ORLANDO (Oct. 24, 2007) - For millions of holiday revelers, going to see "The Nutcracker" ballet ranks as high on the list of holiday traditions as exchanging gifts and baking cookies. This year, Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando has created an immersive and festive new holiday tradition and its first-ever Nutcracker-themed vacation packages.

The colorful parade of characters is followed by enchanting entertainment including a string trio, carolers, a reading of "The Nutcracker" by the grand lobby fireplace, specialty fudge sampling and sales, holiday photo opportunities and drawings for hotel stays and special prizes.
