    How early can we park at Animal Kingdom in Orlando?

    Jambo, Missy! I am thrilled you stopped by planDisney on your way to a wild time at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park.

    I know you are so close to the magic, so I will be as quick as Tarzan to help you swing a spot in the parking lot. On June 29, Animal Kingdom opens at 7:30 a.m. for Early Theme Park Entry. The lots usually open about an hour before the park opens its doors for Guests. 

    Be sure to check out the helpful Car Locator feature of the My Disney Experience app. It's saved me when I could not remember if my day started with a Peacock, Unicorn, Dinosaur, Giraffe, Butterfly, or Yeti. I always think I will remember, but with this feature, it's one less thing for me to worry about. Hakuna Matata!

    Missy, I hope your day also includes a moment to paws and say hello to Baby Bakso. He's absolutely purr-fect!

    If you have any other questions, we are always here for you at planDisney.
