Second this! We went a few years ago when Peanuts was the theme. Close to WDW too.Not exactly a party, but definitely worth checking out if you have a chance:

"ICE! is back at Gaylord Palms. Don our signature, blue parka and step into a wonderland carved by expert artisans out of two million pounds of colorful ice. You'll see the story of the Grinch in larger-than-life sculptures and even plunge down slides made entirely of ice in this Gaylord Hotels original experience. Presented by Pepsi."
It's been a few years, but my DH & I enjoyed this (and we're older than you, LOL). As I recall there are several nice restaurants in that resort, too.

Please recommend a Christmas party for me and my wife. We are 60.

Sadly they discontinued the parade volunteer opportunities- would have loved to do it. Too many guests refused to follow team member directions and ruined it for everyone. But the universal parks are a wonderful holiday experience...they do a lot.While not a "party", a few years ago Universal had the Macy's Thanksgiving parade in the park, and live concerts. When we went, my wife volunteered to be in the parade, one of 12 people guiding a huge balloon figure in the afternoon, and we got to see Mannheim Steamroller perform that evening. It was pretty awesome.
It is a walk through. And the walk through is through a cold room. They provide "winter" coats for you. It is a pretty cool thing, but just be aware that you have to walk through the cold.Is this a show or a walk through? How long does it last?
I agree. It still requires theme park tickets, so I'm not sure if it fits the OP's criteria, but I would second SeaWorld.I have heard good things about the Christmas activities at Seaworld. Thoughts?
SeaWorld does an excellent job on Christmas. The ice skating show is outstanding (go to the late show and stay comfortably seated for the fireworks).
SW only has one theme park in Orlando.I have never been to SeaWorld but I know that have two parks. Which park has all the Christmas activities?
