Actually none of the lights were tested before being put up anywhere. They just put everything together and kept going back through and replacing lights. There was actually a section of lights in England that went out as well. Between that and what little rain there was could have caused some issues.
Also, I'm quite upset with the quality of the trees this year. I have noticed spot of emptiness. Last year there were lights on every branch. This year it looked like they skipped sections of the trees.

Most, if not all, of these items were in the Trading Post in New France during the regular season. Probably just shifted to Tweedside for CT as the Trading Post is indoor seating. Redneck is kind of big right now. Not sure it should be at Tweedside though...
No one has mentioned it yet, but the real donuts are back on the Polar Pathway, not those pre-baked, reheated ones that were there last year! That's the advantage of having a building there this year, instead of the tents!

So what would you recommend for the best value for bringing a family of four. Like you said last year's was good. That was always our go to for eating to get the best value even if the food was a little sub par. And $17.00 seems like a price hike over last year. Correct me if I am wrong.

That's a great question. I don't want to recommend anything I haven't personally tried this year so I'm afraid right now your guess is as good as mine. :-/

I agree and yes, I think that is an increased price over last year but I don't have anything to actually document that. Anyway, we saw two other people complaining just in the very short window of time we were there (not including the complaint we filed). Hopefully they'll get it fixed in the next few weeks, but right now at least, I'd definitely avoid Dasher's.
