Two-hour holiday experience: guests in pajamas board a heated train for a live 'Hot Chocolate' performance with dancing chefs, cocoa and a cookie, and a visit from Santa, who gives each guest a silver sleigh bell. At the 'North Pole' there are holiday crafts, s'mores kits, model train layouts and photos with Santa. Sensory kits, headphone check-out and a character-free Sensory Station are available; guests needing accessible seating should buy Bronze Car A.
