Gaylord Palms Resort is Orlando’s epitome of holiday cheer
While Mickey brings the merry and the Minions bring the mischief, Gaylord Palms Resort is the Orlando resort that captures the heart of holiday cheer. From the moment guests walk into the atrium, the spectacular wonder fills people’s hearts. From locals looking for a night away to the distant visitor, the winter wonderland is a gift that everyone needs to unwrap.
Located near Disney Parks and a short distance from Universal Orlando and Seaworld, Gaylord Palms Resort whisks guests away into a world where luxury meets excitement. While there are many hotels and resorts in the Orlando area, this location is more than just a collection of rooms, restaurants, and pools. It is the setting that makes people think that they are in a special enclave of wonder and delight.
After dropping bags, the vastness of the atrium awaits. During the holiday season, the décor feels like a scene from a favorite movie. Even though there might not be snow falling from the sky, the beautifully decorated trees capture that classic Christmas vibe. Interspersed with the other local fauna, those trees with their decorations capture the wonder of the holiday. Everyone cannot help but smile.
While the atrium sky comes alive at night, the twinkling lights seem to linger till sweet dreams take over. Whether guests dream of sugar plums, another theme park adventure, or just a blissful night of rest, the holiday spirit fills the air and lets all the other cares drift away.
Although the atrium and well-appointed guest rooms are delightful, it is ICE and the chilly escapes that call even the native Floridians to the dare the frigid temperatures. Over a series of weeks, an empty space and blocks of ice have been carefully transformed into scenes that take people’s breath away, both literally and figurately.
ICE has become a tradition for many people. Although the experience is a limited time, the brightly colored ice scenes are more than just sculptures that will melt into memories in a few short months. It captures the sentiment that people celebrate during the holidays. Life is about pure, simple joy. Iconic stories told through ice displays allow people to connect with the memories that have made their seasonal celebrations turn into traditions.
After the final Nativity scene and angel offers a sense of hope and sentimentality, guests can wander around the holiday market and activity area. Whether the kids get out all their energy and parents sip on a holiday cocktail, the afternoon passes quickly. Even if the rest of Orlando might seem like a summer paradise, Gaylord Palms Resort is all about the winter wonderland this season. It is time to let the noise fade and feel boosted by the cheerfulness of the holidays.
