- Visit on weekdays or non-busy days to enjoy all attractions. Reviewers noted that some slides like Key West are closed on slower days, but weekends and holidays have extremely long wait times for every ride.

- Budget for high parking fees ($30) and expensive food options. Consider the All-Day Dining package carefully as not all restaurants participate and quality can be inconsistent. Bring your own snacks if possible, though outside food is not permitted in the park.
