemporary, then Magic Kingdom).

Otherwise, you can just park at the Magic Kingdom parking lot to get in. Just a reminder that both parking locales will cost a fee, you'll also need to have park admission to get to the restaurant.

Hope this helps. Have a magical day!
