Polar Express Train Trip 2008, Bryson City, North Carolina

I couldn%26#39;t believe how lame this was! We brought our whole family there. We are from Texas, so we flew to Charlotte, picked some family there, and those who flew in from DC and drove the 4 hours.

We stayed at the Hemlock Inn, which was lovely, but the train ride was horrible. One of the seats collapsed, the hot chocolate was awful and this was the exact comment from one of my grandchildren as we pull up and stop at ';THE NORTH POLE';: ';MIMI, WHAT ARE ALL THOSE CARS DOING AT THE NORTH POLE';?

I looked out the window and there were a dozen or so cars waiting to cross the road!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had gone all out for this one, including designing matching sweatshirts for everyone that said:

';The Polar Express, 2008';.

We had taken the Williams, Arizona trip a few years back with our other grandchilden that live in Phoenix, and thought the experience was wonderful.

Bryson City was anything but!

Unfortunately for those grandchildren that were of the age where ';believe'; was on the fence, this trip put them on the WRONG side of the fence.

I%26#39;m sorry you had a bad experience. I%26#39;m very protective of my children%26#39;s belief also, wanting to maintain that innocence as long as possible. However, my kids knew this was just a train ride in the mountains, and we weren%26#39;t really going to the North Pole.

I%26#39;ve written a review of our experience on the GSMR%26#39;s Polar Express excursion here:

We enjoyed the entire evening, but to each his own.
