Day 1 Kansas City, MO
As Christmas quickly approaches, we are excited to be celebrating the season with a fun trip filled with music, laughter and fun in Branson! We will spend this first day getting acquainted with our fellow travelers as we travel to our overnight destination of Kansas City, MO.
Day 2 Branson, MO
We will depart our hotel this morning and travel to Branson making a stop for lunch on your own along the way. Upon arrival, we’ll see the world-renowned successful and beloved country entertainer from Ireland, Daniel O’Donnell. Enjoy many Christmas songs and countless other festive songs from across the decades. We'll check-in to our accommodations at the Grand Oaks Hotel in Branson and have an included dinner before our evening show, Queen Esther at the Sight & Sound Theater. Set in the opulent yet perilous Persian Empire is a captivating tale of beauty and bravery. Esther’s ordinary life changed forever when she was taken through the palace doors, entering a new world of royalty and risk. With a crown on her head and a secret in her heart, can she find the courage to trust in God’s plan and believe that she was made for such a time as this? Experience one of the most riveting Bible stories of the Old Testament as it comes to life with magnificent sets, special effects and live animals. (B, D)
Day 3 Branson, MO
Today we will tour the College of the Ozarks, a private Christian college. The institution provides the opportunity for full-time students to work at one of more than 100 campus jobs or industries to help pay for part of their tuition. The remaining portion of the students’ expenses is covered through scholarships provided by gifts and contributions from donors. This afternoon we'll board the Showboat Branson Belle which includes a delicious lunch and live entertainment show. There will be plenty of time to sit back, relax and enjoy the scenic views as we cruise Table Rock Lake. Dinner is included later this evening before taking in the Pierce Arrow Show. Afterwards, a drive through Branson’s famous Christmas Lights Display will complete our evening. (B, L, D)
Day 4 Kansas City, MO
Our day begins with a morning show, The Sander's Family Christmas. Putting the lighthearted and lovable Smoke on the Mountain family, the Sanders, back in their favorite place - small town North Carolina’s Mount Pleasant Baptist Church - bidding a sad, but proud, farewell to their only son. As the nation recovers from the Great Depression and World War II begins, Dennis has become a Marine and will be shipping out to serve his country. To wish him well and lift the spirits of the faithful congregation - that would be ‘you’ and the rest of the Branson audience - the Sanders Family is spearheading the annual Christmas celebration for their beloved church. With the help of their leader, the capable Reverend Mervin Oglethorpe, who makes ends meet with a part-time pickle plant position, they’ll put on a righteous and rousing good ole time of a show, complete with inspirational hymns and uplifting Christmas carols. We will depart Branson afterwards and make our way to Kansas City, Missouri for our overnight stay. (B)
Day 5 Home
Today our travels take us back home. We wish you all a Merry Christmas! (B)
