Christmas Carol Train

[Chellymouse]

The Train rolled into Cleveland yesterday and today so with a quick sprinkle of pixie dust (what a day for there to be no work and get sent home after 1 hour and paid! DH had the day off already) got home, grabbed the camera and DH and made the half hour journey up to the "mistake by the lake" stadium to see the train! If the train is coming to a city near you, it's definitely worth the drive. There is quite a bit of movie memorabilia as well as "how it was made", there is a photo shop where you can take your picture and then be morphed into one of 4 characters. This is free and then you receive either email or to the Evil Empire (that would be Walmart) to pick up your pics. I forgot to mention that you also get to keep the pictures free of charge. Ours haven't arrived just yet. After the train, there is a 10 minute (in 3-D) behind the scenes as well as about 5-7 minutes of the actual movie. I would definitely recommend the 3-D version! Here are a few pics!

What's even better, is that DH said that "it was too bad" we weren't going to WDW this Dec. because he was sure that there would be stuff from the movie around the world. I suggested a short (long weekend) 4 -5 day trip and.... DH said that if I pass my cert exam next week and start my new job soon enough that we could! YEA!! I'm hoping the pixie dust keeps coming...well at least for a few more days!

Hey LindaBabe!
Be neat to meet another DISer at the train... I work in Menands, should hop over and see the train.

It will be in DC on September 29th. I've got some connections and swung an invite to the VIP Reception at Union Station. I just hope DW and I are not the only Disney fanatics at an event full of politicians and business people.

I'm glad it worked out for you. The original e-mail, from so long ago, had it coming to Cleveland this weekend, and we booked a room and planned to go with friends from Michigan. Then we realized that the schedule changed...bummer for us, but we'll enjoy the weekend at home.
