Well if you buy tickets with some enthusiasm – it should come to it, don’t it. Weird? Apparently more than half of the Dutch citizens had this issue this week as the Efteling was almost full with people quickly getting value for their tickets before the Winter-edition starts. Although crowded it was still pleasant but unfortunately we missed some rides (including Droomvlucht (Dream-flight) but with colder weather and more than an hour of waiting this was ‘too much’ 🙂

We did get our premier time of watching the Ravelijn-show (Ravelin) and obviously our first time (and second time!) watching Aquanura (1x nearing twilight, 1x dark) – so we did cheat and had some fries 🙂 More on that in a later post! To summarize, a day at the Efteling (when its dark early) you better start halfway through the day but as more people do so Droomvlucht and De Vliegende Hollander (The Flying Dutchmen) won’t be that crowded at 10 am though. So the choice is yours for next time, we’ll repeat it soon enough, a tip (from Raimond) is to watch Aquanura from the pier, we found standing in front of the restaurant/theater the best choice!
