Parking cost and lot opening time at MK

[homeschool mom]

We'll be driving in for a one day visit to MK while visiting family for the
Thanksgiving holiday. We have been to WDW on many occasions, but we always use WDW transportation. I would like to know what time they open the parking lot at MK, and how much it costs to park. We would like to be in MK by rope drop. Is that possible?

I'm actually not sure what time they open, the gates are open 24/7 for hotel guests so I would think you can arrive as early as you would like. As for the cost it's $20 (OUCH). Also just a note, we noticed almost every day of our trip last week the park opened approx. 15-20 mins prior to the posted opening time.

I want to say the MK lot opens at 6:00a.m.

Just a quick note, if you are staying at a WDW resort the parking at the parks is free.
