Families are encouraged to wear pajamas just like passengers from THE POLAR EXPRESS book and film. Set to the sounds of the motion picture soundtrack, passengers are whisked away on THE POLAR EXPRESS for a magical one-hour trip to meet Santa.
Car hosts punch your golden ticket before hot chocolate and a cookie are served by dancing chefs. Passengers then read along with the classic children's book, The Polar Express, by Chris Van Allsburg. THE POLAR EXPRESS Train Ride is an immersive event officially licensed by Warner Bros. Consumer Products. This event features a staff of energetic hosts who lead the train in an interactive, hour-long experience. Each coach is dressed in festive holiday decor and features color-changing LED lighting synched with the activities on board. Santa and his helpers board the train to greet passengers and each guest is given the first gift of Christmas.
During the trip, characters on each car immerse passengers in theatrical onboard entertainment just like in the film. Each guest gets a keepsake sleigh bell on this magical trip.
Passengers are required to arrive approximately one hour before their listed departure time in order to park and check in.
