    Toy Story is the superior place to park in my opinion.

    You park closer to the busses. The lines, if any, move much faster. The busses are air conditioned/heated and dry. You are let off closer to the gates.

    People with large strollers struggle a lot and I haven't ridden with anyone in a wheelchair. Wheelchairs must be secured as on any bus.

    The busses also "kneel". That is, they lower so it is very easy to get up the short step.

The day before it was open and the next day it was open, so not sure why it was still closed.

    We then went to Mickey & Friends and had to park on the roof, so that lot was almost full.

    My advice would be to try the Toy Story lot first, and if it's not open, head over to Mickey & Friends.

    It is sooooo much easier and so much more organized to get a ride back to your car. There are always ample busses and you don't have to fight for a tram and open those stupid tram doors.

    Also, the bus drivers for the TS lot are usually pretty friendly. Some even do impressions. Not good ones, but atleast they try LOL

    But 999 would know more about that.

I am guessing it depends on predicted attendance for the day.
