Disney's A Christmas Carol Train Tour - anyone been?

[Jenvenza]

I found out the the train is going to be in our town today, so my sister and I are taking our kids to it this evening. It looks like it will be lots of fun and I am ready to get off work, so we can head over there! Hopefully I can take pictures, if so, I will post some later. Has anyone done this? If so, how was it? I think there should be plenty to look at to keep the kids interest. They are even supposed to have snow - which is not something we see often in Houston!

It was here months ago in Los Angeles and we went.

We stood in line for three hours!

It was nice and neat, but not worth the three hours to stand in the heat.

The best part was the end, where they let you into a portable theatre and they showed up a preview of the movie.

I had trouble getting the character photo-change thing to work. (I tried to be vague so I don't spoil it!)

Oh no - we wont be waiting that long! If it is more than a 30 minute wait, we will just not go! I hope there isnt that long of a line!

I hope not either, for your sake. We don't have kids but the kids in line around us were enthralled by the technical stuff. They explain how the movie is made and there are some cool things to look at and do and yes, you get to actually go inside the train, which is something I thought was very cool.

Luckily, the Disney people there running the event had signs up and were going up and down the line telling/warning people how long that line really was! We took the train down to Union Station, so we had nothing else planned, except for dinner at Olvera Street, so we waited. Several people left the line after finding out the length.
