Creator's Key Takeaways

I will say we did get here about 9:20 and it's not a good sign that you can see people heading this way cuz that means that we're going to go in and head that way and then come back down that other walkway to get through security

this was a fantastic tribute store

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Visit the Tribute Store early to avoid crowds
βœ“Try the cookie dough balls and the mini cake, but skip the chocolate whoopy pie
βœ“Arrive early for concerts to get a good seat, as you may have to miss the parade

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Crowds β€” Arrive early, as lines form quickly for parking and security even right after opening
Face masks β€” You cannot wear full-face masks in the park, so don't buy them expecting to wear them
