Children can share their wish lists and pose with Santa for a keepsake photo taken by the resort's photographers; personal cameras and phones are not allowed at the set, and every visit requires buying a photo package, which can cover several people in one picture. Visits are booked by date on the Gaylord Palms ticket site, so families can plan a Santa stop around an ICE! entry time or a day at the resort, and the resort is cashless. Santa's season at Gaylord runs from the November 13 opening until Christmas Eve. ## Similar picks in Orlando - [Christmas at Gaylord Palms: ICE! featuring The Polar Express](https://grassyknees.com/orlando/activities/christmas-at-gaylord-palms-ice-featuring-the-polar-express--listing-91664d4b6ccc4b0765d103d2) — Nov 13 – Jan 3 · Gaylord Palms Resort, Kissimmee · All ages · Paid · checked Oct 14.
