Sometimes, on-site hotels may offer a shuttle service or other park benefits that are meant for hotel guests. If you’re planning to stay on-site, research ahead of time to see if your hotel offers something like this.

It’s a good idea to consider bringing a sweatshirt with you regardless of the forecasted weather, especially if you’ll be at the amusement park later in the day, in case it gets colder.

Check the rules and regulations ahead of time, since many amusement parks have rules regarding bringing outside food and beverages into the park. If outside food and beverages are not allowed inside the park, see if you are allowed to keep these in your vehicle, so you can exit the park and then re-enter once you’re finished with your snacks and water.
