Seems pretty crowded with vendors to me at least at LSL (many more than over the summer). My gripe is that it has been the very same ones night after night after night for the year that we have been here so far with very few exceptions. My gripe is it's just boring and blocks off a lot of parking spots. I can probably list them all in the order they are "stationed" by now.
It does however make for a nice "atmosphere". They need some food vendors like they have during the various events...... at least a pretzel guy !!!!!! But of course that would cause the restaurants to be upset.
