I loved the cozier setting of 1st class. Way less crowded and easier for kids to enjoy the "show". The North Pole can be seen from the windows as we went slowly by.
I actually debated whether to buy first class or not and decided on coach. I can tell you that it is not worth the extra money. Coach seating is just fine. You will enjoy the same for a lot less
First class has way more leg room and less people. Kids get a better interaction with the staff and santa. The mugs are cool too. The only subpart thing is the windows. There's really nothing to see out of them.
