Hello there, Kaylynn! Welcome to
planDisney, and thank you so much for stopping by with your question. I love that you’re planning to arrive bright and early. That’s one of the very best ways to maximize your time at
Magic Kingdom Park!
You’re absolutely right. Aladdin is one of the closest sections of the Magic Kingdom parking lot, and if you’re among the first to arrive, chances are you’ll be placed right up front. The walk from those very first parking spaces to the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes on foot. It’s a relatively flat and easy walk, and the excitement in the air makes it fly by quickly!
That said, the exact distance can vary depending on how early you arrive and how they’re routing cars that morning. The parking Cast Members will guide you to the next available row, so while you may not get the absolute front spot, being there early definitely gives you a solid chance!
You’ll also have the option to hop on the parking tram, which runs continuously from the lots to the TTC. Even if you're in the front sections, you’re more than welcome to ride the tram. It can save some energy for park time and is especially helpful if you're wrangling little ones or carrying bags. Plus, it's part of the fun!
Once you’re at the TTC, you'll have the choice to ride the
Monorail or the
Ferryboat over to Magic Kingdom Park, and since you’re arriving early, you’ll likely be one of the first in line for both! There’s nothing quite like watching the sun rise over Cinderella Castle with hardly anyone else around.
Kaylynn, it sounds like your day is already off to a magical start! If you have any other questions as you plan your early morning adventure, we’re always here and so happy to help.
Warm hugs,
Ana Paula
