My wife and I thought we were going to experience a real train ride, moving down the tracks at a good rate, either go to or see on the way something interesting. Not to be. Let me say this, if you are not taking small children with you for the Santa thing, I am extremely confident you are going to be very disappointed. And you will be out a $100 for you and your loved one if you go first class!
You will leave on your trip at the breakneck speed of 20 mph, go by some "enchanted animals" (Drive around your neighborhood for free and I am confident you will see some lit up in the yards), then pass by Santa's village at the north pole, composed of a small lit up area of fronts of mock buildings. Santa boards the train, comes thru cars, and talks to everyone. As he does this, train is reversed and you return at a speed of about 10 mph, no joke.
Bottled water is the only free beverage, beer and wine for a fee available. They call ride an hour, it was really about 45 minutes. On way off of train you are handed a wooden train whistle. There is a rescue bald eagle you can see, at train station area for free, no train ticket needed. Same with museum, it is free. Do the free stuff if you are so inclined, the train ride is a major rip-off. Way too much money for what it is. If you are still crazy enough to go, and the wife and kids have to see Santa, then at least do yourself a favor and not go first class. Again, you are talking about a whopping 45 minutes and you get to get up and go on open car if you like. Plus, there is no break for children in first class, a cool 50 bucks or so after taxes for each person. Break in price is only for coach. You have now been warned, go find some other entertainment.

We are sorry to hear your experience aboard the Magical Christmas train was not what you expected. This short, holiday-themed, train ride is not meant to replace the "daytime" 4-hour excursions that are available as well. Perhaps one of these runs was what you were expecting.
