TENTATIVE ITINERARY:

Day One - Tuesday, November 10, 2026: Board your luxury motor coach and depart for Lancaster PA where you will check in to The Eden Resort & Suites. This world class resort boasts two restaurants and cocktail lounge on premises, three pools, including large indoor heated pool with whirlpool spa. After time to freshen up, head to Bird in Hand Restaurant for AN INCLUDED Dinner Smorgasbord. Good food has been a tradition with the Smucker family since their great-grandparents first moved to Bird-in-Hand at the turn of the century. The Bird-in-Hand Family Restaurant takes the tradition of home-cooked recipes to an all-new level with their recently expanded facility. Enjoy a tempting selection of entrees such as fried chicken, baked fish, beef pot roast, baked ham, roast turkey, pork & sauerkraut, fried shrimp, vegetables and other delicious foods. Includes soup, salad & bread bar, dessert bar and beverage.

After, it is a performance of The Christmas Rush at Bird-In-Hand Stage. All she needed was 3 more hours, 2 more gifts and 1 small miracle! Recently widowed salesgirl Alice and her daughter Katie are desperately seeking the one thing that makes Christmas. . . Christmas! Down to their last dime and last hour, they hatch two secret plans that put them on a collision course with disaster than only a Christmas Eve miracle will solve. But time is running out!

Day Two - Wednesday, November 11, 2026: Enjoy an included Buffet Breakfast at the hotel before departing to meet your STEP ON GUIDE for the STOCKING STUFFER TOUR. Enjoy a guided tour of the Amish countryside with stops at authentic Amish stores. At each stop you will receive a gift to fill your stocking!

Lunch is on your own this afternoon at Casey Jones RestAURANT. Join us in our two original P-70 80-ton dining cars that once rode the rails of the Pennsylvania Railroad in the early 1900's. Whether your appetite is as big as John Henry or as small as a nugget of coal, we offer fresh, fun and affordable dining that won’t leave you disappointed. Enjoy jaw-dropping PA Dutch farmland views from the rail cars.

After lunch, experience the American Music Theater and a performance of Winter Wonderland. Step into the magic of the season with Winter Wonderland, American Music Theatre’s 2026 Christmas show! From a charming Bavarian village to the festive North Pole, this dazzling production features stunning sets, gorgeous costumes, and live performances of your favorite sacred and secular holiday songs. With our sensational cast, live orchestra, and even a visit from Santa, it’s a joyful experience for the whole family—and a holiday tradition for all!

This is followed by the PLAIN AND FANCY HOLIDAY FEAST before returning to the hotel.

Day Three - Thursday, November 12, 2026: After Breakfast at the hotel, travel to the Wolf Sanctuary of PA. A treasure awaits you on 22 acres of natural woodland in the heart of PA Dutch country, home of the Speedwell Wolves. This habitat is a refuge for Wolves who have found themselves without a place in the natural world. You'll be amazed at the Wolves and captivated by each of their stories. It has been said that "the best wolf habitat resides in the human heart." Perhaps it is also true that the best habitat for our own wildness resides in the heart of the Wolf. Observe the Wolves and their culture, learn about their plight and find a place in your heart for each of them on this fascinating and educational tour.

Shady Maple Restaurant is the final stop. Discover the experience of dining at Lancaster County's largest smorgasbord featuring 200 feet of deliciously authentic Pennsylvania Dutch cooking.

With a full belly, board the motor coach for home!
