ICE! at Gaylord Palms Resort

Nov. 17, 2008 Through Jan. 4, 2009

ice sculptures in Orlando

Who says Christmas in Orlando is all about theme parks, swimming pools and sunshine? How about an entire attraction hand-carved from ice and chilled to 9 degrees? Gaylord Palms Resort, Orlando’s holiday headquarters, presents this amazing holiday spectacle, created from nearly TWO MILLION pounds of ice!

In its sixth season, ICE! will reflect the theme "Santa's Arctic Blast," featuring several scenes that star "Jolly Cold Saint Nicholas" himself. One such scene is a colossal Santa Claus photo opportunity.   The scene is carved in an oversized scale, allowing adults to be dwarfed by Santa when they sit on his knee.  The resulting photo is sure to be a guest favorite!  

Another popular element, the ICE! castle and slides, have been re-designed to celebrate Santa's Christmas Eve flight... reindeer and all.  The Nativity, carved in painstaking detail from crystal-clear ice, has been called one of the most stirring depictions of the birth of Christ.  A revised design, and a dramatic narrative, has made the scene even more immersive.
