- Arrive about halfway through your time slot, since the top of the hour is the busiest arrival time and waits are usually shorter later.
- Pre-order hot chocolate and mini cinnamon donuts with your ticket or before you arrive so you don't miss out.
- Tune your radio to FM 95.7 as you pull in, so you hear the music the lights are coordinated to.
- Put a passenger in charge of photos, because no one may step out of the vehicle at any point along the route.
