Hi,
I’ve seen so many different opinions online on this question - where do you prefer to park for rope drop to close at DLR? Thanks in advance!
I would recommend the Toy Story Lot. It’s less crowded and much easier to get into in the morning than Mickey & Friends. The buses run frequently so you shouldn’t have to wait long to get to and from the lot.
That said, Mickey / Pixar lot is fun and I enjoy taking the tram from time to time as part of the experience.
Part of it depends on from where you are coming. I come from the south, so I usually park at Toy Story, but M&F/Pixar is more convenient if coming from the north. Overall, TS is easier to get through to the park, but in the evening it takes longer to get back to the lot (buses can’t accommodate as many as trams so takes longer). However, you always have the option to walk back to the structures. That’s not as good an option for TS.
Update here: we parked at Toy Story and it was 10/10. Literally no wait for security or buses, and we beat all the traffic at park close both nights and had to walk less on our tired feet. Would highly recommend it!
