Does anyone know what time you're able to get into the esplanade of DTD? I'll be visiting on Thursday and I'd like to get there as early as possible. (We're staying in a hotel across the street.)

On the weekends it’s around 9:30am, but with BVS opening on Thursday I imagine people will be there earlier than normal to get in.

No surprise but perhaps slightly disappointing. The handmade candy canes are one of my favorite things to see at Christmas time.
Here, then, is a pic i took, in memoriam ;-).

Did anyone make reservations for Breakfast with Santa at Catal? I've seen a few posts on the Facebook group I'm in that some reservations are cancelled. But I guess Catal is trying their best to figure out how to keep them since they have to move all dining to outdoors.

Change my mind.

I wish! Maybe in my next life? She's a superhero -- that's for sure!
