Let It Snow at Nickelodeon Hotel returns with new stage show
The Nickelodeon Hotel, right next to the WDW property, is rightly famous for its waterslides right there in the hotel courtyards (and only open to its room guests). But it has some seasonal events, including the Let It Snow overlay, which returns this year from now until the end of the holidays.
At its core, Let it Snow refers to a holiday overlay of one of its waterpark courtyards. At night, the area lights up with blue Christmas lights. Special "snow" makers whoosh out a steady stream of fake snow from above, giving the area a more holiday feel. There's a large inflatable dry-slide nearby (replacing last year's ice slide) to add extra fun.
There's also a new interactive stage show, Celebrate Nickmas, featuring many of the Nickelodeon TV stars on stage--obviously, wearing seasonal garb!
All of Let it Snow and Celebrate Nickmas are included with the resort; it's all part of what you get when reserving a room at this hotel.
Note: we were invited to a press event for the debut of Let it Snow, which included appetizers and drinks.

New entertainment at Nick Hotel - Bfast, 4D theater, Dora show
The Nick Hotel has recently debuted a trifecta of new entertainment (disclosure: I was part of a press event treated to a breakfast and private shows of the attractions), in the form of a revised character breakfast, a new 3D movie (plus effects, which make it "4D"), and a new live action character stage show.
SpongeBob’s Bikini Bottom Breakfast
The all you can eat buffet at the Nick Hotel has long had characters wandering from table to table, but now they are just SpongeBob characters (Dora and Diego were also present until recently), which means they can do more show-specific songs every 20 minutes or so. Expect plenty of time to meet and take pictures with the likes of SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy. The buffet includes all typical breakfast foods, both hot and cold, and an omelet station where your food will be made to order.
SpongeBob SquarePants 4-D Movie: The Great Jelly Rescue
I've always loved 3D movies in themed environments, and this one goes a step further by including a laundry list of in-theater effects: bubbles, water mist, pumped in smell (of fondue), "snow" (actually soap bubbles), a rumble seat, and a tickle string from under the chair. It's a fun movie with lots of chase scenes - rather manic, actually, and ideal for young boys.
Dora’s Friendship Fiesta
Ideal for young girls, on the other hand, is the new show dedicated to Dora. You'll find the familiar songs and a few faces you know (Boots and Diego join Dora on stage), as well as songs and a few characters from other shows (confession: I didn't know them). The meet and greet afterward is an excellent way to take photos with these characters, since they aren't at the breakfast buffet anymore.
All in all, it's a good re-tooling of offerings at the Nick Hotel. They continue the slime show, the outdoor mass sliming, and the big water playground - really a hotel-based water park - that is the main draw for this hotel.
They are running a special - 15% off if you use the code BLOGGER521 when you book.
