Another variable relates to the time you arrive for a show. Usually your wait will

show is 15 minutes long and you arrive 1 minute after a
show has begun, your wait for the next show will be 14 minutes. Conversely, if you
arrive as the show is wrapping up, your wait will be only 1 or 2 minutes.
What to Do If You Lose the Thread
Anything from a blister to a broken attraction can throw off a touring plan. If unfore-
seen events interrupt a plan:
1.
Skip one step on the plan for every 20 minutes' delay. If, for example, you lose
your billfold and spend an hour finding it, skip three steps and pick up from there,
or
2.
Forget the plan; organize the remainder of your day using the recommended at-
traction visitation times included in each attraction profile.
Flexibility
The attractions included in the touring plans are the most popular attractions as de-
terminedbymorethan19,000readersurveys.Evenso,yourfavoriteattractions might
be different. Fortunately, the touring plans are flexible. If the touring plan calls for an
attraction that you don't wish to experience, simply skip it and move on to the next
attraction on the plan. Additionally, you can substitute similar attractions in the same
area of the park. If the plan calls for riding Dumbo, for example, and you're not in-
terested but would enjoy the Mad Tea Party (which is not on the plan), then substitute
the Mad Tea Party for Dumbo. As long as the substitution is a similar attraction (it
won't work to substitute a show for a ride) and located pretty close to the attraction
called for in the plan, you won't compromise the overall effectiveness of the touring
plan.
Afamily offourfrom South Slocan, British Columbia, foundthat they could eas-
ily tailor the touring plans to meet their needs:
We amended your touring plans by taking out the attractions we didn't want to do
and just doing the remainder in order. It worked great, and by arriving before the
parks opened, we got to see everything we wanted, with virtually no waits! The best
advice by far was to get there early!
