Jingle the Elf Recommends

If you plan to take a super Winter Glow adventure and book multiple experiences, our advice is to book them carefully in order. So for example – Ice skating mid-morning, lunch in the Food Quarter, followed by a personalised visit to Santa’s Grotto, then finally head on out on the Illuminated Light Trail.
