We went a little over a week ago and it was beautiful. We got there around lunch time to make sure we got a spot and then hung out all day. My only complaint was with my own family, lol. They were ready to go home within 30 minutes of sunset and I had only just started enjoying everything. I told them I am going back on a week night by myself. 😄

Another parking tip... if you live in St. Johns county, you can go to the finance department in St. Augustine and get a prepaid parking card. Parking in the parking structure for county residents is only $5.

Heading in for my third Nights of Lights visit first week of December on a Wed and Thurs night. I figured out the stay away from Fri/Sat tip on my own. Love the video and am going to specifically see 2 of your suggestions I have missed in the past. Thanks Chad.

Did you drive and park? If so, how was it?

I wanna go! But parking sounds ridiculous!.. I've parked during the week along the seawall but seems like a nightmare in the evening. I'll be here for a few more weeks so thanks for all the info.. especially the photo-ops

[@thischickcantcook]

I live here and didn’t know it was so much to see or do here until I watched your videos

[@ChadGallivanter]

Very cool! Thank you for the kind words.
