I don't know if it was the setting or my state of mind but I loved it! We made it 2 different times. My DH is not an early riser/mover so we never got to take advantage of EE so this was perfect for me and the kids! We got up dressed walked down, I got my coffee and spent time with great characters! They spent a lot of time with kids. Walked around the petting zoo. I was able to get pictures with 3 or 4 characters in the shot! Loved it ! I highly recomend not missing this!
