After reading about the after party being added, I called to change from the Plaza Garden viewing booked for $59 pp (after $10 refund) to the more costly Terrace viewing at $84 pp. I lost the benefit of the $40 refund credit and had to pay the difference between the parties, ($84-59), $100 for 4 people. Ouch!
Although the price is higher and view wont be as good, I wanted to be able to eat before HEA without feeling rushed to stake out a spot in the garden. This will let us do rides after the party until closing, when the park starts to get less crowded.
Since the Terrace seating only has the before option (for now?!), this seemed like the way to go for our family. I hope I don’t regret it as the garden option seems much more popular.
