5 Essential Tips for Your Trip to Everland
Planning a last minute trip to Everland, I searched the internet for transportation and ticket options for our family of four. We were staying in Yeonnam-dong near Hongdae in Seoul, Korea and needed to get to Yongin, Gyeongi-do which is about an hour away by car. Follow what I did and you will have an easy trip there and back! No need to speak or understand Korean!
1. Getting to Everland
I purchased tickets for a shuttle bus that picked us up from hongdae and took us to Everland. The meeting point for the bus was super easy to find following their emailed instructions. We got picked up at the Hongik University station (exit 8), but they have other pick up locations too. The bus was on time, had comfortable seats and dropped us off right at the Everland parking lot. The ride took less than 1 hour.
The shuttle bus departs Everland at 6:30 PM so we headed towards the same spot it dropped us off at about 20 minutes before. Buses have their own special lane so it is faster than driving a car especially during traffic. It was a great bus ride and everyone got to take a nap!
2. Where to buy Everland tickets
To find the best prices to Everland I searched all over the the internet and found these tickets. They were much cheaper than purchasing directly from Everland. It was super easy to use. They email you the ticket vouchers which you could show directly from your phone at the entrance to get inside.
3. Use the Everland Smart Queue
Smart Queue is used to reserve your spot in line for major attractions/rides at Everland. I highly recommend it to save some time. Download the Everland App before you go. You can prepare by signing up with their membership program SOMSATANG. If you don't have a korean phone number or kakoa, you can create a Guest ID. Everything is in english and it walks you through the steps. Now register your Everland tickets on the system which is saved in the Everland Pocket (max 12). Smart Queue is available to use as soon as you enter the park. Once you enter the park, start making reservations with the app.
4. Use the Everland Smart Queue
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
