Nice, Does anyone know much about the dinner buffet? Wife's a Veggie so need to ensure she can eat more then steamed Veggies and baked potatoes.

I love this event, but I really hope they change up the Parade this year. With all the financial issues they’ve had, I doubt they will invest in new floats, but it’s pretty much been the same parade every year since it started and it’s time for a new one. And hopefully they don’t have any characters on the floats with poles up their ass rather than getting someone inside it

Does the North pole pass not include admission? Wow thats expensive if you have to purchase admission aswell

It's a full traditional Christmas dinner. Very well worth it!

The website is now live 

SDSC isn’t listed as a ride that will be open, but it will be reopening on December 10, so it will only miss the first night. Interesting to see if it does operate. Or maybe it’s strategic to try and get people to come during the day to try it out

Really?   I thought this was aimed at children.  Last year I left early because my daughter was bored.   So many good free Christmas events at this time of the year that nobody needs to pay these overinflated prices. 

 

2016 Parade

2017 Parade

 

 

Now the fun part is to watch is to watch them both at the same time.  (it's like seeing double)

The thing with the kids market sector is, you can keep reusing the same stuff, as those will grow up and move on, other kids will come along in their place. 

The wiggles haven't changed their product that much over the years aside from keeping up with technology. It's still annoying catching songs and bright colours.

Always enjoy WC. 

Definitely agree they need to give it a little refresh with a reworked float or two, but the entertainment is usually pretty decent, buffet is great, and parade fun for the kids

White Christmas is not the wiggles and is aimed at the small local market.

You sound easy to please.  Do you want half a potato chip?

Not on the park map either, I would go with not listed as the reopening date may change.  I am 100% positive if SDSC is operating during the day it will be at WC.

Not really, you’ve probably seen my assessment of FNs. 

I don’t see WC being for adults, (nor is anything Xmas really) it’s for the kids.

My son has fun, kids rides at night, parade, different characters, so therefore it’s a good night for me. 

Value calculation doesn’t apply as the ticket is included in my membership so it’s win-win imo..

Oh @Brad2912You're in the me, me, me mindset.😀  Today for a short time only Skeet's in the everybody else mindset and I don't believe if Mr Brad didn't get free tickets to the event he would be willing to pay $105.00 to take his wife and child to the event. 

If somebody goes to an event because it's free and wouldn't pay for the event out of one’s own pockets means the event is shit.

 

[Brad2912]

Haha.. you are probably onto something.

i enjoy it, but do I $105 out of my Xmas present budget enjoy it, ehhh maybe once every 2-3 years haha

Though on that rationale no VTP night events would be getting my money of late...

It's not always a case of 'wouldn't' pay, sometimes its a case of 'can't' pay. Don't have the money to spare but would still like to go and enjoy the event.

I believe you missed the point @JaggedJanine.  My post was not intended to talk about reasons why somebody would go to a free event. 

[JaggedJanine]

The event isn't free. 😉

They just have free tickets to an event that one would normally have to pay to get into. There's a difference.

One has to be interested in going to an event to even bother using their free tickets. 

E.g. If I had free tickets to go see U2, i wouldn't. Because I have no interest in them. 

I don't see why someone would waste their time at an event they don't like or want to be at just because the tickets they have a free. 

But also, basing an event on how someone got in or why someone is there is a bit stupid. It's one persons opinion. 

E.g. If i did manage to go to see U2 with free tickets and would never pay for them, doesn't mean the event is shit.

Quite the contrary, my boss gave me free tickets to the U2 360 Brisbane concert and then I payed to see the same tour at the Angle Stadium.  😀

Christmas tree is up, no decorations on it yet though 

[Thrill Seeker]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.... forget the rest of the song🤔

[themagician]

Decorating is underway

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

to be fair - a lot of the lights shown have been up for years...

[themagician]

Entry signage up (TPSN)

And the Polar Express float is on Main Street outside Ricks. So either they have some new floats and want to make photo opportunities with the existing ones OR budget cuts
