2017 Disney Train Car Release – Walt Disney Family Museum

I am so excited to announce the release date of this year’s Christmas car!  Please join us at The Walt Disney Family Museum on Saturday, December 2nd, for a great time and the 2017 unveiling.

 

Barb and I will be there between 10am-12pm and 2pm-4pm.

 

If you have never visited The Walt Disney Family Museum, this would be a great time to see this most amazing exhibit of creative genius.

 

It’s an awesome tribute to the man, Walt Disney, and is  located at the Presidio in San Francisco.

My kids absolutely love the Christmas cars! The C.K. Holiday, along with the Carolwood and Disney cars makes a wonderful Christmas train. It made many a loop under our tree this year.

Just wanted to thank you again for the opportunity to be with you and the many other happy folks who experienced the Feather River Canyon trip.  I know you put a lot of work into making this special trip a reality and it all came together extremely well!

I got my new Santa Fe business cars, they are superb and worth the wait ten times over.

I am looking forward to many more releases in the new year. I stayed up really late on Christmas to talk to Santa when he came by our house. I asked him for an n-scale SP&S 700, and he said that was out of his league and I’d better call you.
