Queen Mary’s CHILL

The Fifth annual CHILL event will be returning to the Queen Mary ship in Long Beach once again this Wednesday, November 23, 2016 through Sunday, January 8, 2017! In addition to ice skating, ice tubing, sleigh rides, and visits with Santa, Southern California’s coolest holiday adventure will unveil a new interactive digital experience, Alice in Winterland! Check out my photos from CHILL 2015 aboard the Queen Mary throughout this article! This year the ice kingdom is gone, but the amazing new world of lights is an awesome sight to see!

Queen Mary 2015 – Holidays on the Queen Mary Ship

I am so excited for this Alice in Wonderland theme as it is one of my favorite rides at Disneyland and I have always loved the movie!  It will be so awesome to see the story come to life in bright lights and colors! The newest attraction at CHILL brings an inspired re-imagination of the classic Lewis Carroll story to life through the magic of an interactive and digitally immersive 14,000-square foot walk-through experience. Alice in Winterland features stunning, larger than life lanterns as you follow Alice and her adventure into the Hall of Doors, the White Rabbit’s Kitchen, Mad Hatter’s Work Shop, the proverbial Tea Party, the Hedge Maze and visits from the Caterpillar and the new Queen of Diamonds.

Also, don’t forget to visit the Gingerbread house where you can design your own edible goodness and take a moment to visit Santa and Mrs. Claus in the Claus Cottage. 🙂  This year you can also buy Mad Hatter Hats and White Rabbit ears that interact with the lights in the Alice In Winterland exhibit to show hidden details!  Also, feel free to purchase and stocking and design with a variety of goodies to put on your fireplace at home. While both the stockings and the hats are separate charges, they are pretty cool and enhance your experience this year at CHILL.
