    How early can we park at the MK Transportation and Ticket Center? We want to park there and bus over to Animal Kingdom for the morning, then bus back to MK for the rest of the day. Is this a realistic plan?

    Hi, Michael!
    Thanks for reaching out to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. It totally makes sense to want to park your car near the park where you plan to end your day.

    The parking in the Transportation and Ticket Center opens two hours before Magic Kingdom Park opens. You'll need to take the Monorail or Ferry over to the park so you can catch a park bus to Animal Kingdom Theme Park. According to the Walt Disney World Resort website, park to park buses start running 45 minutes before a park opens. If you arrive in the Transportation and Ticket Center around 6:30 AM, you will have ample time to get over to Magic Kingdom (which opens at 8:00 AM) and walk over to the buses to snag a park bus starting at 7:15 AM (because Animal Kingdom Theme Park also opens at 8:00 AM). 

    You may start your day focused on a lot of transportation. It may not be the fastest process, but I know you'll be glad to have your car already in place after a full and magical day.
