Inside the Frozen World of The Polar Express at Gaylord Palms 2026!
Nov 13, 2026
Join us as we experience ICE! featuring The Polar Express for 2026 at Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee, Florida!
We spent today inside the 20,000-square-foot walk-through attraction for Christmas at Gaylord Palms, and we take you with us from the moment we bundle up in the blue parkas to the moment we step out into the cold. ICE! runs November 13, 2026 through January 3, 2027, and this year brings back The Polar Express, last presented at Gaylord Palms in 2019.
Inside, we walk through 11 scenes from the beloved holiday film, all hand-carved from more than two million pounds of ice and kept at a frigid 9 degrees. We see Hero Boy and the Conductor, the journey to the North Pole, the bustling scenes from the movie, and the colorful ice sculptures that bring The Polar Express to life in frozen detail.
We also show you the five two-story ice slides, where we race down the ice, plus the crystal-clear Nativity finale that closes out the walk-through experience. Along the way, we point out the details to look for in the carvings, how the artisans from Harbin, China bring each scene to life, and what it actually feels like to explore the attraction in 9-degree cold.
In this video, you will see our full walk-through of ICE! featuring The Polar Express, close-up looks at the ice sculptures, our ride down the ice slides, and our first impressions of the 2026 experience at Gaylord Palms in Kissimmee, Florida.
Filmed during our visit to Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee, Florida on November 12, 2026, ahead of the November 13, 2026 opening of ICE! for the 2026 holiday season.
