Time limits
Watching the clock is the key to theme park fun. Be mindful of deadlines for meals, snacks and rest times. Growling stomachs and overtired kids (of all ages) can sabotage theme park fun. Most parks have quiet spots designed for relaxation, including gardens, old school playgrounds and picnic tables. A measured pace with strategic breaks can help you outlast long lines, overstimulation and theme park crowds.
