The lines were long but we took our time and enjoyed all the extra special little things!

Ideally, you guys should come along the same time we're there - first week of December, but I understand that's not possible. The folks here can recommend the best of the two timeframes - Thanksgiving weekend or the week before Christmas, but I imagine that between the two, they'd probably choose the week before Christmas. Input anyone?

It's wonderful because the place is decked out for Christmas and it kind of kicks off the holidays. The first week in Dec is good too. ;>
