As the saying goes “time is money” so doing some planning in advance can go a long way towards making the most of your time when you get to the parks.

Which means you want to make some sort of itinerary….what you plan to do each day. With a good itinerary, you can do a lot in one day of touring, but at the same time, you want to beware of filling your plans to the brim.
