Did anyone go to the Rise of the Jack-o-Lanterns yet?
Just wondering about the parking, how fast it fills up.
Also if we need to get there a little early to line up or something.
Thanks!

DH and I are going tonight and was wondering the same thing... if I'm remembering correctly the lot there isn't huge so I am going on the assumption that we'll need to get there at least a little early...

I went last night, and the parking wasn't bad at all. DH and I pulled in around 9:15 for the 9:30 show, and there was still a ton of room left. We walked into the actual show at about 9:20. They didn't make us wait or anything; we just showed our tickets and in we went.
For the first part, there are no lines. You just walk through at your own speed, and the area is very wide. About halfway through, the path narrows. Before that happens, they break you up into two lines. Wear sneakers or other suitable walking shoes...the terrain is rather bumpy/uneven at points.
It took the two of us about 40 minutes to go through. I imagine it would take a bit longer if you're more than two people/have children with you, as those who did weren't going as quickly as we were.
We thought it was really cool--enjoy!

Glad to hear they changed it! I went the first weekend and it was a madhouse! Cool show, but there was no organization and people took that as an excuse to be crazy rude. Parking wasn't too bad, we were directed in and it went pretty smoothly. I think we arrived about 20 minutes prior to the time on our ticket, which was perfect and allowed us time to get in, park, and walk to the entrance. I definitely agree with wearing comfy shoes, and be sure to dress warm!

Going tonight with my 2m old and 3 yr old. Do you think we can bring the stroller?
