Went to Luminarias for the first time this year, and it was a good time. Overall a really nice evening but would do things differently next time. We went to the later portion of the evening, and got the dinner tickets. Next year we will go at the earlier time, and skip the dinner.
The food was bad, seriously...it was gross. It felt like it was catered by a senior living facility. Also, they don't make people who show up early leave, so it was really crowded.
I would like to go earlier because it is nice to see the gardens with a little sunlight, and even cooler to see them first with sunlight, then the darkness. All the activities were really fun, I love the live music around the place and the lights were beautiful.
Advice: Go to earlier show and skip the meal
