Good planing and remaining flexible will get you through many situations in life. Armen, You are correct, many of these tips can be used in everyday life as well.

Although my thoughts here are for non-vacations as well, that point about being flexible is one I can attest to. Everything takes longer than you expect, and I would agree that that is the case in a theme park as well. Our mind might assume that a ride would take 10 minutes to do, but that leaves out time getting to it, time in a line, time eating before it, time for someone to use the restroom, etc. Building in that flexibility by planning beforehand changes the whole experience. You get to plan a certain number of solid things to do, and then aren't worried about missing any of them, because you allowed plenty of time around each for things that show up, and something always does show up. On a side note, I'm often late to things because I don't plan for the time of those extra items that add to the main portion of an occurrence. You've got all the bases covered here for those going to a theme park. .-= Armen Shirvanian´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TimelessInformation/~3/NLPaiOED2Os/" rel="nofollow">Patience And Hunger</a> =-.
