If you can get in the ramp and are hardy, you can just run from your car to a mall entrance on all but the coldest days. I didn't know about the lockers, though, so that's a good backup plan! We also like the option of getting out of the park to eat something other than park food. Whether the food court or a sit-down restaurant (Famous Dave's is our favorite) it's a nice change of pace. I was there once, mid-week so it was quiet, with three little kids. One was old enough to go on a ride the others were too young for, but he needed an adult to go with him. The ride operator called over another employee to ride with him so I could stay with the other kids. I don't know if that's an official policy, but it was a very nice perk on the day we were there. We got wristbands for Christmas and can't wait to go back! We always try our hardest to park in the east or west ramps and then leave all our gear in the car.
