ITINERARY

Day 1, Tuesday, Nov. 16th –Your flight this morning takes you from Salt Lake City to Kansas City, Missouri and your adventure continues into Ozark Mountain Country. Dinner is included each night for the next four evenings along with a delicious breakfast buffet each morning! A surprise awaits you one of these evenings…keep on the look-out!

Kick-off your excursion with PRESLEYS’ JUBILEE and four generations on stage with non-stop entertainment, featuring country favorites, southern gospel and hilarious comedy! It has been said that when you come to Branson, Presley’s’ show is an absolute must (no relation to Elvis). They were the first to open a show on the famous Branson Strip! (D)

Day 2, Wednesday, Nov. 17th – Following your included buffet breakfast, kick-start your morning with Utah’s own HUGHES BROTHERS as they present the world’s largest performing family! Where else can you see a 15-year old yodeler, nine young violin virtuosos, three little tots who bring the house down with their medley of 1920’s songs, and 8 toddlers who don’t miss a beat? Don’t miss this family filled with entertainment

Fast becoming a Branson favorite, DANIEL O’DONNELL returns this year after a sold out crowd in 2009. As seen on PBS, Daniel brings a little bit of Ireland to us singing a host of cherished Irish and American Classics. He also reminds you of favorite tunes from early Rock ‘n’ Roll to Country Hits, from Gospel to Pop. And all with an Irish twist! Join us for a super fun afternoon! (BB & D)

What happens when you get DEBBY BOONE & the GATLIN BROTHERS together in Ozark Mountain Country? Answer: An evening highlighting Debby’s overnight hit with ‘YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE’ and the Gatlin boys with ‘HOUSTON,’ & ‘ALL THE GOLD IN CALIFORNIA’ & many more hits from both! Sure to be a magical musical evening you won’t want to miss! (BB & D)

Day 3, Thursday, Nov. 18th – After your included breakfast, it is on to TWELVE IRISH TENORS! Combine twelve of the finest tenors singing songs from pop to opera and Irish folk songs to 

jazz in perfect harmonies. Their magical Irish charm has won them legions of fans worldwide in many delightful performances. 

This afternoon, sit back and enjoy an area tour highlighting the College of the Ozarks, Point Royal, and lunch on your own in fun-filled Old Downtown Branson which also features Dick’s Five & Dime Store. Remember them? 

Tonight, Dolly Parton’s DIXIE STAMPEDE DINNER SHOW is a fun-filled, action-packed extravaganza! You never know what you’ll see at the Dixie Stampede, but it is always a thrill and excitement fills the air. Horses, magical special effects, a friendly rivalry, beautiful Southern Belles, and a four-course meal and show of a lifetime – all for your enjoyment!

JIM STAFFORD is celebrating over 20 years in, and following dinner, you will understand why he has lasted so long! The show is funny, the music great and everyone has fun! Jim and Ann’s two children, Shea and G.G., are part of the show and they love it! Some of Jim’s crazy segment highlights include ‘That’s What Little Kids Do,’ and his chart topper ‘Spiders & Snakes.’ There is nothing like it and you don’t want to miss it!

Day 4, Friday, Nov. 19th - Toe-tappin’ fun starts your morning with the high energy of SPLINTER MIDDLETON who started his career in Branson 24 years ago basically as a kid. A perfect way to kick start your day is with his contagious love for country music, signature voice and warm laugh! With an incredible cast of singers and pickers, step back in time to enjoy the classics of such greats as Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings! Your morning will fill the air with dynamic singing, side-splitting comedy, powerful gospel, barn-burning bluegrass and down home fun! 

This afternoon, an orchestra of human voices known as SIX combines the musical showmanship and boundless energy of six remarkable brothers! Six voices – zero instruments - all music, and a genuinely magical and almost unbelievable experience that is SIX! They have performed with such greats as the Beach Boys, Bob Hope, Rod Stewart. Barbara Mandrell, Crystal Gale, and the Osmond Brothers! This is a show not to be missed. 

Tonight, following dinner, sit back and enjoy the wizardry of SHOJI TABUCHI and his magic violin. Success was not immediate for Shoji, but he has fiddled his way into the hearts of thousands of loyal fans with amazing grand productions. After leaving Japan, he eventually ended up in Branson, and we at Hyde’s fondly refer to him as “Mr. Branson”. Again, we say, don’t forget to check out the restrooms - a production of their own. Billiards, anyone? (BB, D)

Day 5, Saturday, Nov. 20th – Following your included breakfast buffet, your travels take you back to Kansas City and return flight to the Salt Lake International Airport. Time permitting, stops will be made at the famous Bass Pro Shop and Precious Moments. Once again fun and games on the coach makes time fly! (BB)
