THEME PARK TIPS
1. Use sunscreen even when it is cloudy - apply before you head out to the park and reapply throughout the day.
2. Pick your times to avoid the crowds - early week days and cloudy days are less crowded.
3. Take a water-tight “body-wear” container for essential valuables (money and credit cards) that you might want to keep with you at all times.
4. Keep a change of clothes dry in a water proof bag for the journey home.
