After we spent a lot of the winter building a Frozen Orbeez House with 3 million Orbeez, I spent the night in the house. We had an open house for others to see it and did an interview with the Weather Channel in the morning. Here’s the video of my time surviving in the frozen house.
Thanks to everyone who has subscribed and supported Minnesota Cold! We thought we’d do something fun with our YouTube Silver Play Button award.
My friend Chris Smith has been talking about getting me to try snow swimming for years. Last year I finally took him up on his offer. Not sure if I’ll be doing that again. Brrrrr!
Minnesota, it’s so cold that… you can make a house out of Frozen Orbeez.
This was our biggest Minnesota Cold experiment ever. We started building the frame in the fall and finally completed the house after dumping Orbeez into it for 15 days straight. I also spent the night in it after it was built.

Minnesota, it’s so cold that… you can build a house out of bricks made from ice (if it stays cold long enough). I attempted this one two different winters and failed both times. Stay tuned for my bigger and better idea this year!
I attempted this one twice and a stretch of warm weather killed the project both times. This year I’ve got a new idea that hopefully will work well!

1. Across the street from Peter Pan, the Evil Queen peeks out from behind the drapes.
2. Cast members jump from a pontoon and use scuba gear to fix and inspect World of Color.
3. After the fireworks on Main Street, the alley behind the Emporium opens to move the crowd out faster.
4. If you go early to Special Celebrations, cast members give you high 4s as you walk into the park.
5. The lights on Route 66 in Radiator Springs turn on each night at exactly the time of sun set.
6. Every once in a while people get stranded on rides when they break down (and sometimes get compensated!)
7. If you look closely, there are hidden Mickeys everywhere.
8. The private (and secretive) Club 33 doesn’t let you get in very far with a video camera.
9. The Mickey on the Ferris Wheel gets covered with a Mickey shaped screen for the World of Color show.
10. You can get free stuff on big Disney birthdays.
11. Cast members sometimes play jokes on the person who hands them the camera.
12. Disney really likes to play with fire and always ends their shows with a big bang.
