Trip report D183

Exactly! Same thwarmp thwarmp thwarmp sound when they walk in unison, same cold lifeless black eyes and devoid facial expression. Right there with you!

A couple years ago, we were there on a day when the MNSSHP was starting (but we werenā€™t staying for the party). Crowds were actually great and quite small all day. Then, shortly before the party, the place practically exploded with people. It was like crazy busy. Fortunately, we left.

So, the reason Iā€™m saying this is because I have a question: Did you notice an increase in park attendance for the party itself compared to a couple hours before? Or, maybe it isnā€™t a fair question since (1) it was a rainy day earlier and (2) you went to see Mary Poppins.

Okay, Scrooge!

Yes, we go every year. They do a great job!

Toledo Zoo has a similar event called The Lights Before Christmas (which, awkwardly enough, run all the way through the week AFTER Christmas!). Weā€™ve been going for several years. In fact, we get a Toledo Zoo family membership almost exclusively for the purpose of seeing the Lights each year.

Back row, in the rain, when you are sliding all over the place, is the best experience I have ever had on that ride!
