A Christmas Carol

Disney notified me about the national touring train, "A Christmas Carol". It just so happened to make its stop in Portland the day we took Nicole to the Airport. So I surprised the kids and we went to the train station to see the Disney train. Of course it was all done up Disney style.


Carolers for entertainment while we stood in line. It was a hot day too!

It snowed! They had chimneys that blew snow (soap bubbles) every so often. If you click on the picture of Alison you can see them in her hair.


This was taken inside one of the train cars. Each car was done up with costumes, props, TV screens showing different clips during the editing process, etc. This car was showing how they put the actors in front of a blue screen and filmed their facial and body movements to make the animation more realistic. So cool.


This is a giant inflatable movie house. We got to go inside and watch a 10 minute clip of the movie in 3D. It was awesome. I don't know if the kids will really be able to sit through the movie though. They thought it was pretty scary as they only have "A Mickey's Christmas Carol" to compare it to. Mickey, Donald and Goofy are not as dramatic as these ghosts were. I was in the play in the sixth grade, so I am excited to see it when it comes out this year. Thanks Disney for the fun, FREE event!
