KISSIMMEE, Fla. – A sleigh full of activities are headed to Gaylord Palms Resort this holiday season.
The resort known for its unique holiday experiences is rolling out a brand-new, multisensory marquee Christmas experience — Mission: Save Christmas featuring Elf. Building on the popularity of last year, the resort is bringing back experiences that revolve around the Warner Bros.’s 2003 film, “Elf.”

“Gaylord Palms needs guests of all ages to help save Christmas! In this collaboration with Warner Bros.-themed entertainment, guests will join Buddy the Elf and answer the call from Santa to help muster enough Christmas cheer to power the Kringle 3000 and help Santa’s sleigh fly,” leaders described in a news release. “Guests will journey into Buddy’s world to help save the holiday in a multisensory experience full of fun, interactive challenges perfect for all ages.”
Leaders said guests will come across 12 unique interactive elements including an interaction with Mr. Narwhal and his friends in the Candy Cane Forest, see Santa Claus at the North Pole and even take part in an epic snowball fight in Central Park.
