@@durtydeedsREI Thanks for the feedback! I’ve been trying to think of all the things that people may not always think about but that really matter when planning a park day. My goal is especially to help newer Disney guests who aren’t as familiar with the parks. Thanks so much for watching!
What is your estimated time for both Monorail and Ferry from where you park all the way to the gates? For example, if park entry is 9am...what time should I get to the parking lot to get in at start time or at least be in line for open?
@@durtydeedsREI Ok, there are several variables here . If you are staying at a Disney resort hotel, you can actually get into the park a half hour early. If you are not staying in a Disney hotel, you can still rope drop Adventureland or Frontierland, which doesn’t open early for resort guests. It opens at park open time. This also depends on if you want to enter super early before park open to rope drop a ride. They usually start scanning people in at least 30 minutes before the park actually opens. The individual lands won’t be open but Main Street will be. You can get photos, grab a coffee, or wait in line for one of the four different lands - fantasyland, tomorrowland, frontierland, and adventureland. If you are wanting to get in line for a particular area of the park to be the first to ride, I recommend getting to the parking lot at least an hour before park open if not and hour and a half. I love empty parks and low crowds, so I love getting there early. If you arrive early, you’ll park closer to the transportation and ticket center, but you still will need to go through security, wait in line for the monorail or the ferry, and wait to scan into the park. An hour before whatever time you are wanting to get in is usually sufficient. So for a 9am opening time, you should be good if you arrive in the parking lot at 8am. Hope that helps! (To clarify, it doesn’t take an hour to get from the parking lot to the gate of the park, but generally speaking I like to have cushion for the unexpected and just so I don’t feel rushed or stressed.😉)
I feel like you're the only one showing this perspective. Everyone else always starts in the parks so this was very unique and helpful.

I always tend to take the ferry, too, who knows why!
@@rachelm3420 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah I don’t know either! I just always drift that direction.
