Busch Gardens at Christmas

[monarchsfan16]

I'm trying to figure out how to schedule my brief trip to FL in December. Trying to figure out if/when to add BG into the plans. I know that Christmas Town has been offered on weekend nights the last couple of years. Is there Christmas entertainment during the regular park day, or is it limited to Christmas Town?

There are some Christmas theme to the regular shows and the park is decorated during the day. We went to Christmas Town last year and had a really good time. The shows shown during the Christmas Town were only shown then. Not during normal hours. We'd do Christmas Town again, but not the dinner with Mrs. Clause. The food was ok, but we thought the dinner with Santa at SW was better food.

We really enjoyed the Busch parks last year. We were there from Dec 22 to Jan 1. Very busy time, but I loved all the decorations that I never get to see as we usually only travel in the end of summer, and nothing special usually happens then.

All the regular rides and animal encounters are operating in December but for the last several years there are 3 Christmas shows in place of the regular shows. A holiday ice show at the Iceploration theater, a Christmas music/dance show at Desert Grill and a Gospel/Christmas songs show at Marrakesh stage. The Christmas Town shows are even different from the daytime Christmas shows.
