Primary sources first
For operating rules, booking windows, eligibility, and policies, we prefer current first-party information. Secondary reporting can be useful for context, but a rule that affects a reader's trip should be traceable to the organization responsible for that rule whenever possible.
Date-sensitive claims
Theme-park operations change. When a fact can materially change—such as a reservation window, benefit, or queue procedure—we aim to include a checked date and update the guide when reliable new information becomes available.
Strategy versus fact
Editorial recommendations are clearly different from operating facts. A statement about how we would route a park day is judgment; a statement about an official purchase window is factual and should be sourced. Keeping those categories separate makes the advice easier to trust and update.
Corrections
Material errors should be corrected promptly while preserving stable URLs. If a recommendation changes because the underlying system changed, the page should be updated rather than replaced with a new competing article.
Commercial independence
Affiliate relationships may eventually support Park Day Lab. Commercial relationships do not determine editorial conclusions, and recommendations should remain useful even when no commission is available.
