Christmas shines brightest at Christmas Town 2023 - Busch Gardens Williamsburg

#buschgardens #christmastown
The spooky season is over. And at theme parks, that means we skip right over Thanksgiving and are heading for the most wonderful time of the year - Christmas! We traveled to Williamsburg, Virginia to witness opening weekend of the event where Christmas shines brightest. We will talk about the shows, the experiences and the millions of Christmas lights. We were excited this year for the return of one of our favorite Christmas Town shows that has been missing since 2019 - Gloria! Plus we enjoy a new light show. And we'll check in on Santa and Rudolph and Frosty and more. Join us as we celebrate the joy of Christmas at Christmas Town 2023!

    Busch Gardens really does it up for their Christmas events. Of all the parks we have visited so far, Christmas Town was our #1, but we went to the one in Tampa. The train ride was pretty fun. We are booked for round 2 after Christmas! The Polar Pathway Spectacle of Lights was spectacular!! Ha!! The Grinch song is barely Christmas adjacent!! Lol!! True, and brilliantly stated!

    The shows here are so great! It is very easy at this Christmas Town event to have a lovely evening just watching the shows, checking out the decorations, riding the train and having dinner without ever getting on any theme park rides. We had a great night. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    Williamsburg is an amazing place! Especially at Christmas. This park is so well decorated with all those lights. I am ok with Emily believing "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" is a Christmas song. But Jack would read yall the lyrics to that song line by line and then ask you if Christmas was ever referenced in any way in that song. Maybe don't bring it up if we ever we meet in person. Thanks for watching!

    A lovely visit to Busch Gardens there in Williamsburg, Alice and Jack. Would love to see some of the shows and the "A Scrooge No More" sounded like it would be fun. Speaking of Scrooge, Jack. Who doesn't like Dr. Seuss? 🤣🤣I'm thinking it may have been you who stole Christmas! 😁😁But, we agree that the true meaning of Christmas is the best! Loved the colorful train ride. Thanks so much for bringing us along.

    LOL. Jack actually does like Dr. Seuss - and the old Grinch cartoon. (He isn't very enthusiastic about the newer versions.) But he does NOT like people treating that song like a Christmas song. I think the fact that it is in a Christmas cartoon is enough for it to be classified as a Christmas song. I suppose he does have a point that the lyrics of that particular song don't have anything to do with the Christmas holiday as it is just about how bad the Grinch is. But I just like to laugh at his reaction every time it gets played with other Christmas songs during the holidays. We were very impressed that this park doesn't shy away from including the true meaning of Christmas along with Santa and snow men and flying reindeer. This really is a lovely event. Thanks so much for watching our video!

    Busch Gardens Williamsburg is already a beautiful park any time. But when you add all the Christmas decorations, it is stunning. And the shows are great too! Having seen all your videos, yall would probably be generally disappointed in the food here (lots of 5s and 6s out of 10s). But no park is perfect. This one comes close to perfection at Christmas each year though!
