AT $4 for the day pass a family of 4 is spending $16 which is more than parking and the cost to drive the few miles. We need to adopt some of the same fare pricing for kids on weekends that cities like London have done. IE under 10 was free with paying adult on the tube and on weekends and off peak travel times which saved us a bundle during the week we were there. Every little bit helps and I think we'd get more families on public transit if the fares were more family friendly.

The wife and I always consider riding our beach cruisers from Old Towne Orange to Disney, but we keep forgetting to check if they have bike racks. Also, we often don't leave the park until night time, and riding that distance at night seems less than appealing. Nice!
