Make the most of your visit to a theme park by planning ahead and using some common sense during the day. Talk with your family or group and make a list of all the things you want to do. Make an A list of the things you definitely want to do. Make a B list of the things you would like to do but can skip if necessary. Make a C list of the things you are not interested in.
Many parks vary their hours depending on the day of the week and time of year.
Also, get the times of any special events during the day, such as afternoon parades or evening fireworks shows. You can schedule your day around those events if they are on your A list. Get this information from the park s Internet site, a brochure or by calling the park just before leaving home. Many parks have a toll-free information line. Get a map of the park ahead of time.
