    Panicking!!! Just read an answer stating the Parking Lots for the Parks do not open till 15 minutes before the parks open. What do I do if staying offsite and was planning to drive to an 8:05 am ADR at Tusker House on a 9:00 am opening?

    Hi Kerri - you probably read that the parking lot at the Animal Kingdom has been known to open 15 minutes before the park opens.  But don't panic - you can still get to the park with plenty of time for your Tusker House advance dining reservation.

    I'd recommend that you park at the Ticket and Transportation Center, which also serves as the parking lot for the Magic Kingdom.  From the Ticket and Transportation Center, you can take a bus directly to the Animal Kingdom.  I have found that these buses run frequently and are rarely crowded.

    I hope you enjoy your vacation, especially breakfast at Tusker House.  My family ate there this May and the kids really loved it!
