Curious about what those who have attended has to say. Me and my partner are planning to go see it next week and I would really want to know if it's worth it. I don't want to waste my time getting excited for nothing lol.

I hope it is. I'm not usually one for holiday events and I tend to avoid them like tha plague but I've heard so many good things about it which is why I considered going after my friends invited me.

I am planning to! If anyone here had experienced this please share your thoughts. Thanks in advance!

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?
