We tend to get to the park early in the morning, come back and relax in early afternoon, and then head back out for early evening. After going non stop for many years, I have found that this way has been best for us.

Recently we took a trip with friends and they did not like to get started early in the morning. There were many times that we didn't leave the hotel until 11 or 12. I did not like doing it this way. I seriously felt like I missed out on a lot of my day.
