    Nowhere to sit in shade while waiting on dining hall to open. Drinks were great. Lots of flies around food. Spider webs on deck seats. Ran out of salad and bbq before I got to it because the buffet line was so long. Dessert (apple pie) was not good. Nor was the overcooked dry chicken. Macaroni and cheese was awesome. The show was really good. This experience was not worth the price. It was nice that they picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. But I wouldn’t do it again.
