I got my tickets, excited to see this event on the first night. Hope the holiday food is better than last year, the event also being extended is a nice change.

Yes, mine have been extremely low since they said it will be outdoors…but if they somehow get Nathan Chen to show up and do a meet and greet I will be buying tickets.

I think everyone should temper expectations on the skating show.

I think it’s because I said I don’t think elite skaters will want to perform on plastic ice (and if they do it won’t be very good), and then someone else said money solves everything and then you replied that Sea World did it— so I can’t speak for the poster you’re responding to, but I did read your comment as “Sea World got elite skaters to perform on plastic ice.” Anyway, it sounds like we are about 2m out and there’s been no further info on the skating event they teased?

I am confused. There is nothing in the post you quoted that would indicate that I said it was fake ice. Although I considered as a possibility that they would do fake ice and rollerblades. I wouldn't put it past them.

I was really considering doing this but the higher price (only $10 more) when compared to the MK event really hurts it. I know it's more of a "short lines plus some holiday stuff on top" but it is just hard to convince myself to spend that kind of money in a park that's already short on things to do. But...if the Citizens of Hollywood returned then that might be enough to make it worth it for me.

Quick question that might be a little far out - do we know if Jiminy Cricket is gonna be a part of the character offerings this year? My girlfriend and I are weighing Jollywood against MVMCP and to be honest that is a factor 😂

That’s not fake ice, it’s very much real, I saw the Zamboni and everything.

I didn't go to Jollywood last year so I have no idea how the event was and I'm not going this year but I feel like this event just needs more. Like a parade or dare I say the Osborn lights? They're charging an insane amount for this, I guess it must have done enough last year that they decided to bring it back.
