The light show is open from 5–9 pm, with Chaos Christmas taking place from 7–8 pm. Enjoy the lights before or after the show! Please allow 30–60 minutes for the lights, in addition to the one-hour performance, so you have time to enjoy both. Interactive Prop Bags: Grab a custom bag at the door loaded with noisemakers, goofy props, and cue cards designed to derail—or direct—the cast throughout the performance. Crowd Participation: Channeling a playful, Rocky Horror-style dynamic, you will shout out prompts, trigger ridiculous cast challenges, and help guide the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet-to-Come as they try to keep Scrooge on script. Note: Not ready to join the madness? No problem! Audience participation is optional, so you can sit back and watch the chaos unfold from the safety of your seat.
