getting to the magic kingdom early

one thing i love to do when visiting wdw is to wander the resorts on the magic kingdom resort loop prior to opening of the park.  this is a time when having a car with you at wdw comes in handy. i am usually one of the first cars in the parking lot on that day and get to park like i'm a vip.

so what i do is park at the ticket and transportation center, the ttc as it is often called, and then head left to the Polynesian resort.  early morning right after sunrise is a  great time to snap pictures.

you can wander through the Polynesian and then follow the trail on the far side which leads to the wedding pavilion and then onto the grand Floridian resort.

once you've wandered around the grounds here you can go upstairs in the lobby and catch the monorail over to the contemporary resort.
during recent renovations they added a great little place to grab a quick pick-up bite to eat next to chef mickeys. now as time grows near to park opening and you've snapped your shot of the five legged goat you can take the short walk over to the magic kingdom.  now you could get back on the monorail to get to the park but usually by this time families have gotten ready and are also headed that way, so i like my quiet time in the morning and try to avoid the crowds for as long as possible and its not a very long walk at all.
