In short, it’s full of sights, sounds, and activities you won’t want to miss. So you’ll have to plan accordingly to squeeze everything into just one night. The first step in ensuring your successful holiday trip is to plan ahead.

Gather the whole family and find out what everyone has on their ‘must-see’ list for the trip. Once you know what everyone has to see and do, you can fill in the gaps once you’ve arrived at the Park. It’s important to note that this celebration is brimming with activities, and it’s nearly impossible to get to all of them. That’s why it’s so critical to plan ahead.

Another aspect of planning is deciding what to bring and packing ahead. You won’t want to waste time waiting in long lines to buy something as basic as hand sanitizer, a poncho, or a water bottle when you can quickly bring one.
