General Silver Dollar City Talk / Week after Christmas crowds

« on: November 12, 2015, 08:39:48 PM »

Does anyone know what the crowds are like the week after Christmas?  I'd like to come for Old Time Christmas, but I don't think my schedule will work out to come on a weekend before Christmas Day, so I thought we might try a longer trip between Christmas and New Years.  Surely, the crowds can't be as big as they are before Christmas, right?

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Spring Break 2015

« on: February 27, 2015, 08:29:30 PM »

I'm possibly going to be at Branson/SDC for Spring Break depending on the weather.  Right now, Accuweather is saying it's supposed to be in the 50s the week of March 18th.  We have season passes so we'll come more than once this year.  I haven't been to SDC for about 4 years. 

Typically we've stayed at the Deer Run because of the shuttle bus to SDC, but it appears to be around $60 a night.  Are there cheaper alternatives?  I've looked at these forums and Classic Motor and Homestay are mentioned.  Although it appears that Homestay is closed?

Also what about shows and activities for kids?  We've generally stayed away from shows because my son is only 8 and just isn't into that kind of thing.  We've seen Ripley's, the wax museum, Ride the Ducks, and Titanic and done the Track and mini golf.  Are there any good, reasonably priced zip line places?  I've thought about the Haygoods show, but tickets are kinda expensive.  Is Branson 2 for 1 Tickets legitimate? 

Thanks
