ICE - Merry Madagascar

The Gaylord Resort here in Orlando does an ICE event every year. This year it was themed Merry Madagascar. Basically what they do is bring in huge blocks of ice that are sculpted into their theme. In the middle of the exhibit are big slides made out of ice that you can go down. We thought it sounded fun...so we went.

They have to keep the conference space super cold so the ice doesn't melt. This is at least a month long exhibit. To maintain a 9 degree temperature, they have freezing cold forced air constantly flowing. They give you these ugly blue coats to wear when you go in. We were freezing, even with our hats, mittens, etc. Cameron was so cold by the time we got to the slide, he refused to go.



The event sculptures basically follow the plot of the movie. Couldn't believe it was all made of ice...really cool.
