"Our team works on this all year round," said Martha Neibling, from the Gaylord Texan. "There are hundreds of people that spend thousands of hours creating all of this."

40 master ice carvers traveled across the globe to Grapevine to do the elaborate carvings.

"When you're in here you are going to go through 10 different rooms and they are going to show you all of the themes and all of the characters," said Neibling.

Of course, there is more than just the ice carvings.

The Gaylord is filled with millions of lights, gingerbread decorating stations, ready-to-throw snowballs and an ice rink.

This year, the Gaylord team says there is more parking to make it easier to get in and out as well.

They also suggest dressing warmly because the temperature at ICE! stays around 9 degrees.
