    Sooo, Hey Florida Region!

    I'm JoJo from Europe and i'm looking for all the Enthusiasts advice to tackle Florida.

    I got a trip booked with my best friend in September and we're both coaster enthusiasts so looking for all the tricks and tips y'all have... good Tickets Prices, Park Advice, how to navigate thru parks, what to do when its busy, how to handle the daily tropical storms, like anything to share please hmu folks!

    Also, I'm hoping to book my first ACE event, the Coasterpalooza at Cedar Point! How are the events? Any ideas or suggestions on things to prepare for? Etc

    Thanks all!

    I'm not from Florida but I go there regularly.

    1. If you want to do everything, stay for 2 weeks! If you have limited time, you need to decide what to skip.
    2. Plan for every 3rd day recovering.
    3. Spend one recovery day at Discovery Cove and get the upgrade package that includes parking and entry to Sea World and Busch Gardens.
    4. Get the express pass at Epic Universe.
    5. Don't bother with lightning lane at Epcot or Animal Kingdom as it's not beneficial.
    6. Use single rider lines wherever possible.
    7. Lower your expectations so ride closures wont ruin your trip.
    8. Stay in a rental house rather than a hotel room.
    9. Expect horrendous traffic. Get to parks over 1 hour before rope drop.
    10. Skip NASA.
    11. Carry disposable poncho at all times. Not umbrella (lightning hazard).
    12. Wear shoes you can get wet.
    13. Do not skip Spider Man at Islands of Adventure.
