The biggest surprise of this holiday season (beside's SeaWorld's odd last-minute Polar Express announcement) has been the show Luminescence – A Christmas Fantasy, now appearing nightly at Gaylord Palms Resort.  Pardon the cliche, but this show rocks!

Imagine attending a Christmas-themed rock concert in the middle of the Gaylord Palms atrium.  Don't worry… it's not too over-the-top rock.  Those watching the show are giving it a universal thumbs up — both young and old!

The new show, the brainchild of the hotel's holiday showmeister Aaron Mendelson, has been described as "Christian Rock meets Pink Floyd."  Certainly the abundance of lasers, special effects, and aerial exhibitions prove the point. 

Performed by a talented cast of musicians and vocalists, this is a show remember. (And for those who want to remember it well, the resort even sells a CD of the performance!)
