Parking lot tips?

[mhbuxfan]

We will be staying at CBR but would like to drive our car to each park. Any tips for the lots at MK,AK,DHS, and EPCOT. Are you directed to a specific spot in each lot, or can you seek out your own spot? Any areas better to park in for quicker egress? Thanks for the tips in advance!! Also, for MK, do you take a tram to front gate, or is there more transportation involved? We will already have tickets.

For MK I'd take the bus - it gets you much closer to the entrance - if you drive, you start at the TTC and need to take either the ferry or the monorail to get to the entrance.

You'll almost always be directed to a specific parking spot by an attendant. This isn't always the case in the afternoons, though.

When you arrive at the parking lots in the morning you only have one choice - Disney's !!!! The staff will show you exactly where to park and no arguing !!!
As has been said, if you arrive late on and spaces become available during the day, you can park wherevers free

if they are sending two lanes of traffic into the parking lot stay in the lane nearest the tram lane, 90% of the time you will be nearer the trams. You do have to park where disney tells you, and this is for two reasons, to prevent accidents and to help with tram pick up.

Also if you are bringing a stroller just buy a cheap umbrella stroller with you, they are a lot less hassle to get on the trams and other guest don't get annoyed with you hogging seat space with a massive stroller.

We have drove to the parks and taken the buses. I would prefer the bus system over driving evey time. When you drive you have to park in the spot they assisgn to you. Which can be next to the tram or at the end of the row. Then you have pile on on the tram, fold up strollers, but backpacks on your lap, keep small children in the center. They take you for a short ride and usually drop you off farther then the buses will have. This is especially true for MK. You will then again fight the masses to load on the monorail or ferry to get to MK. When leaving reverse the process but they stop every 100 yards for people to get off at their lot. One time we had to wait for the 3rd tram to get to our car because we left at closing.

I know there is a wait for the bus, but I would prefer one wait, then the bus take me "home." If you have handicap tags for your car, you can park were you can walk to the tram let off (expect for MK).

That's just my thoughts.
