We've only been once and going again this year. We had spent the day at MK so we didn't focus on rides that night. We didn't get to one of the shows early enough and we were standing in the back and couldn't really see so we just left and waited for the next show and got there early for a seat up front. We got great seats for the early parade. The fireworks were incredible. We did get on Buzz a couple times but I think that was the only ride we did. We stood in line a long time for the pictures. I'm not sure if that was worth it. I think the time could have been better spent getting the seats for the show. Try to get a program beforehand and then put a plan in place of what you want to do and start early.
Have fun,
Lucy
