Choose Right Time for Visiting
It is better to visit park on weekdays than on weekend. Try to come earlier to get a good parking place and go to ride the most interesting attractions before the heat comes. If you like to sleep much and come to the park till noon, you have to stand for 40 minutes in the line before every new attraction you want to visit. What is more, it is very hot in Florida at noon. It is not very comfortable to walk around the park when the weather is hot. So, you have to visit different cafes to get cold. In the evening there is no heat in the city and there are no long lines.
