I'm not sure why it's such a surprise to me, but my players got distracted with a side quest to rescue some children from evil hags that were turning them into pies - so they didn't reach Castle Ravenloft last night! But... next session, they literally only have one thing to do, and that is to travel along the road (it's less than a day away) to the Castle, and because they are under Strahd's protection there will be no random encounters on the way, so I can say with confidence, that next session they will be dining with Lord Zarovich, himself!
