First, we'll journey to the North Pole with a young child who learns about the true spirit of Christmas along the way. ICE! is a winter wonderland of hand-carved sculptures and displays made from 2 million pounds of ice. Watch the ice carvers at work!
Afterward, we'll view a dazzling array of artists dressed in Christmas finery perform on stage and in the air in Cirque Dreams Unwrapped. This performance takes place very near our lunch venue!
Then it's lunch at the enchanting Villa de Flora. We will be eating in the restaurant's lovely climate-controlled outdoor seating area under the covered St. Augustine atrium. Dine on varied, delicious buffet items sure to please. There will be something for everyone!
Lastly, enjoy free time from 2:30 - 4:00 pm. Take advantage of any or all of the seasonal experiences* taking place at the resort: Snow Tubing in Alpine Village in real snow, Mrs. Claus's Christmas stories and singalongs, Gingerbread decorating, the Sugarplum Fairy leading an interactive Nutcracker show, the Naughty or Nice Escape Room, the Secret Santa Scavenger Hunt and Santa's Snow Throw. Or simply wend your way through the various atriums and their shops, all exquisitely decorated for the holidays. *Seasonal experiences costs and guaranteed seating at Cirque Dreams, if desired, are not included in the trip price.
