Its current location isn’t bad, it just lacks seating. They really should reuse the straw bales from haunt as seating:

Those would get too wet, but 2 places that would be MUCH better. BEAST plaza -quiet and more set back (maybe too set back) or Stunt Coaster plaza. Could be off the main path, keep the lanterns from haunt. Add the stained glass nativity pieces along the path and be quite beautiful. Add some benches along with the planters for seating.

Carowinds has 6 coasters operating this year for Winterfest.   Fury, Copperhead, Ricochet, Cyclone, Woodstock and Kiddy Hawk.  
 

They have a longer schedule with 10 more operating days than KI.   And the best lights of any Winterfest. 
 

KI could definitely do more given how much more attendance is there than Carowinds.

The Racer being open during the event because I personally like it better than Mystic Timbers. 

Love love love tinker's toy factory 

Thought I might try the buffet this year as I've never been in the International Street restaurant 

I also have the meal plan this time around so I am looking forward to getting food and hopefully some of the holiday offerings will be included on the meal plan 

You haven't lived until you have eaten a buffet in the IR during Winterfest.

I can attest to this.  The experience was well worth it.

While I appreciate the show having a more prominent location, all the light and sound from Joe Cool's Dodgem School operating nearby can be a distraction, especially during the quieter songs.

I agree,and I definitely think it needs more of an intimate setting. When it was in the former location, though a bigger location, the animal stalls, the patio heaters and off the path made it much better.

As long as the menu features items with names that guests can determine what exactly they would be eating. I know a few years ago, I had to look up what exactly the menu items were. And as long as you can visit on the handful of dates that it is open:
