"Visited Christmas day, and place was packed around 3:30 pm. Purchased tickets online. No assigned seating, so I recommend arriving way before show time to assure you find desired seats. You may place online ordering for food and snacks. Deals you find online will not be offered if you order at the counter. That's a bummer because it takes longer to get your online order vs. waiting in line. Theater did not have anyone check tickets, which makes me think that it causes theatre rooms to get overpacked like today. Only available seats were first row, and those seats are not a good place to watch"
