Over the years I’ve tried to share my tips for theme park trips. Here are my best posts in that category.

Get Over Your Fear of Roller Coasters
I’m always surprised how many comments I get from people who are afraid of coasters and want tips on how to overcome their fears so that they can enjoy an upcoming trip with friends.

Best Times To Visit Parks
The month, day of the week, and even the time of day can greatly affect the crowds that you encounter while you’re at a theme park. It’s always best to plan ahead and avoid the busiest days.

Theme Park Discounts, Deals, Coupons
Every year I put up a post where readers can share the many discounts and coupons that are out there. From coupons at gas stations and fast food restaurants to membership discounts like AAA, I’m hoping that once again we can share where the deals are. See the current deals and add any that you might know of at: Theme Park Discounts, Coupons, & Deals.

Most visit theme parks in groups, but some (like myself) occasionally do a solo trip and they enjoy it. In this post I covered the pros and cons of going to theme parks by yourself.

I wrote a post after some riders were turned away from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter ride. It includes a link to the site A Fat Girl’s Guide to Living which had more tips and resources.
