The pricing on this seems crazy to me. :jaw:Over the summer, they were charging $59 for adults and $34 for children and if I remember correctly, you got refreshments and special viewing for the welcome procession, reserved seating for the Sing-A-Long, and then a desert party and special viewing area for fireworks. I believe there was also a special pin.
Now they've upped the price for adults by $30 and you are getting even less! And really- Reserved viewing area for Osborne Lights? How is that going to work? Part of the experience of the lights is actually wandering around and taking it all in, not just standing in one place. You are essentially paying for a guaranteed spot at a free show, some cupcakes, and a lithograph. At least throw a character in there or something. Doesn't have to be A&E, it could just be Kristoff.
I have been trying to take the approach of "Hey, not for me, but if there's an audience who wants to pay, who can blame them" with all of these events, but this just seems like milking a fan base to the last drop. At least make it something worth the price.

dumb question
I thought these were things you can do for free (besides the treats), so we have to pay to do the frozen sing along and to go to Osborne lights?

Couldn't agree more, Maryanne.

No, you do not! They are both free with admission. This gets you "reserved seating" which I kind of get with the song a long, but not for Osborne Lights.

Unless they try something like having a showing of the Osborne Lights 30 minutes before opening it to the general public. Close off the street and only people with the premium package ticket can get into the area.
I am not saying they should do this, but I can see them doing something like that.

Good point. That's really the only thing that makes sense.

We will have to wait for reports to come in from people who actually pay to play. On the face of it, this looks like another one where people will be unhappy at the end of the night.
