    Once arriving in the standard parking lot and pay, do you pay for the transportation to Magic Kingdom as well? If there early enough, can you arrive in MK without the early pass?

    Hi Samantha! You are getting so much closer to your Walt Disney World Resort vacation! So, it sounds like your magic carpet might not be working right now, so let’s get you some transportation tips!

    Guests pay for parking upon arrival at the Magic Kingdom parking area. There are no additional transportation fees after paying for parking. After parking, you’ll make your way to the Ticket and Transportation Center (TTC). You can either walk to the TTC or take a tram. When you arrive at the TTC, you'll board either the Monorail or the ferryboat headed for Magic Kingdom! Again, there are no fees for riding the Monorail or the ferryboat. The same is true for when you leave the park to return to your car.

    Guests staying at a Disney World hotel can enter Magic Kingdom 30 minutes before all other Guests. Other Guests will be allowed to enter at the posted opening time. 

    Samantha, you’re visiting at such a fun time of year! The fall and Halloween decorations look perfect! One of my favorite things to do at this time of year is to enjoy the Mickey-shaped jack-o'-lantern pumpkin wreaths as I walk along Main Street, U.S.A.

    Dreams do come true!
