  • Arrive early and have your printed or digital ticket code ready to expedite entry, especially if purchasing tickets at the door.
  • Check the Guests page for specific day appearances and autograph/photo op pricing, as these vary by guest.

  • Be prepared for bag checks upon entry; having bags unzipped can speed up the security process.
