How do I drive to the Magic Kingdom Ticket and Transportation Center parking lot from the Villas?
While there usually isn’t a need to drive from the Villas to the MK parking lot, sometimes you may need to do this, and it isn’t obvious where to go. Head out of the Lodge on Timberline Drive, and keep going straight, now on Seven Seas Drive. You’ll go past the Polynesian, and then come to Floridian Way, where a right turn would take you to the Grand Floridian. Turn *left* here, even though it looks like you’re exiting the area. Stay in the left lane. Just past the Exxon station, and just before you pass the toll plaza, you’ll see a small but clearly-marked sign which says “Magic Kingdom parking”. Go left here and make a U-turn, which will take you back into the parking area. This can be a bit confusing if you’re not ready for it, as it looks like you’re on the way out of the lot instead of into it, but it seems to be the quickest (legal) way to make this drive.
