    Tks for previous ans. I am hearing that the parking lot at AK doesn't open until about 15 mins before park. I have ADR 1 hr before park opening and need to drive. What do I do about parking?

    Hi Stacey, yes, the parking lot at the Animal Kingdom does typically open about 15 minutes before the park opens.  If you are driving to the park, I'd recommend that you plan to park at the Ticket and Transportation Center (TTC), which also serves as the parking lot for the Magic Kingdom. 

    From the Ticket and Transportation Center, you can take a bus direct to Animal Kingdom.  They run quite frequently, and I've found that they aren't too crowded.

    Once you get to the front of the Animal Kingdom, there's an entrance set up especially for those with early advance dining reservations.  You can give the name to the cast members at that entrance and they will let you through.

    Have a great vacation!  I hope you love breakfast at Tusker House - my family really loved it when we were there last month!
