- Arrive early, at least one-half hour before opening. Some parks will
allow you to enter even earlier. You will not be able to get on the rides
early, but you might be first in line.
- Agree on a meeting place if you get separated
- Most parks use characters and/or colors to label their parking lot
sections. Remember where you park, even if you have to write your
section's name down.
- Develop a plan in order to see as much as possible. Use the park's
map and tip board to help you plan your day.
- Don't follow the crowd. Many people will go to the right and move
clockwise throughout the park. Check into going left and moving
counterclockwise.
- Check out the tip board for parade routes, character appearances,
time and other helpful information on rides such as wait times, hours
open, height, age and health restrictions
- **By picking a spot toward the beginning of the parade, you will get a
jump on everyone else. You will have finished watching the parade
and made it to the most popular rides while most of the crowd is still
watching the parade
- Drink lots of water
- When buying souvenirs, remember you might have to carry them
around all day. You might hold off your purchases until the end of the
day. Many parks will close their rides but still leave their shops open
for a while
- If you think you've had enough and it's time to leave, get your hand
stamped. After a little rest and a shower, you might feel like returning,
especially since it cools off a little after sunset and the crowds thin
out. Most of the parks have a grand finale show such as a big parade,
light show or fireworks
