it in the sun all right [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
check out christmastime.com that was so beautiful did you see like all those stunts it's like
stunts on Ice well there was a lot of skating yeah because it was on ice and it was indoors
so it was a nice like break a little bit from the heat right because it's still even though
it's Christmas it's still like 75 here right yes a lot of costume changes right they went
in the air got hooked up yeah a lot of twirling so this is one of those shows where like there's
not a lot of narration it's really just like Nostalgia Christmas a little bit of um some
of the songs are a little bit like remixes I think of some classic Christmas and a little
a little bit so there was some nice pacing there was some high energy there was some
low energy and it was very it felt very like again like a date activity yeah right like
sit there with your significant other and watch people run around on Ice really get
you in that Christmas spirit well if Chris's Spirit to you is ice skating
we don't have California we don't have ice skating in California let me just tell you
after next we're off to story times with Mrs Claus Story Time Mrs Claus got it and that
is by the Christmas Village right okay like kind of where the cookies are and all the
Christmasy things are I guess that's where Mrs Claus would be if she's gonna be anywhere

yes and before that we did Mrs Claus we saw Mrs Claus right story time in this class right
so these are I think the two clearly four children kind of Christmas events and what
I liked about it is really how much the they really involve the kids yeah like that's so
important with Children's Entertainment because you don't I mean the kids just want to sit
there and watch a show right I liked how with Mrs Claus they sat up at the front on the
carpet and they handed out jingle bells that was fun and they got like the kids were singing
they were involved and they were raising their hands I mean that was very interactive it
was a lot of it was great the parents seem to have a good time sitting in the back letting
their kids be up there for 12 minutes yeah and then Elmo of course the I like it's a
characters kind of walk through the audience they high-five people you know the Cookie
Monster can give me like a what's up which I appreciate because he's my favorite of course
obviously I can get behind his Christmas wish too cookies are a good thing it's great loved

[Laughter] Merry Christmas
I'm bringing the same with the candy cane oh I'm already eating mine you can't hand
me candy and expect me not to eat it like it's not safe don't leave your candy unattended
Christmas town Merry Christmas Merry Christmas sorry I was gonna use my candy Halloween's
over no it's never over it's never over a haunted attraction Network oh God
you know I just realized that basically basically just trick-or-treated with Santa yeah wow
okay all right
let's head out
so that one is um pork loin and salad and a brownie okay so if you are a past member
you can get a free sample it looks like this this card here and you can pick them up at
the front of the park or right before you enter Christmas Town you scan your barcode
and you can go in on the menu options and select a free sample which is what we're gonna
do here at Christmas town today
yeah you got the fried rice
okay I got the shrimp the red curry shrimp and Jasmine rice and we got I got the Char
Suey pork fried rice okay I'm gonna stay off the bat that looks better what did you think
that was a preview of all the Christmas offerings here at the Busch Gardens Tampa foreign dazzling
we got to hang out with Mrs Claus yes that's true tell a story I got a picture with Elmo
and we got Santa we got candy canes didn't last very long but we got candy canes they
were small candy canes I'm just telling me as well and a little taste of their food sampling
yes we got two food samplings to do but they have tons of carts plenty of carts and so
I think if you're looking at this from either the family perspective or like a date night
yeah I could say it would work really well especially for annual pass holders I think
you could spread out over multiple days there's those two kid-friendly shows so if you brought
a family with younger kids they would love those shows right and then you have all the
regular entertainment as well plus fireworks what not that are all included and if you're
here with a date it's there's plenty of like cute date moments like the Christmas on ice
and there's plenty of photo ops and picture with Santa I mean there's a lot of there's
a lot of I think cute nostalgic holiday moments that are kind of built into the event right
yeah plenty to do come back multiple nights you get a tasting card from my experience
and from the lines tonight I would say if you get the tasting card the 10 or 12 it would
be difficult I think to use them all in one day unless it was like more than two people
I think even six a person would be too much for one day and it'd be a lot of lines yeah
and a lot but it might might do it maybe for like lunch and dinner you know like all your
meals in that so so yeah multiple days lots of entertainment lots of shows photo ops characters
decorations a lot of stuff all right we made it through let us know what you think in the
comments down below thanks for watching
delicious exit opposites
