“The skip-the-line ticket was worth the extra price. We arrived right at opening time and the ticket and security line were both over 100 feet long. The ladies at the ticket pick up escorted us to the front of the security check and were went right in. It was nice to be there before the crowds and all of the vendors set up. Completely different vibe then at noon, when all of the walkways are lined with walls of t-shirts and blankets for sale.”
