Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a bad witch. She was feared and avoided by all the people in the village. Her name was Malvina, and she had a reputation for causing trouble and spreading chaos wherever she went. Malvina had always been a misfit. As a child, she was different from her peers and didn't quite fit into society's mold. This made her resentful and bitter, and with time, her resentment turned into anger and a thirst for power.
I didn't see it offered, so maybe it's an add-on to a season pass as pp mentioned. We caught one line early and had no wait, but another character was loooong so we skipped it (might have been abbey). There is also a character meet/greet with pictures that's set up like a ride with a roof (yeah, shade) and formal line corals. This went quick day 1 (big bird on one side, elmo on the other). The next day, Abbey was there and it was way too long to wait. I guess she's popular. You might be better off scheduling the character lunch.
A Sesame Place Magic Queue pass gives riders access to a separate line, where riders can get to the front of the line much quicker than regular lines for select rides.

This made her resentful and bitter, and with time, her resentment turned into anger and a thirst for power. She studied dark magic in secret, learning spells and curses that could bring harm to others. She became skilled in manipulating the elements, using her powers to wreak havoc and cause destruction.
Slightly Off Topic: Sesame Place
Thank you everyone for all the great advice! I think we're going to do one full day and then see how it goes. If we want to go back the next day we can, or we can try to go back another day in our trip to PA. If anyone has any other suggestions I really appreciate them!

Joined Jun 17, 2007Long time no post. I had a question for the Sesame Place experts out there. Is the Abby's Magic Queue or Unlimited Queue worth the cost? We're going on Monday and I'm not sure if I should spend the money. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Joined Aug 12, 2008Well as of today I'd say definitely not. It has not been crowded at Sesame Place at all. Today we walked right on all the rides or just had to wait through one ride. But, this week school's are getting out so it will be getting more crowded. I guess it depends on your original question. If you are just going for one day you might want to consider it. How much is it just for a day? I've only seen it in conjunction w/ season passes.

We're going for one day (Monday) and doing the Elmo and Friends Lunch. I just don't know if we need the 'line jumping' pass.
At the time of our visit reservations were required and I was able to do that seamlessly online. I was able to choose a time slot for us to go to the water park as well. I printed out my tickets and reservations( as was required) and kept them in a safe place till the day of our visit. I do have to add that no one checked/scanned my waterpark reservation during our visit but I am glad I had it just in case!
The villagers lived in fear of Malvina. They would lock their doors and windows whenever they heard her cackling laughter in the distance. They knew that if they crossed paths with her, they could fall victim to her wicked tricks. Malvina's misdeeds didn't end with the villagers. She would often target innocent animals, casting spells on them to make them suffer. The once peaceful forest became a gloomy and eerie place, as birds stopped singing and animals hid in fear. However, as much as Malvina reveled in her wickedness, deep down, she was lonely. She longed for someone to understand her, to accept her for who she was. But her bitterness and anger had pushed everyone away, leaving her isolated and full of resentment. One day, a young girl named Lily stumbled upon Malvina's lair. She was different too – often ostracized by her peers for her unique and eccentric ways. Unlike the other villagers, Lily didn't fear Malvina. She saw past her rough exterior and recognized the pain and loneliness within. Lily approached Malvina cautiously, extending a hand of friendship. Malvina was taken aback, unsure of how to respond. The two spent time talking and sharing their stories. Lily empathized with Malvina's struggles, understanding what it felt like to be an outsider. As their friendship grew, Malvina's heart started to soften. She realized that she didn't need to be wicked to feel powerful or respected. True power came from love, compassion, and acceptance. Malvina began using her magic to heal rather than harm. She would help the villagers with their ailments, using her powers for good. The once fearful villagers slowly began to forgive her, realizing that she had changed. The bad witch became the good witch, known for her kindness and selflessness. She and Lily continued to be friends, showing the world that sometimes, all it takes is a little understanding and compassion to change someone's life for the better..
