Bigger parks run food trucks and concession stands with fair-style pricing: budget $10-15 a person for a snack round, and expect card-only lines at some trucks and cash-only at others. Eat a real meal before arriving, since queue time eats the evening, and schedule the concession stop between attractions as a nerves reset. Outside food usually has to stay in the car.
On mid-October Fridays and Saturdays, yes: general-admission waits can run 60-90 minutes per attraction while fast passes cut that to 10-20. On weeknights and early-season weekends, general admission is usually fine. Do the math per person: if the upgrade costs less than an hour of standing in the cold feels worth to your group, buy it for the busiest attraction only.
Wagons run on a loose schedule, so pad 30-45 minutes of waiting around your slot. Dress warmer than you think; sitting still in an open wagon feels 10 degrees colder than walking. Hold bags and phones tight over bumpy fields, load kids toward the wagon's center, and know most rides run 20-30 minutes with no mid-route exit once you roll.
