    What time does the magic kingdom parking lot open?

    Welcome to planDisney, Lakeisha, and welcome to the magic of the Walt Disney World Resort! It looks like you might be headed to Magic Kingdom Park today, so I'm going to jump right into your question so you can get back to enjoying your vacation!

    Lakeisha, the parking lot at Magic Kingdom typically opens about 60 minutes before Early Theme Park Entry, or 90 minutes before standard park opening time. For access to the Magic Kingdom, you'll park your vehicle at the Transportation and Ticket Center and then hop on board a Disney Ferryboat or the Disney Monorail to be transported to a world of yesterday, fantasy, and tomorrow! 

    If you're staying as a guest at a Disney Resort hotel, remember that you're able to access select attractions in Fantasyland and Tomorrowland 30 minutes before the park opens! Recently, there have also been reports of character sightings as some of your favorites are out and about welcoming guests to a magical day!

    Lakeisha, I hope this helps! I love to be among the first to tap into the magic at this park (it's my favorite of the four theme parks!) because that early morning atmosphere feels so warm and welcoming! I hope you'll have a similar experience! If you have any other questions, please feel free to come see us again real soon here at planDisney!

    Magic Awaits,
    Alison
