How do some people cope in the parks?
We found that when we left Magic Kingdom after the fireworks it was quicker to walk back to our car than wait for the train. We were in our car a nd pulling out before the first train arrived - and we would have had to wait for at least the third one to arrive due to the queue when we got there.

Wow A whole TEN minutes of walking!

When in Orlando despite having a car, we prefer to walk to most places especially after a heavy meal. You feel so much more comfortable and adjust to the oppressive heat a lot quicker. One of our favourites is to park the car at the Boardwalk and do the walk through to the International Gateway to EPCOT.

Last year I went out running in Orlando a few times. The heat in the morning for running isn't too bad, but later on it get's unbearable. I did the Tower of Terror 13k (8.1 Miles) at 10PM. In the UK I can comfortably run about 14 miles without needing water. During the TOT 13k I stopped at every drinks station gasping for water!

ha ha doesn't surprise me!
We always walked from the car to the parks, rather than getting the tram, we had 2 buggies so it was just easier for us but we saw lots of parents struggling to put buggies on the trams, one couple even tried loading a double stroller complete with child and the CM had to shout over the tannoy three times to tell them that the couldn't take itlike that. I guess some people think that the walking is too much but it's sometimes nice to have a stroll isn't it?

I think if you pay for valet parking you can stay as long as you like so possibly they did that.

we have also done this, but instead of parking in the boardwalk carpark we were directed to park by cm's across the road at the free car park! even further to walk, but not a problem at all for us...
