Where do I park my car for Magic Kingdom?

With the exception of the Magic Kingdom, all of the Walt Disney World parking is outside the main entrance to the theme park. At the Magic Kingdom, the lot is located at the Ticket and Transportation Center. Once you park here, you will need to take either the Monorail or the Ferry to the Magic Kingdom.
