Other Parks / Disney parks

« on: April 22, 2020, 03:01:04 PM »

I was just reading a article where one financial analys is expecting Disney parks to not reopen until 2021.

Not sure what I think about this. Just putting it out there for information or entertainment. However you take it.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Merchandise Boxes

« on: February 27, 2020, 02:42:50 PM »

Looks like SDC is selling a commemorative box of merchandise for the 60th. According to the website there will be another release later in the year. Sure wish there were pictures. Nothing really strikes me as anything extraordinary though so I am going to pas on it.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Ride wait time App.

« on: July 05, 2018, 04:24:51 PM »

Last weekend I was having trouble with the App in general. It never updated and actually said several attractions were down for the season. The rest were waiting on updates. I updated it and killed it several times but still no luck.
Is the App. even functional ?  I am using the latest version of IOS.  As it stands the App is worthless unless I am missing something.

Thoughts, Ideas ?

Branson Talk / Microbreweries

« on: May 30, 2018, 02:55:44 PM »

I enjoy visiting microbreweries and was thinking about making a trip as a single next week to Branson.  I have been here a lot but just realized that there are no microbreweries in town !  Someone tell me this is not so. I know Springfield has Mothers but come on folks how has this trend passed Branson by ?

In the past I have had trouble finding any place that even carries a good craft beer selection. Reeds Spring Pizza Company has been my best shot so far. So, recommendations on places that carry a good craft beer selection ?

Branson Talk / Uber in Branson

« on: November 29, 2017, 07:19:51 AM »

I saw a couple of news blips that Uber was now operating in Branson. Has anyone used them yet ? Also I was wondering if they ran out to SDC ? Which also brings up the question. Has or will SDC designate a Uber or Lyft designated drop off spot ?

Random Talk / Kayaking in Branson area

« on: June 09, 2017, 01:02:50 PM »

I have never been a lake person even though it looks fun. But, I just recently got a new Kayak. Just wondering if anyone has any experience on either Table Rock or Taneycomo ?  Obviously it would have to be in a quiet cove. Id hate to put in at state park marina or another crowded place. Any suggestions welcome.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Times

« on: November 04, 2015, 07:09:27 AM »

I got the times a couple days ago and there was a little blurb about wanting your Email address this year. It said something to the extent that only season pass holders will get exclusive Birthday surprises and guest ticket offers in 2016 via Email. Maybe a few more perks for those of you who are season ticket holders. Just wondering if they are thinking about eliminating the Times flyer?

Other Parks / Resort available in Gatlinburg

« on: October 02, 2015, 02:23:33 PM »

I am going to post this here if it is OK. Not sure whether selling something is OK or not. If not please delete it. Try it here first since a lot of you go to Gatlingburg also.

I have a 1 Bedroom condo available from May 16 to checkout on May 21st 2016.

I traded into this from RCI and now have found out I have a nephew getting married in Florida that weekend, so I cannot use it.

Looking for $550.00 for the 5 days. I will put your name on the reservation at my cost. I prefer Paypal. Half down and then the rest when I send you the confirmation with your name on it.

Let me know by PM if you are interested.

Other Parks / Universal is going to be like Disney soon.

« on: May 28, 2015, 03:01:21 PM »

With the addition of Harry Potter and the expansion of the parks long with new resort hotels Universal is getting to be a week long affair just like Disney. Now they are adding this.

I had sworn off theme parks for awhile but maybe I will change my mind.
