So let's just dive into how to plan your trip itinerary. I would say start scoping out what you want to do. It is nice to plan a trip around those big ticket attractions. We mentioned theme parks.

Often, these are good to plan in advance, particularly because they are cheaper if you buy those tickets online in advance. Often, we're seeing this trend of dynamic pricing where prices can fluctuate, particularly if you are buying them at the ticket window.

So even if one of them is sold out for an individual a la carte ticket, you have this pass.
