A team of 38 artisans have arrived in Sunny Florida, after a trip half-way around the world, from Harbin, China!
The artisans are in town to dazzle Floridians again with their amazing artistry, as showcased at ICE!, a you-gotta-see-it-to-believe-it holiday attraction, just five minutes from Disney.
The attraction opens on Nov. 14, and it will take the artisans about 30 days to complete the elaborate walk-through "ice village."
