BG Williamsburg is a wonderful park. You might have trouble fitting it all in with just one day. As for tips, I would suggest trying to do the roller coasters early in the day. Try to time it out so you get a chance to see all the shows. As for food...I have never had a bad meal at BG. The food is a bit expensive, but wonderful. Our favorite place to eat is the Fest Hause (sp) in Germany. They have a big selection and often have entertainment! If you have little ones, they will love Land of the Dragons. On our vacations to Williamsburg we usually get a flex pass which allows unlimited access to BG, Water Country USA, Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown. We usually make a week long trip out of it and usually do the historical stuff during the day, and we would go to BG every night after 5, and stay until is closed. It worked out great for us, because by late in the day the crowds thin out, its cooler and there are not lines for the rides. Our kids could often get off a coaster and turn right around and get back on and not have to wait in a line at all! Hope you have a wonderful trip and build some great memories...
