Parking for Chef Mickeys

[Birtie]

We are staying at CBR and have an ADR for Chef Mickey's for breakfast at
8am, so the question is how to get there.

1. Park at TTC and catch the monorail, but what time does car park open & monorail start running?

2. Bus from CBR to MK & then monorail, but are busses running early enough?

3. Drive to CR & park there.

It just wouldn't be the same going to Chef Mickeys and not arrive by monorail so I'd really like to do either option 1 or 2. If it's too early though then I'll just have to go for option 3

the mono rail is working by that time for breakfast bookings. we had a booking at CP that aug for 08:10 and we arrived at the TTC for 07:45 and it was working then you get to park real close to the TTC so there is no requirement to catch the tram

(1):
The Monorail runs in a repeated loop on each of the following routes:
a) Epcot Monorail: TTC > Epcot > TTC
b) MK Express Monorail: TTC > MK > TTC
c) Resort Monorail: TTC > Poly > Grand Floridian > MK > Contemp > TTC

If you park at the TTC you would have to use route "c" unless you used route "b" then changed at MK but that would be a hassle.
- the Monorail starts at 0700hrs (I think).


(2):
If you got a bus to MK it would just be one stop by monorail to the Contemp but I don't think the buses start running until 0800hrs.


(3):
If you have an ADR you get up to 3 hrs (I think) parking at the Contemp but you would probably end up parking a distance from the front of the hotel.
If you decide to valet park you just pull up outside the front of the hotel and Bob's your mother's brother! It'll cost you $10 plus tip - but the best thing is that you can leave your car there go to a park and return to pick it up later in the day. If you keep your valet parking receipt you can use valet parking at another resort the same day for free (but it would cost you another tip!)
...oh, and if you have DDE then valet parking is free (just the tips to shell out!);)

We are staying at CBR as well. When I made an ADR for 7-30am at Cape May the CM told me the buses wouldn't start running early enough to get us there in time, good job we'll have a car. When we eat at Chef Mickey's we'll valet park at the Contemporary and then walk to Magic Kingdom for a few hours.
