I think the highlight was the meal in the castle. The experience is very enjoyable and highly recommended. Katie and Calvin are old enough now to really enjoy seeing the different characters (previously, Calvin was really scared of even Pooh). It's amazing the kind of "celebrity status" these characters enjoy with children.

Because we were there in the "winter," we didn't have to deal with the overbearing heat as with other times. So, that's definitely a benefit of going in December. The decorations and lights on the castle were really quite stunning. Like nothing we've ever seen before. You'd have to see it to believe it.
