ICE! featuring The Polar Express

Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee, near Orlando, carves 11 scenes from The Polar Express out of more than 2 million pounds of ice: take a seat in the Hot Chocolate passenger car and zoom down two-story ice slides, including a kid-sized one. It's 9°F inside, so the resort lends everyone a parka; bring hats, gloves and closed-toe shoes, which are required on the slides. Tickets are timed and sold online only (there's no box office), kids 3 and under are free, and parking is extra.
