When I learned during researching that the stage shows were going to be discontinued, I decided we had better go sooner than later and made it a birthday gift for her. Visiting the HLE was not something on my radar until my young teen daughter learned about it and asked to go. However once we was the Christmas show, part 1 and 2, we were blown away with the acting and singing. We always had to exit through gift shops which made it difficult to maneuver.

Signage was sparse and many times were were trapped in the Coliseum area and we had to back track through the crowds to get out of the Coliseum. The park was not laid out as well as expected and some alleys and walkways were very narrow causing bottlenecks.

Glad we got there at the beginning, I would hate to see how long it took to get through the lines at peak time. That took 1/2 an hour to park, get tickets then through the lines. The we had to wait in another line to pay for the tickets, then we had to wait in another line for my purse to get inspected and then a metal detector. The attendants were unorganized and tried to double collect from some cars and others got missed. It took 15 min just to wait, single file cars into the parking lot to park. We entered the parking lot as the gates opened.

I was not impressed with the start of the experience.
