Kelsey's Top Tips
A few things to make your week run beautifully.
Lightning Lanes are the key thing to plan. Booking opens ~7 days out — let's go over your strategy on our call so you're ready the moment it opens.
Rope drop, then rest. Use the Early Entry each park morning, ride hard in the cool morning, then head back for a midday nap/pool break with Augus.
Your dining does the heavy lifting. Three character/themed meals are booked — that's a lot of magic already locked in, with a 4th park day still open to play with.
Free ice water everywhere. Any quick-service counter gives free cups of ice water — a money-and-comfort saver in the September heat.
