Thinking about hopping in the car and heading up to the visit the city today/tomorrow. Being Sunday and Monday I figured the Christmas crowds would be lighter. Now with the temps in the 30's and possible snow on Monday, I figured just about all rides will be closed, further reducing crowds. Perhaps it might be a good couple of days to bundle up and look at the lights, ride the train etc?
Check with the park to make sure they're not closing. About 10 or so years ago we were there on a Saturday in December. Got there around park opening at 11 and a little after 4 they announced that winter weather was moving in and they ended up closing at 5:30. We were parked in Lot 3 at the bottom of the hill so we were fortunate to get out before it began. They ended up getting 4 inches of snow.
Always been a bucket list thing for me to be at the park when its snowing.
Tomorrow should be a pretty good day to go for shows/lights/train.
Crowds in mid November were lighter on Sunday and Monday but it was a very cold weekend. Was very easy to get into the shows -- Opera House, Red Gold, Saloon not full when we went. Train was about half full.
Well we ended up going. I think we got there around 5 or so and started off eating a the Mill. Walked around and looked at lights, watched the parade, rode FITH since it was the only thing open besides FM I think, did not ride the train. Left around 8. We were going to go back Monday and look at more lights and ride the train, but instead went to that magic show at the Cabaret as we decided it was too cold. Had we gone it would have been lightly snowing. Kind of sorry I missed that.
