The gingerbread pirate ship created by the wonderful staff at the Ritz Carlton Amelia Island, Florida beats the most unusual gingerbread houses I have seen. I had an opportunity to speak to the creators and get some insight into how it is made.

Disney Train Tour Video from Coastal Companion
We just had to catch this train before it left Jacksonville. The Disney Train for the movie “A Christmas Carol” just made a short one-day stop at the Amtrak station in Jacksonville. I and thousand of my closest friends found out and we all gathered at the station to take a sneak peek at the 3D movie with Jim Carrey and all the cool behind-the-scenes stuff.
