Tips & Advice
- Buy your ticket online and pick a half-hour time slot ahead of time, because paying at the gate costs extra and the gate doesn’t take cash.
- Arrive any time during your reserved half hour, and don’t run late on the last slot of the night, because the elves won’t hold the door.
- If you have very young kids or anyone who can’t sit long, skip Black Friday and the weekends after it, since those nights bring waits.
- Plan restroom stops and snacks before you arrive, because there’s only one portable restroom onsite and everyone has to stay in the car.
- Come in your pajamas and bring hot chocolate, then make sure your FM radio works so you can hear the music the lights move to.
