Insider Tips

Best Time: Arrive by 6 PM. It gets dark by 7 PM, when the Kingdom of Lights truly shines. Early arrival also means easier parking and time to enjoy pre-show performances

Hack: Upgrade to the "Royal Seat" for the parade if possible – you get a comfy seat and a great view, and it includes a souvenir

Hidden Gem: Post-parade, linger in the Kingdom of Lights until near closing. Crowds thin out and you’ll have the glowing gardens almost to yourself for photos

Optional tip: If you opt for the buffet, head there as soon as it opens (around 6 PM) to dine unhurriedly before the 8:30 PM main show

Photography Tips

Restriction or rule: No photography or videography during the indoor parade show (staff will ask you to check cameras/phones at the door for the show’s duration)
