I suppose it's too bad that more people our age don't come to Branson without the kids. We always went to CC with or without our kids. Of course, we tend to be night people. We still don't know what to do with ourselves after dinner in Branson. We don't want to just sit and watch a show. We don't want to just sit in a motel room. If we have the kids, we sometimes swim in the pool. But the last few times we've been to Branson since CC closed, we just went to the Landing and walked around. We never purchase much because we have the same stores in Joplin, for the most part. We do enjoy eating dinner at the Landing and then walking.
Tonight on Facebook, it says SDC is open until 9:00. That is awesome! We'd go back to SDC in the evenings if it was open later all the time. I actually liked Moonlight Madness last year, but maybe we hit a good night. We had no wait for dinner (bbq at Riverside Rib House) and a moderate wait for most rides.
If CC was redeveloped as a place for shopping with rides, I'm sure we'd walk around there, much like we do at the Landing. I just don't want to pay for every ride. Maybe a bracelet or something could work. But I don't want to pay a couple of dollars for each attraction. Who want to worry about the cost of each attraction?
Familes go to Disney and other theme parks across the country that stay open later into the evening. I think something could work for Branson to give families something to do after dark. People seem to enjoy go-carts, though it's not really my thing. In the meantime, I guess we'll be the family pushing a stroller after dark at the Landing.
