When you’re on vacation, you’re probably not going to want to get up super early…unless, of course, you’re in Disney World.
Ticket and Transportation Center
We all know that regular rules don’t apply in Disney World, and getting up early is PART of the experience. That’s because we’re all about that rope drop, but if you’re driving to the parks or taking the Monorail for any reason, you’ll want to be even earlier. We’ve learned that 7:30 AM is the PERFECT time to arrive at the Transportation and Ticket Center in Disney World.
Here’s why you want to be at the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) so early, although the parks don’t open until later. If you arrive at the TTC more than 30 minutes before park opening, you’re going to find that the adage “the early bird gets the worm” is true. Why? Because one, you’re going to find a MUCH better parking spot that’s closer to transportation. That’s because you’re getting there before everyone else.
Parking at the TTC
If you are arriving at the TTC, you’ll go through security there, rather than at the parks. You’ll find the experience is MUCH improved if you arrive on or before 7:30 AM. The lines are shorter and you’ll get through security a lot faster. That means you’re headed to the parks faster, too, ahead of rope drop.
Avoid the long lines at security
When it’s time to catch that Monorail or Ferry, you’ll also find shorter lines for transportation. Again, this is going to speed up the process of you getting to the park quickly, putting you closer to the front of the line for rope drop. It’s a win-win-win!
This line is shorter the earlier you get here
Just a note, too. When we talk about park opening, we’re not referring to early entry, although if you arrive at the TTC before early entry, you’ll be in that sweet spot where everything moves quickly, too. So you’ll want to set that alarm and get up and get going to beat the crowds. Trust us…it’s totally worth it.
