Spent a long 9 hours at Wonderland yesterday, and was really a spectacular day. I read fellow yelper reviews before we went and invested the extra 50 in the fast pass and boy was that the best money ever spent. Although I felt guilty about what felt like budding in line, walking onto rides without waiting totally rocked. We were only going to be there once this summer so getting in more rides without waiting made the day. Caveat-there was a 20 minute wait in the fast pass line for the Leviathon-but compared to the 90 minutes others had to wait-felt like a walk in the park.
The Leviathon did not disappoint, my four year old loved Snoopy Planet and Kidsville, and all the other classics have stood the test of time. I even found the gift shop reasonably priced.
My only beef, like other reviews, was the cost of food-OMG-$4 for a bottle of water!? We spent at least $80 in just drinks. Next year we'll be back but with a cooler of food, and a cooler of drinks. You can't bring it in (except bottled water) but there were a lot of people tailgating, and there is a pavilion where you can sit and eat-so minus one star.
