Dolphin to MK - Bus or Drive?We

[disneyduggan]

We will be trying to get our early and head to Crystal Palace for early AM reservation. We are staying at the Dolphin and will have a car.

Should we drive or take a bus to MK?

If we drive, will we need to pay a parking fee?

Thanks for suggestions!

I believe the transportation is the same as for all the Disney resorts so you should be able to get an early bus to get to the park in time for your breakfast reservation.

If you drive, I understand you do need to pay for Disney parking unless you are in another category of free parking such as annual passholder.

OK, so resort guests pay for parking. I wasn't sure and wasn't sure if Dolphin would be included in any parking perk even if one were available.

As I understand it, Disney World resort guests do not pay for parking but those staying at the Dolphin, which is not a Disney resort, do pay for parking.

Correction - while you don't recieve a parking pass - showing a Swan/Dolphin room key to the Cast Member at the parking toll booth at the entrance to the lots will allow free parking. Just as you get the EMH benefits, you get the parking as well

You get free parking at the parks but the Dolphin does have a parking fee per day for guests staying at the resort.

When we are at WDW onsite (including S&D) depending on our mood will drive to the parks. Except MK, just to avoid TTC.

I love to drive at Disney, but to MK it really is easier to take the bus, since you get dropped off at the park entrance instead of the TTC.

Even for an early-morning breakfast, it is easier to bus it, than to drive, park and then have to take the monorail to MK.
