Tips & Advice
- Arrive early to maximize your day, as the park offers a full range of attractions beyond the holiday festivities, and staying late is essential for the fireworks finale.
- Check the park's show schedule upon arrival or via their app to plan your viewing of the 'Winter Wonderland on Ice' show and the Sesame Street Christmas Parade, as times can vary.
- Consider booking a 'Dinner with Santa' or a 'FRONT OF THE SLEIGH' Santa Reservation Upgrade for a more personalized meet-and-greet experience, especially during peak times.
- Utilize the public transportation options, like the Lynx #50 bus, if you are traveling from nearby areas to avoid parking complexities.
- Dress in layers, as Florida weather can be unpredictable, and while many shows are indoors, you'll be spending time outdoors exploring the light displays and attractions.
