For the labour day weekend we went to visit friends of ours in Michigan and stumbled upon Disney’s A Christmas Carol Train Tour. You may have heard about the new Jim Carry movie A Christmas Carol expected out in theatres in November. To help promote the movie they’re crossing the country on a train tour. We discovered it at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. The tour still has more stops, though they’re now into the west coast part of the tour.
All aboard the Christmas train
We were able to see some great behind the scene footage, plus costumes and some of Charles Dickins’ original manuscripts on loan from the Charles Dickens Museum in London, England. You could also morph your face into one of four characters from the movie. We’re suppose to get an email when the pictures are ready so we can download them (still waiting for the email for our crazy faces). Then we given a sneak peek of the actual movie.

Ready for the 3D movie to start
I didn’t realize the movie was in 3D. I’ve never been too impressed by many movies done in 3D (though I haven’t seen many) but this was actual quiet good.

The whole train tour is free, but if you do plan to drop by be sure to get there early. We arrived in the morning and had an hour wait in line. It didn’t seem that long though because of the water stops and carolers and movie preview clips along the line. They even had snow and tattoos and punchout ornaments for the kids to take home.
