    Hi

    Well I never thought of leaving the kids in the car, but actually that's a good tip!

    I was thinking change of clothes for the kids, food etc, however I have decided to take the things in with us, most UK theme parks it takes about 5 minutes to get to the car so was not expecting 50 mins!

    regards
    Nadim

    If your leaving food in the car you will need an icebox, the cars temp will be boiling sat in the sun.

    The only thing to add to Snapper's more detailed response is that it may be a heck of a lot more than a couple of minutes from Tram to car if you are unfortunate and get parked right at the far end of the row of cars, and you have no say in this, those rows can be quite, quite long (or maybe I just saunter slowly!!).

    The lockers come in different sizes, we usually just get the smaller one and it is fine for the cool bag, sun lotions etc. Never have a problem getting one either although sometimes there is a bit of a Q.

    Take a small stroller with you ($10 - $15 from walmart) with you to the parks just to carry your food and bags...and of course rain covers. That way you won't need to carry them all the time.

    Like Martin says you would need an ice box if you plan on leaving food in the car! It gets very very hot so wouldn't recommend leaving food in it.

    I was under the impression that you cannot take your own food into the Parks. Have the rules changed?

    Hi SDJ

    I think, there's food and then, there's "FOOD"[msnwink]. Some snacks maybe a sandwich, juices, water etc. Not a full 3 course picnic!!!!!!!!!

    Ive seen lots of people with their own sandwiches & drinks camped out watching the world go by. Never understood it myself, why they would want to bother. Ive usually got enough to carry without bothering with food & drink.[msneek][msneek]

    It was so hot I didn't even want to carry water. we took it though but it was soon gone. Was very disappointed that Disney no longer do the refill drinks

    We asked at one of the Disney parks (but I can't remember which one) and was told they don't do them anymore. They still had them at Seaworld
