Day #1 - Thurs., July 31st: 6:45 AM - Meet your escort at Peoria Charter Coach Waiting Room at the corner of NE Adams & Alexander Streets 7:00 AM - Depart from your designated pickup location at the time listed on your final confirmation, which you will receive 2 weeks prior to departure. Enjoy a Continental Breakfast* aboard the coach as we travel. We'll make rest & meal stops along the way as needed. 4:00 PM - We arrive in Branson at our first show this evening, the Tall Timber Lumberjack Show where we'll enjoy a delicious dinner & show*. The Tall Timber Lumberjack Show offers something for everyone: Grandma and Grandpa will love the rustic and picturesque look at the American woodsman's way of life; Mom and Dad will enjoy the family environment and the rugged, intense competition; the kids will roll in the aisles at the nonstop comic action; and all will enjoy a juicy rib eye or fire-grilled chicken breast dinner. We've been told that the food, especially the steak, is as good, if not better, than any served in one of those boring, got-to-be-quiet, sit down and behave restaurants. (4:30 PM Reservation) 6:00 PM - Following dinner, we'll depart for the luxurious Radisson Hotel* where we'll check in and have a short amount of time to freshen up prior to departing for our evening show. 7:15 PM - Let's meet up at the coach and depart for the Legends in Concert Show*. We're not sure who will be appearing tonight but we're sure you'll enjoy the variety of singers who will perform for you. These great "impersonators" will keep you guessing (if you close your eyes of course), whether it's the actual star or the Legends star. (8:00 PM Showtime) 10:15 PM - Approximate return time to the hotel. Day #2 - Fri., August 1st: A mouth-watering Breakfast Buffet* awaits us this morning right here at the hotel. 8:30 AM - Pack your tote, apply the sunscreen and board the coach as we're headed to Silver Dollar City* for some "fun in the sun". Silver Dollar City attracts adults & kids alike with their 7-story ride - "the Giant Swing" as well as 100 craftsmen located throughout the park. Lunch is on your own today while here. (9:00 - 2:00 PM) 2:15 PM - Mid afternoon takes us to see one of Branson's newer shows - the Branson Brothers Show*. Don't miss this high-energy, fast-paced show that features the unique blend of harmonies of Jimmy Ponder, Dee Allen and Andre Sheperd. The Branson Brothers show is loaded with talent! Branson's sweetheart Diana Ponder, newcomer Natalie Houseman, an award winning band, and Branson's veteran comedian Terry Sanders. The Branson Brothers will please audiences young and old with their diverse style! (3:00 PM Showtime) 5:15 PM - We've got time to return to the hotel to relax a bit & freshen up before our evening show. 6:45 PM - It's time to head up the strip to Dixie Stampede* for a great evening of "horsin' around".

The main show features 32 magnificent horses, ostrich races, and "Stampede of the Buffalo's" - all this while being served a delicious 4-course dinner*.

Then the outdoor water park features the Eureka Mine waterslide, Hatfield Holler where you twist & wind your way through Hatfield country with the McCoy's lying in wait to douse you with a barrel of water and much more. While here, you can enjoy lunch on your own. (10:00 AM to 2:30 PM) 2:30 PM - You're in for a great show this afternoon 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. (3:30 PM Showtime) 6:15 PM - Dinner* is served this evening at Playtime Pizza where you'll enjoy a pizza buffet along with time for some gaming action. 7:15 PM - Our final show here in Branson will be the Bart Rocket Variety Show*. This new show is sure to add a little firepower to Branson's entertainment line-up through comedy, illusions, magic, music and ventriloquism. Bart has been honing his many skills since the tender age of ten, and has appeared on numerous television programs airing on ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX! Whether you're looking for a quick-paced time of varied entertainment or simply looking for something new to do in Branson, the Bart Rockett show is sure to impress with its family friendly entertainment.
