We went to the 2010 ice show at the Gaylord. We had previously enjoyed the show at the Gaylord and at Opryland before. This one was TERRIBLE. We waited in line four times for a total of over one hour to see a ten minute show that was too crowded to walk well. At past shows you went in, got your parka, and went to the ice show. At this one, their attempt at crowd control was ABSURDLY BAD. Their were eight of us and it was a total waste of time and money. When you have something that works well, leave it alone.

How expenisive is expensive? Since WDW isn’t exactly “cheap,” please put it in perspective for me.

I found the ICE event at Gaylord to be a complete waste of time and money. The access for wheelchairs is awful. There was no pre-show. The aisles between exhibits are narrow. The attendants are ill-informed about all aspects of the event and the hotel itself. The gift shop merchandise is over-priced. The Santa took a two-hour break (?) so no photos. The hobby railroad trains were not running. There is a long journey to the “free” hot chocolate just to make you go past further shopping venues. There is no valet parking or anyone to help the handicapped. The facilities for the actual ICE presentation are rather shabby but then I’m used to Disney’s standards so I was extremely disappointed. I will never go to this event again.

We’re headed to the Gaylord Texan for Christmas weekend, and we’ve booked tickets to ICE. Thanks for the encouraging preview!

Come to Maryland this weekend. You’ll see more ice than you’ll ever want to again. :-)

I agree that it is expensive for a few minutes of fun and to add to the expense, the Gaylord in Orlando charges a ridiculous amount for parking (and there is no other way to get there)

You can also see it in Nasville at Gaylord Opryland. We love going but it is a little expensive.
