Tips for Visiting

  • Plan your visit during off-peak hours or weekdays for a potentially shorter drive-thru time, as the route can take up to 30 minutes or longer during busy periods.
  • Ensure your vehicle's gas tank is full before entering the drive-thru, as there are no opportunities to exit the route for services.
  • Bring your own snacks and non-alcoholic drinks to enjoy during the drive, as no food or beverages are sold along the route.
  • Tune your car radio to the specified FM station upon entering to fully immerse yourself in the synchronized holiday music experience.
  • Check the specific ticket prices for different dates, as opening weekend, holidays like Christmas Eve/Day, and Black Friday weekend are priced higher than regular weekday or weekend dates.
