Day #1 - Thurs., June 26th: 6:45 AM - Meet your escort at Peoria Charter Coach Waiting Room on the corner of NE Adams & Alexander Streets 7:00 AM - Depart Peoria from your designated pickup location at the time listed on your final confirmation, which you will receive 2 weeks prior to departure. We'll enjoy Continental Breakfast* aboard the coach as we travel south towards our destination. We'll also make rest & meal stops along the way as needed. 4:00 PM - Arriving in Branson, we check into the luxurious Radisson Hotel* where you'll have time to freshen up prior to our evening show. 6:45 PM - We re-board our awaiting coach and depart for Lake Taneycomo - home to the Showboat Branson Belle. Set sail on the voyage of a lifetime aboard the fantastic Showboat Branson Belle. Enjoy a beautiful 2-hour cruise, featuring a delicious 3-course feast & show-stopping performances. (8 - 10:30 PM Reservations) 10:30 PM- Approximate departure time for the hotel. Day #2 - Fri., June 27th: Breakfast Buffet* awaits you this morning at the hotel. 8:45 AM - This morning we're off to the Ricky Boen & The Texas Mud Show*. When most folks hear the term "swing" associated with music, they think of the "Big Band" sound or era, that is if they're from anywhere other than Texas and Oklahoma. But folks from around that part of the country immediately think of one thing when they hear the term "swing" - Texas Swing! What's the difference? Well, like Big Band swing, Texas Swing (or as some call it, Western Swing) is primarily dance music, which is instrumentally driven, and includes some vocals, often from the "front man or woman, plus some harmonies from "side men". The primary difference, however, is that while the Big Band swing sound was driven particularly by woodwind/reed instruments like clarinets and saxophones, along with brass instruments and some strings, Texas Swing is driven by the string sound, predominantly fiddles and guitars. And of course, if you're talking Texas Swing, you're talking twin fiddles! (9:30 AM Showtime) 11:30 AM - Following the show we're off to grab some lunch and get in a little shopping time. 2:00 PM - Gather up your packages and let's re-board the coach to our afternoon show - Yakov*! Only in America can you see Yakov as he explores the "Laboratory of Laughter, takes a turn as the President of these United States, enjoys razor sharp humor with a band of pirates, introduces us to Lady Liberty, takes a spin with a Russian Dance troupe, and more! What a Country - What a Show! (3:00 PM Showtime) 5:30 PM - Dinner* is served at Montana Mike's Steakhouse / Hwy 248 7:00 PM - SIX* (aka The Knudsen Brothers) brings something brand new to Branson. The show has no band and no musical tracks. They use their SIX human voices to create a dynamic performance filled with music from the 50's to the 90's and beyond. Their intense high-octane energy, electrifying stage presence, and powerhouse vocals combine to create a truly amazing & unique entertainment experience. This group is "Awesome"! (8:00 PM Showtime) 10:30 PM - Approximate return time to the hotel. Day #3 - Sat., June 28th: Breakfast Buffet* is once again served at the hotel. 9:15 AM - Dalena Ditto and her All-Star cast give you the Variety you're looking for...Classic Country, 50's, Hilarious Comedy, Glamorous Costumes, Dancing, Show Band of the Year, and the music you love! Relive the hits of "In the Mood, "Unchained Melody, Patsy Cline, Crystal Gayle, Anne Murray, Merle Haggard and much more! (9:30 AM Showtime) 11:30 AM - Just after the show, we're off to find some lunch on your own and maybe a little more shopping time before our afternoon show. 2:00 PM - This afternoon we'll enjoy the dynamic vocal group Pierce Arrow* and one of Branson's funniest comedians, Jarrett Dougherty*. You'll love their smooth harmonies, great country music, rock-the-house Gospel, amazing patriotic medleys, hilarious comedy and sidesplitting humor in one of Branson's hottest shows! (3:00 PM Showtime) 5:30 PM - Dinner* is included this evening at the All American Cafe. 6:30 PM - You're in for a great show tonight at the "new" Sight & Sound Theatre. This evening we'll enjoy an awesome production of "Noah"*. After God reveals to the righteous Noah that a flood will extinguish all life on earth, he charges the man to construct an ark massive enough to shelter his family, any other true believers, and pairs of every species of living creature. Lacking materials, Noah takes his three sons to Nod, a city in decline. The family tries, in vain, to convince their friends & neighbors to join them, and is ridiculed and attacked throughout the decades it takes them to fulfill God's command. Watch Noah & his family try to care not only for themselves while at sea, but for their vast menagerie as well. Experience their stress at being cooped up together for more than a year. When their trying journey is finally complete, marvel at the wonder of God's reward for Noah's unquestioning obedience and devotion to Him. (7:30 PM Showtime) 10:00 PM - Approximate return time to the hotel. Day #4 - Sun. June 29th: Breakfast Buffet* is served once more before we begin our journey home. 8:00 AM - It's time to check out, board the coach and depart towards home after a great time here in Branson.
