My daughter and friend will be in Orlando next week and are going to MK Jan 7- they have a park reservation and dining at Crystal Palace.
We have been to Disney many times, but have never stayed off site and have not been since the pandemic began.
The park hours are 8am-8pm. Please help me help them plan out getting to the park- they are staying at a Marriot nearby bc the friend has Marriot points- so that was a no brainer- the park opens at 8am- they have decided to Uber to the park - it seems to be the easiest/less hassle and possibly quickest way.
How early do they let non resort guests inside the MK? Isn't the hour before the park opens for resort guests only? Do non resort guests get in like 15 min early maybe? Again- we've only stayed inside the park and this is completely new to us.
Also- any other tips during the pandemic? They are pretty well trained on the rides to ride first in normal circumstances- DD is a disney expert- but not sure of any changes that might affect wait times.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
