    Hello! We scheduled breakfast at Chef Mickey's for 7:30 AM, and planned to take the monorail over to MK after breakfast from the Contemporary. Would we be able to park at the MK parking lot and take the Monorail to the contemporary that early?

    Hi, Joseph!

    Breakfast at Chef Mickey's is the perfect way to start your magical day. Bring your autograph books and have your camera ready as you meet Chef Mickey himself! His pals will rotate around the restaurant and stop by your table for even more Disney fun. I hope you arrive hungry because there will be plenty of Mickey shaped waffles waiting for you and your family!

    You can certainly park at the Magic Kingdom parking lot. After you park, take the tram to the TTC. From there, hop on the Resort Monorail which will conveniently drop you off at Disney's Contemporary Resort. After your Chef Mickey breakfast, use the convenient walkway to Magic Kingdom (about a 10-15 minute walk) or hop back on the monorail and exit at the Magic Kingdom stop. 

    If you find you are running late that morning, you are able to park at the Contemporary for your breakfast. A parking lot security guard will direct you to 3-hour parking. After breakfast, you would need to move your car into the main Magic Kingdom parking lot, but it is an option if you need some extra time that morning!

    You will not want to miss the Festival of Fantasy Parade while visiting the Magic Kingdom. All of your favorite Disney characters will be on hand at this amazing afternoon parade. Check the entertainment schedule for exact times.

    Joseph, you really have a fun day planned! I am sure it is going be full of magical moments for you and your family.
