Busch Gardens Williamsburg Christmas Town 2023

Advertising special event food at all is a step in the right direction in my book. Christmas Town has been sorely lacking in that department for years now.
@cricket I have tried it for the past few years. Unfortunately, like all other food in the park, it has been downgraded. I know we get stuck in the nostalgic part but, the food of the first 8 years or so was phenomenal. Here is an advertisement from 2013 and 2012 food the offerings from festhaus.

Have any of you seen how food ads are made? I'd venture about 60% of what's on that plate isn't real to start with.
Does anyone know if Santa is being moved back to the original location since DarKoaster is open? Hopefully the staffing/casting for the North Pole will be better and more enthusiastic this year, and make the walkthrough and wait worth it.
Santa has been moved back since last year, yes!
Nice! I didn’t make it out last year, but plan to attend this year. The original workshop setup with the falling snow, music, and animatronic elves really was magical!
I'm still bitter about their awful attempt at HoS exclusive food: Cake with extra red sauce (like blood, get it?), a chicken tender on a slider bun (stacked!) and donuts. I finally made it to Hershey's Dark Nights and their $35 sampler card for 5 items was a steal (same amount would have gotten me 6 tenders and 6 small rolls at BGW). I was debating the fireside feast the day before the Christmas Town Dash but honestly I think I'll wait for some feedback before committing to that amount of money
The eye-ball donut (raspberry cheesecake) was delicious, though.

HAPPY PRIDE! Have I told y'all I'm nonbinary?

Mostly wit & sarcasm, but contributes occasionally
I enjoy the dichotomy of the Christmas decorations up top with the Jack the Ripper wanted posters in the glass cases
Disclaimer your mileage may very in regards to Christmas Town improvements.
Historically, how pricey has parking been during early Dec for ChristmasTown? Is it generally about $25-$30 or is it usually more on Fridays?
Trying to determine which ticket option to buy - we will be attending on Dec 7 & 8 (could potentially squeeze in a few hours on Sat am before we head over to Hampton (need to check in to our hotel and get ready for a concert we are attending) Wondering if the Christmas Bounce would be worth considering for one of us since it included parking.
Christmas sale ends on Sunday so I'd like to get that discount before prices increase. Thanks for any insight.

On the website, parking is $30 per day, or $55 for 7 consecutive days.
Not sure about going to the park on Sat "am" as the park doesn't open until noon.
Have fun crunching numbers.
