    How can we get the the MK main entrance for 8am if we are not staying on resort? TTC monorail/ferry won't start until 30mins before official park opening (9am) meaning we can't get from parking to main entrance before 8:30?

    Hello, Laura!

    Welcome to planDisney, where we are dedicated to helping Guests like you navigate their Disney vacation plans. It sounds like you have an upcoming visit to Walt Disney World. How exciting! I am happy to help you make your way to Magic Kingdom Park from the Transportation and Tickets Center. 

    The parking lot to the Transportation and Ticket Center will open one hour before the earliest theme park entry time, so 30 minutes before park opening for Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels. If the park opens at 9 AM on the day you plan to visit, the parking lot for the Transportation and Tickets Center will open at 7:30 AM. The Ferryboat typically begins running when the TTC parking lot opens and the Express Monorail to Magic Kingdom around 8 AM. I recommend arriving a bit earlier to ensure you can park and get to the Magic Kingdom Ferryboat as quickly as possible. If you take the Ferryboat, you should be able to arrive at Magic Kingdom Park around 8 AM. 

    I hope this helps you make your way to a magical day at Magic Kingdom, Laura! If you have additional questions, please bring them here to planDisney. We are always happy to help our Pals with answers. 

    See Ya Real Soon!
