Tips & Advice
- Add the enchanted 3D elf glasses when you buy your ticket online or at the gate, then pick them up at the gate when you arrive.
- Bring a Veteran ID or active Military ID to get the military discount on a passenger car, which is only offered at the gate.
- Drive at the recommended 2 to 3 mph and don't tailgate, because cars ahead may stop suddenly while people look at the displays.
- Stay in your vehicle the whole time and take photos through the windows, then tag them #TWOL when you share them.
- If your plans change, email your ticket to a friend or family member, because there are no refunds online or at the gate.
