It seems to me that this new Globe theater show will be replacing two shows, Miracles and Seseme Street Christmas.
I'm sure people prefer an indoor show over an outdoor show in general.
Zach, you gotta tell us! I don't want my head to explode in public! Is it Rudolph the Glitter-Nosed "Chef Escargot"?

But that finale when they backlight the tree. DON'T YOU TAKE MIRACLES AWAY FROM ME

I'd enjoy seeing that gif, if the server is more compliant today.
So what's everyone actually looking forward to the most? I for one enjoy having a nice time at the park with my parents and siblings, grabbing a meal from the smokehouse, maybe a big bowl of chili, and riding Nacht Tower (If that's returning). I'm a cold weather kida guy. I'll bust out the flannel and a Carhartt coat and ride the train around all night with some peppermint hot cocoa.
Something to really pay attention here is the red fine print of the Christmas Town Pass.
You can not purchase the pass at the park until November 21. You must purchase it online prior to then. This means you are forced to pay for the $4.99 service fee online unless you wait until day one to get your Christmas Town Pass.
This is one of the worst things they can do that really does upset me. It is a terrible business practice to offer something online for the say $25, and then charge a $4.99 fee and not offer it at the park. It basically is a punishment towards people who like to purchase their stuff in advance. Instead of paying $25, you are really paying $29.99, yay you saved $2.01.
I don't mind paying for Christmas Town, but this is just insulting.

I agree PR. It is especially sour when the sister park is including admission to CT with annual membership.
HOS isn't included in annual membership at BGT. And Christmas Town is most likely going to be dramatically reduced from what it was last year, in BGT. Still, this situation is another 'f*** you' to the pass members.

This reminds me of the DMV and how they charge a "convenience" fee for doing something online, compared to going and waiting 3 hours at a location instead. Where they have employees being paid to work.... Logic.

I had a talk with Guest Relations about it. I assume you may have just gotten lucky. I also saw a screenshot of it from someone else. I can't find it now, but later on tonight I plan on checking this out furthermore. To see if maybe it was a fluke for one person or what's going on? After all the parks computer system is one big mess.
No Miracles?! I liked that show. Though I do agree sometimes it was so cold waiting for the show to start that it could be a turn off to some people.
