Gaylord Texan’s popular ICE! winter holiday attraction returns with an all-new, hilarious theme: ICE! featuring DreamWorks’ Shrek the Halls. From Nov. 11 to Jan. 1, the DreamWorks animated holiday TV special will be brought to life in an interactive world of colorful ice sculptures carved entirely from TWO-MILLION pounds of ice. Relive the heartwarming story as you stroll through this amazing attraction featuring your favorite characters: Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Gingy and Puss in Boots as they celebrate Christmas in their own special way. When Shrek tries to plan the “perfect Christmas” for Fiona and the kids, his plans are disrupted by chaos and commotion. But, in the end, Shrek learns the true meaning of the holiday.
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Become an honorary Ogre and join Shrek, Princess Fiona and friends for a fairytale feast fit for a king. Discover a magic fountain bubbling over with intoxicating chocolate potions and more. Solve riddles and puzzles to earn your ogre ears. Shrek, Princess Fiona and friends will visit you tableside for hugs and photos.
The DreamWorks gang is all here, and you can meet them all with a "Character Passport." Stroll through Shrek's beloved swamp for a face-to-face encounter with the green ogre himself; explore the island of Madagascar, where you can see Alex the Lion, King Julien and the Penguins; discover China's ancient Valley of Peace where Po, The Kung Fu Panda, has become a true kung fu master; and greet Gingy in a giant gingerbread house! You can even meet the star of DreamWorks newest film – Puss In Boots!
The whole family will enjoy searching throughout our spectacular indoor gardens on this fun, interactive scavenger hunt. Follow the clues, look high and low – and everywhere in between – to solve the puzzle. Enter your answers online to win the grand prize!
How does an ogre say “good morning?” Find out when you wake up to a special greeting during your stay. Guests can select to hear a wake-up call from a different DreamWorks character of their choice to help get their day started off in a fun and unique way.
The fun begins from the moment you arrive! DreamWorks Package guests will receive an extra-special amenity when they check in to commemorate their unforgettable visit. (Limit one item per package, per guest room.)
Commemorate your experience with a photo featuring you and your favorite DreamWorks character. Our professional photographer will capture the special moment and provide an image worthy of displaying on your fireplace mantle for years to come.
(These experiences are not included but are highly recommended as enhancements to your package.)
