Ready to visit? Here are a few tips to help you plan! 

Christmas at the Princess is less busy earlier in the season and on weekends. Visiting at these times will make it easier to get reservations and will reduce your wait times. On peak nights, travel time alone can increase by 20-30 minutes! Speaking of reservations- advanced planning is key! Book activities in advance and, if you're looking to dine, make reservations beforehand. More tips are available online
