Planning tips

  • Weeknights beat Saturday photo lines.
  • Battery packs for phones—cold drains power faster.
  • Bring gloves and a wind layer even if the inland forecast looks mild.
  • Arrive near 5:30 PM on busy nights for easier parking and warmer kids.
  • Screenshot tickets/QR before you leave the hotel Wi-Fi.
