chef mickeys

So we are off on our holibobs next month. Its been 10 years since I last went and so much has changed.
Question is, we have a breakfast booking at Chef Mickeys at 7:10! We are staying offsite at a villa in Kissimmee. Not sure of exact address yet but know its in the Kissimmee area. What time roughly would we need to leave to be able to make it to our booking?
We have car hire so would be driving. Do we park at ticket and transportation and go from there? Im not sure the resorts monorail runs that early or do we just park at Contemporary?
Any advice would be great so we could plan our day. It will be our day 3 of holiday including tavel day so hoping we will all still be waking early x

Well according to google it is a 30 minute drive, so factor that in. I would park at the hotel not the TTC.

Without a more precise location, giving an ETA is risky.

it will take 15 minutes from the entrance to the disney property to the parking lot at CR, tnen another 15 minutes to park up, walk and get up to chef mickey's at CR (4th floor)
that's if you park at CR

and then you have to factor in the time between your villa and the entrance to wdw. That's another 15 to 20 minutes

so, don't leave your villa less than 45 minutes prior to ADR if you choose to park at the hotel


parking will mailny depend on your plans for the day

you can only remain parked at a hotel for up to 3 hours

so if your plans are to get breakfast at CR then go to MK, you can either :
- park at CR and after the meal, drive to TTC and park there for the day
- park directly at TTC
- use and pay for valet parking at CR (this allows you to stay at CR for the day)

if you need to park up at TTC, note that the monorail will take up to 20 minutes to go from TTC to CR (CR is the last stop before the monorail returns to TTC) or you'll need to take the express monorail to MK then walk back to CR
if you park up at TTC, you will need to drive off from the villa around 6am/6:10am for a 7:10am ADR
add a few minutes if you stay at a remote part of kissimmee, or if you have a long stretch of 192 to drive on

Thanks for the replies. Will definitely consider the valet parking at contemporary. From what I can see its $33. Normal parking at TTC is $25 so think the extra 8 is worth it for the convenience just for one day x

Don't stress about being late for your ADR.

We're often late and we've never been refused a table, nor lost our $10s.

We used to do this and did the valet parking. We’d then walk along to magic kingdom after breakfast
