    I have an upcoming trip and I would love to dine at Steakhouse 71 before going to Magic Kingdom. Can I park at the Contemporary and walk over after lunch? Or do I still need to park at and do the TTC, etc?

    Hey there, Kelly, and a big warm welcome to planDisney! 

    Ooooh, Steakhouse 71! What a fabulous choice! It’s a true hidden gem at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. I'm already dreaming of those stacked appetizers and juicy filets!

    Guests with Advanced Dining Reservations at a Disney Resort hotel, like the Contemporary, are eligible for complimentary self-parking for up to three hours. That gives you plenty of time to savor your meal and maybe take a peek at the shops or the incredible Mary Blair mural in the Grand Canyon Concourse.

    BUT, if you're thinking about heading over to Magic Kingdom after your meal, here’s a little tip to avoid any parking pixie dust disappearing.

    I recommend parking at the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC). From there, you can hop aboard the Monorail and be whisked over to Disney’s Contemporary Resort in just a few magical minutes! Not only is it a scenic ride with views of Seven Seas Lagoon, but parking at the TTC means you can stay and play in Magic Kingdom after your meal without worrying about a time limit or potential parking violation. After your adventure in the park, just take the Monorail or ferry back to the TTC and your car will be waiting, safe and sound. 

    Let me know if you’d like a few must-try dishes at Steakhouse 71 or help planning the rest of your magical day. I’m always happy to help you make your Walt Disney World visit as smooth and tasty, as possible! 

    Toodles,
