We just did the BBQ. Would you be taking any children with you if you went?
Here's my opinion on the whole thing - take it for what it's worth!!!
I believe that younger children that still believe in the magic of the characters & that they are the "real thing" loved the BBQ. The character interaction was great.
The food was okay - not great - although I loved the cake.
Our DD's are 14, 11 & 11 & they had an okay time. I wish we would have done it when they were a little younger because they would have had a blast. We joined in with the line dancing just to get up & do something.
Anyway, if your kids are young I would suggest the BBQ. If they are a pre-teens or older then I suggest spending the money on the Hoop Dee Doo.
