New Train!

We are very excited to announce the new Desert Express Train addition. Meet the Blue Engine:

The Ostrich Festival Parade

Desert Express Train's Annual Tradition.

First of all, we'd like to thank Chandler Chamber of Commerce for allowing us to participate in the parade, as well as making everything go smoothly to ensure everyone is having fun. Even though the skies threatened to rain the entire time, everyone was in great spirits! Best of all, it did not rain on our parade :)

Second, we'd like to thank our families for participating. They have done everything from decorating the train, to taking photos and videos, to smiling and waving the entire time during the parade. We couldn't do this without them!

Here are some of the photos that "Papa" took during the parade. He did a great job second year in the raw depicting everyone else's contribution to what can only be called a Successful Event!

Chugging Along

Feeling so blessed as we wrap up our first year of giving train rides. 2013 has been full of blessings and reasons to celebrate. We are so incredibly grateful for all of our customers and supporters. Desert Express Train would not be successful if it weren't for you!

Every smile, every compliment, every satisfying experience, and even every suggestion for improvement, are the driving force behind Desert Express Train. Thank you for keeping us going, and laying down the "tracks" for our future!

We are excited about the New Year and all the experiences it will bring. Please look for new event and birthday packages, additional services, sponsorship opportunities, and specials that are coming in 2014.

May your dreams come true in the New Year and may you be surrounded by joy and happiness! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ~ The Myers Family

Christmas Caroling

Busy weekend ahead! We hope everyone has some fun things planned with the family. Our next stops include Johnson Ranch Community Festival, Carebear Preschool, Eduprize Schools,Polarfest and a few birthday parties. If you're interested in Caroling on the train during week nights, please contact us - this year we have our own sound system, so singing along should be easy! Not into Caroling, how about just looking at lights and listening to music instead?

Thank You!

Super Expo at WestWorld of Scottsdale

This was a bittersweet event as we were missing the very person that made it possible for us to be there. Leanne Hunt, the owner of Everything Kids Fest, tragically passed away just a day before this event. Jyl Steinback, the owner of the Shape Up US, a non-profit organization, Leanne's assistant Julie, and all the vendors did their best to make sure the event was a success.

Here are the highlights from us:

Engineer Nick helps Princesses and Mrs. Potts set up their tent.

Yeah, their costumes win!

Rapunzel and Snow White ride the train.

Kaitlyn is enjoying the time with a wonderful princess.

The clown next to me is "Tickles".

Howler teaching me the clapping steps,

I had a hard time paying attention :)
