Tips:

- We recommend bringing as little as possible with you. You’ll probably have to cloak anything bigger than A4 (refer to the venue restrictions).
- A great advantage of purchasing an Early Entry Experience is so you don’t have to turn up early to queue. You’ll have your own queue separate from the general admission. Save your energy for the said dancing we mentioned earlier.
