Detailed itinerary

Stop 1 Pass by

We will be passing through picking guests up on this region.

Gray Line Orlando will pick you up and their driver-guide will accompany you around on this seasonal tour.

We will be visiting the Walt Disney World Grand Floridian Resort Hotel. Guests will see the life size gingerbread house, the smell encompasses the lobby of winter time wonder. This is a unique spectacle and takes hundreds of man hours to produce. This decorate spectacle brings the holidays home with a warm style.

Welcome to the Florida fridge! We transport you to the Gaylord Palms Hotel where you will borrow a blue oversized Parker Coat and head into the "Ice!" exhibition, the ultimate holiday display. This year, guests will find over ten scenes from “The Polar Express,”. Have you ever wanted to slide down an ice slide? Its possible, with a two-story slide where you can side by side race with friends. At the end of the experience the final scene is a serene, crystal clear Ice! nativity scene. There are so many picture perfect moments within the exhibit, and be sure to wrap up warm as it is very cold inside.

Finally as the evening starts to fall we head into Celebration, Florida. The town that was designed by the Disney Company. We visit "Market Street" where they set up ice skating, a Santa Claus cabin and every hour the 'Florida Snow Falls'....... A magical surprise where snow falls down onto the street where the children play. This is the ultimate end to the tour, the homes have such beautiful light decorations and this is the ultimate little Christmas town!
