At long last Florida residents and vacationers have an excuse to put on a sweater, long pants and leave those flip flops at home, as the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center brings back ICE! now through January 2. ICE! Has become a cherished tradition in the Orlando area, where visitors can marvel at life-size ice sculptures in a 14,000 temperature controlled area set to a very frosty 9 degree. Bright blue oversized parkas are provided, but seriously, leave those shorts and flip flops at home.Tickets can be purchased online, at Gaylord Palms, or in conjunction with one of the many special holiday packages that are available through the resort, including the Best of Florida Christmas Package, Christmas Memories at Gaylord Palms Package and Grandparents Getaway. This year's presentation involves an icy twist on the classic story, Twas the Night Before Christmas.
In addition to the dazzling display, there will be plenty of photo opportunities, Christmas gifts, and even a chance to enjoy a cup of hot cocoa in the Gaylord Palms' spacious atrium. There are even a couple of solid ice slides that children can enjoy--it's probably the only place in Florida where kids can go sledding. Buy tickets in advance to avoid long lines; for many visitors and locals ICE! is the highlight of Orlando's holiday season.
