A merry, unforgettable journey filled with joy, wonder and holiday cheer
About This Ride
Climb aboard the Santa Express for a magical holiday journey. Enjoy festive music as Santa strolls through the decorated train, greeting families, chatting with kids and posing for photos.
Every child receives a special gift bag with goodies and a wish list to give to Santa. During the ride, Santa, Mrs. Claus or one of Santa’s cheerful elves reads the classic tale The Night Before Christmas.
