"This is an opportunity for the kids to have a great time as well. Some kids we know obviously aren't going to make it all the way to midnight, so for them to come out, have a good time, feel like they're also included in the event, New Year's is a big time for everybody, so I think that kids would have a blast with it as well."

The event featured character appearances, a kid-friendly buffet and a hot chocolate bar.
