- Breakfast with Elmo & Friends: Guests can start their day at a separately ticketed breakfast at Seafire Grill at 9 a.m.
The celebrations continue on February 3 with Elmo’s Birthday party, included with park admission. Similar to the Just for Kids weekend, guests can enjoy more meet-and-greets, dance parties, and photo ops around Sesame Street Land, including:
