ICE at Gaylord Palms

I really want to see ICE at Gaylord Palms next December (during MF ~ that's why I'm posting here) but I won't have a car. Any advice on how to get there? If taxi ~ anyone have an idea on cost? Has anyone seen it? I heard that it's a holiday "must see".

We haven't seen it, but I managed to find the installment about ICE in Cheryl's TR from last year. Not sure what the best mode of transportation would be to get there; I do know it isn't that far from WDW property though.

Hope this helps!!

We went a couple of years ago and it was amazing. I can thoroughly recommend it, but do dress up warm - it is literally freezing in there. We drove over there (and the parking was extortionate), so I can't help with how to get there.

I did go and re-read Cheryl's TR that included their visit to ICE. I've heard so much about it on a few of my favorite podcasts. It's on my list but after reading about the parking fee I'll take a taxi instead.

We had rented a car and parking cost $13!!!! for an attraction that literally takes you 15-20 minutes to walk through. I'd say you'd benefit from taking a cab...or splitting a cab! But short of doing that or renting a car, there are no scheduled bus stops at the Gaylord Palms.

It is a must see, but parking is expensive. Taking a cab is the best way if you don't have a car

I'm with you - you would think parking would be free to guests, but I don't know that.

Well, I called Gaylord Palms last night to ask about that very thing. I am researching, because I really want to see ICE.

And...

IT IS NOT FREE. Regardless of if you are a guest or not, if you have a vehicle you are subject to pay the $13 parking fee. Which I think really stinks.
