Adult thrill-seekers and families alike should consider saving their theme park visits for the fall or winter when school is in session. Lines will be shorter, special activities like character dinners will have better availability and prices are almost always lower. Plus, many parks offer special events for Halloween or the winter holidays. Just be sure to check before you go to see whether rides are down for winter maintenance or hours are shortened due to weather.

Before your trip, look into front-of-the-line passes: For those who hate waiting, the thrill of skipping ahead will almost rival the rides themselves.

The other best way to avoid long waits is arrive opening and head straight to the furthest point from the front gates. As you work your way back to the front, you’ll be going against the crowds and should have shorter waits to start.
