Ever since I found out they did this last year I have wanted to take the kids! The Thunder Mountain Rail line does the North Pole Express every year. We waited too long to buy the tickets for the day time and ended up going on the night train. The down side is there was no view, but the upside is that Santa rides the train with you at night ( and Mrs Claus). The kids had a blast and Santa went up and down talking to each of the kids. When we arrived at the North Pole the kids got to take pics with the big man in his sleigh and have milk and cookies.
Overall it was fun, cold and the kids loved it. If we do it again next year, I will plan on another time when the other carts are not full of adult Christmas parties. It's not the same when you get off the train to see santa and you have a bunch of drunk adults getting off and acting like children. Kinda ruined the mood. But other than that it was fun and the kids were totally convinced. :)
Aleah played her part well
Thurston telling Santa what he wanted
JoJo doing the same
Santa had the kids come in the back and told them fun Christmas stories. He was a good Santa, and I was not aware that Santa had a Boston accent. :)
In Santas Sleigh. Thurston purposley looks away from the camera when his picture is taken. Cute, but annoying.

Aleah and her cookie
She kept herself entertained with a paintbrush and a foggy window for quite some time.
The had a heated open cart that was kinda fun, but still cold!
