As I was visiting on a Wednesday I was not able to see St. Nick to
ask for new coasters for the 2027 season for Christmas.
It is easy to tell which part of Santa's Village dates back to the parks
opening as it looks straight out of the Rankin & Bass show "Rudolph the
Red Nosed Reindeer".
The theming is just so cute that even as an adult it will make you
smile.
One of the few remaining attractions from the first year of Santa's
Village is the Santa's Tree House Slide. I'd totally take it for a
ride but some 54 year old overweight bald guy would look pretty weird
going down it.
If one lived at the North Pole in Santa's actual village would ice cream
be the kind of snack that kids crave? It is a little cold up
there. Kind of curious if they actually had gingerbread ice cream
as that's a flavor I have never tried.
