The Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee, Florida, has unveiled its enchanting theme for this year’s ICE! attraction: “Elf.” This beloved Christmas experience will transport guests into the whimsical world of Buddy the Elf™, bringing the magic of the holiday film to life with magnificent, larger-than-life ice sculptures.
The dazzling ICE! holiday attraction is masterfully carved by a team of 240 expert artisans from Harbin, China, home of the world-famous Harbin Ice Festival. These skilled craftsmen spend about 40 days across six locations creating a vibrant, icy spectacle that fills a grand total of nearly 120,000 square feet. Visitors across the country will journey through vivid floor-to-ceiling scenes hand-crafted from 12 million pounds of ice. The attraction is kept at a chilly 9 degrees Fahrenheit to preserve the intricate, frozen detail. To stay warm, guests will don the attraction’s signature blue parkas.
This year’s ICE! attraction at Gaylord Palms will capture the spirit of the holidays through iconic moments from the film “Elf,” daily from 10am – 6pm. Guests can enjoy unique photo opportunities, exhilarating two-story-tall ice slides, and a festive atmosphere that celebrates the joy and wonder of the season.
