Our experience was much like yours last Wednesday. We thoroughly enjoyed the lazy river, Wave pool, snacks, dance party, and got a few pictures with Genie!We went to the event last Wednesday and really enjoyed it. Got in at ~7pm, grabbed a couple chairs and headed over to Miss Adventure Falls. This was the longest wait of the night at about 25 mins but was a good kick off. Other rides had varied lines but none too long for us or our 4 year old. Floated around the lazy river and grabbed some ice creams and snacks. Seats and snacks were plentiful from what we saw. We only met Genie and not Donald or Sebastian, but the line was less than 10 mins. Hit the wave pool and enjoyed the atmosphere and found a bus back to BLT waiting for us at the stop around 10:30. Overall, we had a blast and didn't find it overly crowded, and water parks aren't typically in our plans (although now with the Platinum Plus Pass deal that may change.)
We are going tomorrow night. Hoping for no crowds as well.We went to the event last Wednesday and really enjoyed it. Got in at ~7pm, grabbed a couple chairs and headed over to Miss Adventure Falls.

I was very disappointed in the event this year. We went on the July 5th event. It was very busy. Asked where Genie was going to be early. Put stuff down got in line early. Brochure said character would be out at 8:30. Genie gets out at 8:50. Gotten bitten up while waiting. Photopass picture you had to pay for. Beverages water or lemon aid, so water an only option for those needing low/no carb option no lite lemon aid. Ice cream DD got was all melted. Lines were very long for all the rides. Should not have had to go searching then wait in line for towels. Bus was freezing and stopped at multiple resorts.
Genie was up front and Sebastian was over by Crush n Gusher. It was around 8 when we saw Sebastian.I've seen this asked but nou answered. Can someone tell me where the 3 characters are located and what time they start greeting?
Donald was all the way to the back (right side of wave pool).Genie was up front and Sebastian was over by Crush n Gusher. It was around 8 when we saw Sebastian.
I guess since it was FREE I shouldn't complain - but I do feel like it was sorta "over sold". I mean every chair was taken so you know it was a packed park. We had fun but might have had MORE fun with fewer people...
Can you clarify the part about paying for pictures. Do you have AP that includes pictures or memory maker?
Our APs expired on June 30th so not included. I do think that the 5th was more crowded because of being a holiday week.
