When I was in grad school, I hated having to stick the parking lot sticker on my bumper, so I stuck it on a magnet and stuck the magnet to the bumper. Naturally, the magnet was stolen (along with the sticker).

Just something to keep in mind when thinking about affixing the sticker that goes with this pass.

If you put it inside, then the only way to get to it is to break in.

has anyone that has gone this year buy a parking pass.

No. I have no intention of ever buying a pass to park on the lots at the park. Free parking and a tram ride or walk is fine.

While boarding the tram with the toddler, 2 bags, and a stroller, I wish we had parked in preferred. But we made it. If I hadn't had my older DD or DH with me, I would've parked in preferred since they were parking down in the valley at Stop 3. It is hard to juggle the stroller on those metal seats of the tram. The white seats are a little easier. The bus is not easy either. I try not to hit everyone in the head with my child when I get on a bus.

It would make sense that a family with little ones, and all of their accessories could benefit from preferred parking. Those trams, and especially the buses have just enough room on them for each person. Once you add in all of the extras that come with little ones, it does seem to be an extra inconvenience. However, it is an inconvenience that is free. Tough decision!

That was my main reason , with using a double stroller it is a lot easier to walk then try to fold it up and put it on a tram. Also somedays when you leave the park the line for the trams is very long. Also when you have two tired kids the 100 yards or so make a big difference when walking. So for $18.00 and we are usaully at SDC at least a 6 times a years the cost is not that big of a deal.

My mom called for the passes a few days ago and they are all sold out.

Tiffany's post was from November. Are the $18 passes really sold out?

jmc75 · March 25, 2012, 06:02:54 PM

yes they actually sold out very quickly I would say within a day or two of when you could get your season pass.
I was just curious if any of the people on here did get one if they had been to the park yet. I bought one and will be there next Friday and i believe you actually pickup the sticker then.

I think riding the tram into the city is park of the charm of the city itself, so I don't think I'll ever buy a parking pass. I tried the $6 paid parking but I just didn't like it as well

After throwing my back out exiting the tram...I am thinking the $$ would have been well worth it!
