HOLIDAY CARRIAGE RIDE QUESTIONS

WHERE IS HIGHLAND PARK VILLAGE LOCATED?

Highland Park Village is located at the intersection of Mockingbird Lane and Preston Road in Dallas. For a map and store listings, please visit Highland Park Village.

WHERE DO I PARK FOR MY RIDE?

Parking is available inside Highland Park Village with additional parking located across from Highland Park Village on Mockingbird lane. Parking lot entrances are located on both Douglas Ave and Mockingbird lane.  For your convenience Highland Park Village offers complimentary Valet parking.

CAN I BRING SOMETHING TO EAT/DRINK ON MY RIDE?  WHAT ABOUT BLANKETS?

You may bring food and/or beverages however, please be aware, that the ride may be bumpy at times. Lids are recommended for all beverages.  There will be several blankets to keep you cozy on the carriages, but feel free to bring your own as well. 

WHAT IF WE HAVE A LAST MINUTE GUEST?  CAN WE BRING THEM ON THE RIDE WITH US?

Maximum vehicle capacity is either the total number of passengers the vehicle is permitted to carry, or the vehicle’s maximum weight capacity (average passenger weight of 177lbs x number of passengers permitted), whichever is greatest. The maximum vehicle capacity must be strictly adhered to, not only for your safety and the safety of the horses, but because it is the law. If you arrive with more passengers than the vehicle’s maximum capacity, we may not permit all the guests to ride. 

DOES THREEJAYS GUARANTEE HOMES ON THE ROUTE WILL ALL HAVE LIGHTS DISPLAYED?

Threejays Carriages does not guarantee holiday lights or decorations.  Displaying lights is strictly up to the homeowners within the neighborhood.

SHOULD I TIP OUR DRIVER?  IF SO, HOW MUCH?

GRATUITIES ARE NOT INCLUDED in your reservation purchase, but are an add on option at the time you book your reservation. Traditionally, an appropriate gratuity amount is 15% – 20% of the ride’s cost, based on the excellence of services provided.

WHEN WILL YOU CHARGE MY CARD FOR THE RESERVATION?

Upon completion of your reservation, you agree that your credit card will be charged for the full value of the reservation immediately.  

WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS OR SNOWS?

Texas weather is unpredictable and Threejays Carriages may have to cancel reservations due to unsafe weather conditions. Although the weather may appear safe for carriage operations during your specific ride time, we have to consider the weather for the entire night, as well as the safety of our horses, drivers and out of town guests. If weather is inclement and your ride is cancelled by Threejays Carriages, Threejays Carriages will make every effort to communicate the cancellation based on the contact information you provided when establishing your reservation, and therefore is not responsible or liable for the inability to contact customers at any number/email that is not correctly listed in the reservation. If you choose, your booking can be applied to a reservation next year, otherwise automatic refund will be issued for all reservations for that evening; please allow 3 to 6 weeks for your bank to post the refund to your account. No additional refunds or credits will be given due to any inconveniences. Additional reservation times MAY be available to provide the option of rescheduling your ride. Details informing you of whether or not you will be contacted and provided with an opportunity to reschedule will be included in the cancellation email you receive, so please read it thoroughly.

HOW DO I GET MY HOLIDAY PHOTO I PURCHASED?

If you purchased a Holiday Photo, one of the photographers from Admire Productions will be on hand to photograph you and your guests once you board your vehicle. Your digital photo will be sent to the email we have on file, and you own the rights to it. Share with as many family and friends as you like. The photographers are on site each night so the opportunity to add on a photograph to your ride will usually be available at the time of your ride as well, in case you did not pre-purchase a photo.
