Amazing time we had!!! The music was so iconic. There were so many characters around the trail. The way everything was set up was just so cool. Even trees in the distance were lite up, it really makes you feel submerged in that world while you walk through. The staff were so nice helping everyone take pictures along the way. Very fun experience!!!!!
