Summary:
I’m not a fan of carnival rides but this was a whole new experience for me! It was so safe and clean and fun! Lines were definitely long and hot but water/vending machines provided along the way. Next time I’ll definitely splurge on the 1.5 day and Express Pass! Works out to $50/ride but worth it I think. There was so much to see! Still regretting I didn’t try the velociraptor roller coaster when I had the chance… Donkey Kong ride was SO much fun (our fave?) but that line was lonnnng. Would have skipped Mario Cart. Hollywood rollercoaster also fantastic!
