Kung Fu Panda Snow Tubing

It's going to snow again at Gaylord Texan, but this year the experience will feature an eight-lane, downhill plunge that's filled with dragon-warrior awesomeness. Grab a tube (single or double riding tubes for parents with small children) and speed down our extreme hill covered in real snow.

Gingy’s gingerbread decorating

At this fun, sticky decorating tradition hosted by Gingy, the most famous of all Gingerbread men, kids can choose from two different design options to create either a delectable gingerbread cookie family or a complete gingerbread house. After the decorating activity, Gingy is hanging around to give heartwarming hugs that make perfect photo opportunities.
