Orlando-Area Resort Introduces Marriage Proposal Package Guaranteed to Cause Cold Feet Nine-degree ICE! attraction features inventive holiday packages for marriage proposals.

KISSIMMEE, FL (July 30, 2008) – Cold feet, indeed!

Leave your marriage proposal to the staff at Gaylord Palms Resort and they’ll practically guarantee “cold feet,” when the proposal is made inside the resort’s amazing holiday ICE! attraction, hand carved from two million pounds of ice.

Yes, ice… in Florida!

The proposal, which will be captured by a professional photographer, will take place inside the attraction’s heart-warming “winter wonderland” scene, a romantic tribute to a winter morning in the forest. The ring presentation will be held on the scene’s romantic ICE! bridge that spans a tranquil ice pond – all carved from crystal clear ice. Tranquil deer and other forest animals, artfully carved from ice, will bear witness to this special occasion!

After the memorable proposal, the newly engaged couple can “take the plunge” down one of the attraction’s ice slides, also constructed from blocks of ice.

The ICE! Proposal Package, which retails for $199, includes priority entrance for two to ICE!, a souvenir photograph of the proposal, and a 2008 ICE! Christmas ornament.

The ICE! Deluxe Proposal Package, retailing for $450, also includes souvenir martini glasses and a special ICE! carving placed inside the attraction with the message “Will you marry me?”

Package add-ons include carvings with a custom message, and private “exclusive” proposals.
