We went for the first time in Dec '09. While it was great to see the shows, fireworks and parades there is no way I would spend that much money to go again. They didn't close early and reopen so that made it possible for all the people that were already there to be able to stay for the party. Now, they couldn't ride any rides, do the special character meet 'n greets and drink the hot chocolate and eat sugar cookies without having the party wrist band on but.....they saw the same shows, fireworks and parades that my family saw and paid an extra $160 to see! While we were waiting for a show to begin I actually overhead a man telling his family that he was glad the didn't pay extra to see this! Never again!
