What we loved:
Celtic Fyre & Dining with Elmo and Friends

What we didn't love:
Poor Maps and Hard to get around

It did take us a good two days to figure out the layout of Busch Gardens, it is a hard park to navigate. The walkways are small and winey and not every area is connected to the next. The park itself makes a good effort to compete with other theme parks. Still no comparison to Disney. Two things I strongly suggest, or should I say do not leave without doing are Celtic Fyre and Lunch with Elmo and Friends. Celtic Fyre a brand new show presented in the Abbey Stone Theater. Dublins favorite gathering place is transformed for an Irish celebration filled with stories, singers, musicians and the magic of Irish dance. Unforgettable journey with the cast of singers Irish dancers and musicians. We saw the show twice, my son4 who can not sit sill for a minute was in awe and had to see the show again. I think I may have a dancer on my hands. Elmo and Friends at Castle OSullivan an all-you-care-to-eat lunch or dinner kid-friendly buffet. This character meal done right is truly a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Both children got to say hello to all their favorite Sesame Street Friends, take pictures, dance and even throw trash at Oscar! I like that the dining room is setup like a dinner theater, after you got your meal the charters put on a small show then, called you buy table number to the stage for a personal meet and greet. While other tables were finishing there meals. After everyone had a chance for a meet and greet, and dessert was being offered you were welcome to come on stage and dance with the characters. Very nice not having your meal in all your pictures and no anxiety when a character would come to your table.
