Florida's Winter Wonderland, ICE at Gaylord Palms

By
Services for Real Estate Pros Insurance NPN # 13379201

9 Degrees in Florida? Yes, it is ICE at the Gaylord Palms Resort near Disney World In Kissimmee Florida.  

ICE  is Florida's favorite frigid Christmas tradition, with over 20,000 square-feet of frosty 9-degree bliss played out in a winter wonderland of exciting hand-carved sculptures. And this year it's really all that it's cracked up to be, featuring two-story tall ice slides carved entirely from TWO MILLION pounds of ice and an all-new, awe inspiring tribute to the unforgettable DreamWorks' Animation TV classic Merry Madagascar. Relive the story of how Alex the Lion and his friends saved Christmas after Santa and his reindeer crash onto the island of Madagascar. ICE! is hand carved by 40 artisans from Harbin, China and will be arriving in early Fall. And while you're thawing out from this coolest of attractions, you can bask in the dazzling lights of the magnificent Christmas décor throughout the resort and spirited Luminescence Christmas show. You may feel a chill in the air but you'll feel warmth in your heart as you create wonderful holiday memories that last a lifetime.

This looks like a lot of fun. It's amazing what they can do with a block of ice. I'll stick to my 70 degree weather

That looks very cool.  We went there once however it was at night so it was closed.  Maybe it is worth the trip to visit it.
