Can you park at a resort for a dining reservation.....then..

[sandheichert]

either take a boat , from wilderness lodge, or the monorail from Contemp. or Poly. to the Magic Kingdom for a few hours?

 

[RandomPrincess]

Last time someone posted a question about this there was a debate on whether you could or not. Seems to be a grey area.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

(opening can of worms)

 

[unkadug]

Yes... you can.

You MIGHT get away with it....you MIGHT get towed.


Do you feel lucky?

Edited to add....I'm NOT calling the OP a "punk"

 

[sandheichert]

I figured as much. What is the time limit they usually give you for a dining reservation?

 

[ShookieJones]

You hear that sound? It's the sound of people lighting their flame throwers.

This is one of those subjects that starts a major debate. Ehh..what the heck I'll join in.
Too me if you've done the dining reservation, and you're going to hope over and check the MK out for a bit, I don't have a major problem with it.

I get why it starts a debate but honestly if you're there for example if you're at the POLY for dinner at Ohana, there is no difference between hanging around to watch Wishes on the beach or popping over to the MK to watch wishes from BTMR.

Could you? Probably. Sometimes, especially at the Contemporary, you can't. But you can get away with it sometimes.

Should you? Up for debate. And if you think I'm picking a side on that, you're nuts!

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

You might be able to get away with it, but personally I don't think it would be a magical end to the night to come back and find my car towed or ticketed.

 

[Master Yoda]

If you valet, yes.

 

[JTT]

Yes, we did it at the Polynesian.

We were staying at the POFQ, ate dinner at Ohana then took the monrail back and forth to Magic Kingdom after dinner.

 

[olinecoach61]

Yes you can. I don't know that Disney advertises it as a perk, but how would a parking attendant know where you were?

 

[sandheichert]

Yes, we did it at the Polynesian.

Thank you,

We have a reservation at Kona Grill for dinner and just wanted to go to MK for an hour or so after.

I posed a question regarding breakfast at Kona Cafe. Then my thread was locked. Oops. But then again my question was based on spending the whole day at MK. The proper answer is that you can park for three hours. I guess what you do during that three hours is your business. Otherwise, my advice is park only long enough to eat.

 

[SMS55]

I've always parked at Contemporary for Chef Mickey's and while there walked over to MK to get my tickets. Sometimes after dinner we've taken a ride on the monorail just for giggles and never had a issue.

It really comes down to crowds and when you are there. If its a busy week like spring break or 4th of July toy can forget it. You will get a 3 hour pass.

However, if u r there during a slow time, it is allowed. All you have to so is ask. We did this the last 2 years on our trip because we go during the "slow times". Just ask the front desk.

Edit: this was at Poly the last 2 times we did this.

Thanks...it will be the first week of December, historically a slow period. We did it 5 years ago for one night after parking at the Wilderness Lodge with no problems but just trying to be sure.
