No, the Santa dine does not appear to be on the list. I don't actually recall their doing Sana's Fireside Feast being offered in 2019, actually, but I could easily have missed it.



It looks as if Kings Dominion is doing cookie decorating with Mrs. Claus again this year, however.

Excited to be attending this event. If I go in two weeks; this will make it the sixth time I have visited Bush Gardens Williamsburg this year. Had to call the park for clarification on the terms "Preview". They clarified that those words only mean that it is the first weekend of the winter holiday event. I interpreted as meaning we were only getting a small preview of what is to come for the holiday. No; that wasn't right; thank god.

I am crossing my fingers that the weather is good. I get off work early on November 14th; which will give me rough six hours inside the park once I get there. Will be very excited to taste the different holiday food and ride some of my favorites like Verbolten. In one of the display pictures; it shows a nice light display near Verbolten's final drop. Looks pretty cool.

But I want to hear everyone's past experiences at this event. I know cold temperatures can cause ride closures; which can make the event seem like a total waste. Does the park generally try and keep the rides open at 40 degrees? KD was pretty strict and closed rides without hesitation. I'm sure Verbolten is still the crowd pleaser for this event. With a majority of the ride taking place inside the event building; does it get a pass in cold temperatures?

How about food? I generally enjoy holiday food. Bush Gardens has great food overall. But what's open and closed during Christmas Town? What should I eat?

Dine with Santa was definitely there in 2019. We went to it.

I hope maybe it will be added shortly as an update. Our kids asked about that the other day when we talked about going. They loved that so much. We did it in seaworld orlando last year. Not sure why it wouldn't make a return unless it's a covid thing.

They simply can't get enough staff to do more things

Seaworld is offering breakfast with Sesame Street and Dinner with Santa this year. Hope BGW adds something!
 
Don't know if this has been asked. Back in July (I think) there was a member benefit that was a Christmas insulated cup. Does that have any significance now that CT is starting. Do we get discounted drinks in them?

I only see one train stop listed so I am thinking we can assume it's round trip only again
Yeah, they’re also selling a quick queue for it, which they can’t really do if it’s not. (Which is honestly a huge part of why it is).

My other question for this map is where, exactly, they will be selling hot chocolate, given that of the food outlets listed the only one that has historically done so is I believe Grogan’s.

They sold them for the sky ride in the past when it was every stop so it's not out of the question.

The Pretzel shop has sold it in the past so there are two at least
 
What is it like in the Santa Darkastle? Do you even get to go in or is it all in the Queue?
 
More CMT stuff, Im guessing the frosty photos are in the gazebo.
