Breckenridge Ski Resort

I recommend hitting the slopes early, like around 8 AM. The lines are way shorter, and you can enjoy fresh powder before it gets tracked out. Trust me, it's totally worth it!

If you're planning to ski the terrain park, take it slow the first day. I tried going in too fast and ended up with a rough fall. It's a blasts, but just warm up on easier runs first!

I think you should take advantage of the free shuttle service around town. It makes getting to different slopes so much easier, and I didn't realize it was available until halfway through my trip. Don't miss it!
Magic Kingdom Park

My advice is to prioritize the rides but also schedule in some downtime. We were exhausted from rushing around, so don’t forget to enjoy parades and shows too!

Plan your dining reservations in advance. Some of the more popular table-service restaurants book up fast, and I regretted not planning ahead and missing out on a few spots!

Consider packing your own snacks. I saved a bunch by bringing snacks from home instead of buying food in the park, which can get pricey really fast!
Empire State Building

I think it’s worth it to splurge on the express pass if you can; it's a time-saver. I saved nearly an hour, which I used for exploring the area.
Don’t forget to check out the exhibits on the 2nd floor while you wait for the elevator. They give you some cool insights into the building's history.

My advice is to visit around sunset. The views are absolutely magical and you'll get both day and nighttime city vibes in one go.

If you go on a weekday instead of the weekend, it’ll likely be less crowded. I went on a Tuesday and it was a totally different experience compared to the weekend.
Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf
Dodger Stadium

I suggest arriving at least an hour before the game to soak in the atmosphere and avoid the crowds. This way you can grab some snacks and take some cool photos with the stadium in the background.

I recommend using public transport if you can. Parking was a nightmare and super overpriced—took way longer than expected to get out after the game!
Definitely explore the different food options. I found some hidden gems like the taquitos at one of the stands. Don't just stick to the typical hot dogs!
Pebble Beach Golf Links

If you're looking to save some cash, consider grabbing a bite at the Pebble Beach Market instead of the fancy restaurants on site. Trust me, the sandwiches are delicious and you’ll get to enjoy the views too!
I suggest checking out the 17-Mile Drive, it's stunning and free. I spent a hour driving around and the views were incredible, way better than sitting in traffic trying to get to it later!

My advice is to bring layers. The weather can be really unpredictable, and I found myself wishing I had a jacket on the chilly windy spots. You never know when you’ll need it!

I highly recommend booking your tee time well in advance, especially during peak season. I tried to walk in, and it didn’t work out too well for me!
Disneyland Park

Pro-tip: Look for character meet and greets at less busy times, like during parades. We got awesome photos without the huge crowds obstructing everything!

I suggest using the Disneyland app to check wait times in real-time. I found it super helpful for dodging long lines and planning our next moves on the fly!

I recommend hitting the less popular rides first thing, like the Matterhorn or the Alice in Wonderland ride. The lines build up quickly, but they’re way worth it.

Don't miss the nighttime shows! Find a good spot an hour before. We learned the hard way after getting stuck way at the back. Better to be early and up close!
Disney California Adventure Park

Download the Disney app before you go. It lets you check wait times, book Genie+ for skip-the-line access, and even order food ahead, saving you a ton of time.

Don’t forget to explore the little details in the park! There are great photo ops and hidden gems everywhere, like amazing street performances and themed shops that often get overlooked
Consider bringing your own snacks and a refillable water bottle. Food prices can get pretty high, and staying hydrated is key for a long day of fun!

I suggest taking a break around lunchtime. Many people eat at noon, which means rides will be much shorter when you go in after 1 PM.
Manhattan Sky Tour

If you're nervous about the helicopter ride, I recommend sitting in the front seat next to the pilot. It's less bumpy and you'll get the best view of everything! I really enjoyed my time up there.

My advice is to check for discount codes online before you go. I saved some bucks doing this and it made the experience even sweeter!

I suggest booking your flight in the late afternoon around 5 PM to catch the sunset. It's such a breathtaking view and you'll get the city lights twinkling as you land. Definitely a highlight for me!

Don’t forget your camera, but make sure to double-check their rules on photography. I missed some great shots because I was worried about guidelines
Sky Combat Ace

If you're thinking of filming your experience, definitely pay for the GoPro package! It's totally worth it to relive those spins and flips!

I recommend booking your session early in the day. The winds tend to be smoother, which makes for a better flying experience and less cancellations due to weather!

My advice is to chat with the pilots before your flight. They’re super friendly and can give you insider tips on how to enjoy the experience even more
