The immersive experience will include the following:
- International live entertainment
- Worldwide food and drinks
- Cultural character experiences
- Activities like an around-the-world-themed miniature golf course
- A 150’ snow tube hill, a candy store, a giant animated Christmas tree and more "unprecedented attractions."
