Touring Tips

Hosts. Just about any employee is a host, whether they're at a kiosk or attraction or turnstile. Ask them about their favorite experiences—and for suggestions for saving time.

Photo Ops. IOA posts signs that indicate picture spots and show how best to frame your shot.

Retreat. Explore little-used sidewalks and quiet alcoves, and you'll find sanctuaries to counter IOA's manic energy.

Split the difference. If the park's open late, consider splitting the day in half. See part of it in the morning, head off-site to a restaurant for lunch (your parking ticket is good all day), and then head to your hotel for a swim or a nap (or both). Return in the cooler, less crowded evening.
