Main Entrance and do the main level first? Or should I book the time slots for our arrival time, then go back and look at everything else Is anyone experienced with the layout and know how long the main level takes? It adds so much more pressure to book two time slots when they are not close together and I don’t know how long each one will take Please help, I’d really appreciate it!
