June 20 - A Christmas Carol Train Tour

You can see the snow falling here if you click on the photo to enlarge.
There was a make-believe fireplace on the train.This was a make-believe Christmas Dinner from Scrooge too.
Out the windows, they made it look like London with snow falling.Last Saturday we went to the Disney Christmas Carol Train Tour at the Sacramento Train Museum. It was totally free and totally fun! We got to board the train and walk through about 6 cars. We saw the original costumes from the movie, concept art, models, maquettes, original artifacts from the Charles Dickens Museum in London, and very cool special effects behind the scenes sets of how the made the movie. They took each of our photos and morphed our face into Scrooge, Tiny Tim, and the Ghost of Christmas Past. We then went into a movie theatre and saw about 15-20 minutes of the movie in 3D. It was so awesome. Outside, they had light posts around the train tracks and theatre that had snow coming out of them. The train tour is going all over the US.

So you guys did go. Looks pretty neat. Was it crowded? That day was crazy with Annalise's dance recital performances and we squeezed in my birthday inbetween the performances.

It wasn't that crowded. We had to wait in line for 30 minutes before we boarded the train. The wait in line was in the train museum, which was cool because we had never been in the museum before. It made the wait go by faster. It was in SF the following weekend. I guess you guys could have went to the at one.

Last weekend we were in SF but to see Wicked. We took Annalise and she loved it. We decided if it was around in a couple more years we will take Robyn.
