Sorry my review is piecemeal but with a 6yo and a 6mo it's hard to sit down for any long period of time and I really wanted to try and help others as I have been here for a few years now getting all sorts of help/advice 
Here's my 2 cents:
PRINCESS FANFARE:
We went on a Monday afternoon and it wasnt that busy. We were the only ones there coloring and then 3rd in line for face painting which was SO worth the 12$...heres a link to my daughters face: http://www.dotphoto.com/Go.asp?l=k.eitel&P=&AID=4578847&IID=162181333
The line to see the princesses was very long and weve done Ariels Grotto and other character meals/story times in the last 2 years that dd didnt even ask. We watched the little show from the balcony but I think by going down to the crown making area and letting the little ones participate in the little maypole thing is something we should have done. We will try that next week and Ill post how it goes
I personally liked this area its tucked away a bit, shaded, cool, fun, had restrooms nearby, and a food stand. I thought it was nice to have a place to just hang out a while and take a break from all the running around!
OUTLETS:
I decided to give the outlets a try heard so much about it that I couldnt pass it up! It was smaller than I thought but not that they didnt have some neat stuff. Lots of 50th Golden Ears left and other 50th merchandise as well. I got the little 50th golden ears key chain hehehe too cute and I never saw it during my 50th visits.
You know the tall souvenir buckets that the popcorn comes in? They had a bunch of those for 50 cents. They were used during the 50th but were pretty generic looking.
I got some Princess jewelry boxes that were filled with jewelry candy for 2.00 and brought those back to friends at home.
I got myself a sweatshirt and although it was still 29.00 it was cheaper than anything I would find in the parks!
They had those BIG navy & yellow weather jackets that the cast members use when its cold and rainy (I remember them well back when they had the parking lot out where Calif. Adventure is now). They were only 69.00 and I wanted one but just didnt know when Id wear it again if at all?? Who knows maybe Ill go back and get one???
Lots of apparel and misc. items and glad I went
Of course please post if you have any questions!!
