Parks to parking lots

[la79al]

Not sure if this belongs here, feel free to move. My question is, which parks can I walk out the gate and walk straight to my car? My new nightmare scenerio is me, by myself with a sleeping 30 pound 2 year old, a half asleep 4 year old, at least a backpack, trying to fold a double stroller to get on a tram, boat, bus, etc.

Only MK has the whole TTC scenario where you have to take a monorail or ferry from MK to TTC. All other parks have the parking lots right in front of the park gates.

However, all parks also have the trams running in the parking lots. You don't have to ride the tram if you don't want, but I'd still recommend it if you're near the back of the lot. But if you're near the front, you might not even want the tram. Sometimes it might be better to just leave the kids in the stroller and walk all the way to your car; other times it's better to fold up the stroller and ride the tram. It all depends on how close you get to the gate when you park.

Editing to add: on the monorail from MK to the TTC, if you can get on when it's not too crowded, you can leave kids asleep in their stroller and roll right on, not needing to fold the stroller until you get on a tram (if you need the tram). We used to do this all the time, though sometimes it meant waiting for the next monorail to allow crowds to dissipate a little.

You can also roll a stroller onto the ferryboat at MK.
