Honestly though, just embracing the getting-lost aspect adds to the charm… It’s part of the adventure! But seriously, a map is your friend. No secret shortcuts, just try to pay attention to the numbered sections as you move through. And don’t worry about accidentally going into staff areas, we’ve all been there.

Yeah, Seafood Paradise is always packed. It's legendary for the chili crab, but also for the wait times. Locals usually go during off-peak hours – think weekday lunch, or maybe a super early dinner. Or they just accept the wait, because it's...Seafood Paradise. The chaos is part of the experience, I guess. Think of it like a really spicy, crowded theme park.

Haha, that's a perfect description! Spicy, crowded theme park... nailed it. Weekday lunch, huh? I might have to try that. Worth it if the chili crab is as good as everyone says. I've heard stories... people camping out for it. Is it really that good?
