I have been worrying about his and trying to find information on how far the actual spots are from the gates. We are traveling with a child in a handicap stroller for a Wish trip in February. He has limited endurance and we need to figure out his day.
Does anyone have this information for the Disney Parks, Universal and Sea World?
Not sure if you have a placard or not, but the time to walk is as mentioned in the above posts.
We've already had to park out by the Petty Race Track at the TTC because the parking lot was filled. It's a good 10 minute walk from there if you're walking at a good clip. We have a convaid cruiser so ds doesn't have to walk from where ever we end up in the parking lot, but we do. IMHO, it's too bulky to fold up get on the tram, especially with the doors on the tram now. It's too heavy for me to lift over the doors. And there is only enough room for it if we're in a first row section of the trams. So we hike it from where we park.
Universal has a parking garage. I'm not sure if they allow parking in disabled without a placard. And I never heard of a medical parking lot otherwise. But even from disabled parking it's pretty far to the gates of the parks. There are conveyor belt walkways, but strollers, wheelchairs and
ECVs are not permitted on them. You have to walk through City Walk with no conveyor belts to even get to either Universal or IOA. My FIL had a very difficult time walking, using the conveyor belts from the parking lot to Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. the first restaurant in City Walk. We were even parked right by an elevator. There is no tram service from parking to the parks.
Sea World's parking lot is not as large as all the other park's, unless you end up in their overflow lot across the street. They also have tram service, but our Cruiser doesn't really fit. So again we walk.
My son would not be able to walk from any of these parking lots by himself to the front entrance, especially on a hot day. On a cool day, he'd get much further though.
