In their words
“The parade is worth it, beyond what I expected.”
“It is, of course, geared towards children- and there are long wait times for the rides.”
“Also the first impression (from street) was a bit underwhelming. The building seemed worn and faded, but inside was great.”
“Food is okay and love the interior designs. Merchs were not that great”
