Parking & Arrival

Weigh general vs preferred locations against your walking tolerance and schedule.

Add-Ons

Photo packages and skip-the-line products can be great on busy days—verify inclusions and date rules.

Souvenirs

Set a per-person cap and shop late in the day to avoid carrying.

Third-Party Bundles

Read fine print: blackout dates, reservation requirements, and refund rules. Compare to official pricing on your exact date.

Bottom Line

Decide your comfort vs cost trade-offs before arrival; the day feels calmer when money choices are pre-made.
