Mobile AK drop off point

Does AK park have a drop off point I could drive to, and how do I get there in a hire car to drop off my family and then exit myself.
This will be on an EMH day early in the morning if that makes a difference.

Yes they do. Drive in and right round the outside and it brings you to the drop off. It’s very easy and I did this a lot this year when our daughter was working at AK.

Drive up to the gate, tell them that you are dropping off and they will give you directions.

Just to add you just follow the blue line towards disabled parking after you explain at my the pay gate. You then usually need to speak to the person pointing traffic left so they will let you follow the blue line straight on.

Thanks all, I'm trying to figure out our first morning. I need to collect magic bands and check in to All Stars Music, then get to AK in good time for EMH.
Just working out if we can check in together at 7am then go to the park, or drop off and go on my own?

You will need to check in first at ASM, as your bands will possibly be your park tickets ( unless you have them booked elsewhere and not linked)

Anyway - you can check in at ASM, get magic bands and then head to AK - just tell the cast member at the ticket booth you are dropping off and they will tell you to follow the colour of line to follow.
Or if staying at ASM you could stay there whilst the rest of your family get the Disney Bus to AK.

We did this at AoA this year and found the front desk really appreciative of a 6.30 family who were in need on magic bands and full of a Disney buzz at that time of the morning!

We returned from the park to find out our allotted room and all the other stuff.

Yes Walt4it, I need our magic bands hence the check in, I don't need the room just the MBs. I like the idea of the family getting the bus and being in the queue, sounds a time saver, when are the first buses from ASM to AK?

Your comment about the front desk is where my thoughts are too, hopefully I'll be in the minority and they'll not be too peeved.
