Tips & Advice
- Buy Holiday Village tickets at the Gingerbread Ticket House early in the night, because sales end shortly before closing and may stop sooner when crowds are heavy.
- Think about getting the Ride All Day Wristband if you plan on several rides, since single tickets are sold per ride and there are no refunds.
- Start with dinner from the food trucks on Swinton Ave., then shop the 60-plus vendors along Atlantic Ave., Old School Square and Pineapple Grove.
- Walk inside the tree to see the decorated houses and the crèche, which costs nothing and is easy to fit in between other activities.
- Come back on December 24 or 25 for free carousel rides, but skip those days if you want ice skating or mini golf, because both are closed.
