Me and my crew, unless you have the middle of this week, this will be as good as it gets

Received an email that the city will be open on Wednesday 12/18. Guess they're trying to make up for the days they were closed due to the weather.

Bone chilling on Saturday!  The tram is enough to turn us all into Frozen Charlottes.
We were finally able to see It's a Wonderful Life, at the 1:00 time, as the crowd was not bad.  Frosty was really cold, and I don't care to sit outside like that ever again in subfreezing.  We finally ducked into the cave to warm up.  The crowd was still picking up when we left, but thankfully we had only a minute wait for the Polar Express tram to take us back to our vehicle.  Didn't they used to put plastic on at least one side of the tram?

That was my thought as well.  We'll be going either Wednesday or Thursday (either day has good temps if we want to try to squeeze in some last rides of the year).

I was part of the 10000 that day. Wow that was a cold ride on the open air trams back and forth. It was bone chilling to say the least, but we had a good time despite the limited attraction openings.

Glad you had a good time,. I was surprised when sundays count was 9800 people...  2 pretty good days for December..

Cold, cold weekend.  I don't think I would've gone if I had the chance!  Brrrrr!

Wed the 18th...  they drew in a little over 7000 people..  so I would say for being unscheduled they had a good turn out..

We went 2 years ago between Christmas and New Year and it was very light for attendance. Lots of sales in the shops but not much running attraction wise because of cold weather. Can't speak for this year though.

Other than a few small patches here and there that are in the shade all day, it has all melted.
