So I bought our ticket online and in advance so we could get a discounted ticket and I guess our car would go in before the people who just drive up. We still had to wait in a 30 minute line before we actually got in. So even with planning ahead it's a lot of sitting and waiting which is really tough with a car full of kids. I suggest you bring lots of snacks to entertain your kiddos in the car. The light show was pretty awesome, the music was actually really good. I suggest hand out hot chocolate and somehow make a better line system so there is less traffic.
