Day 2 – Overland Park to Branson, MO
Arriving in Branson, we’ll head to our first show, the #1 Hits of the 60’s Show, featuring great hits by the Beatles, Beach Boys, Stevie Wonder, Sonny & Cher, Elvis Presley, The Temptations, The Supremes, and many more! Then we check into our home for the next 3 nights before dinner at the Pickin’ Porch Grill. Tonight we’re guests at the beautiful Sight & Sound Theatre for “Queen Esther.” Set in the opulent yet perilous Persian Empire, it 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?

After a breakfast buffet at the hotel, we’ll attend the Down Home Country Show that will get our toes tapping & hands clapping as we step back in time to enjoy the traditional Country classics of George Jones, Dolly Parton, Merle Haggard, Gene Watson and more! After lunch at Papa Grand’s, we go to the fabulous Daniel O’Donnell show! Dinner is served at the Grand Country Buffet before we’ll be “Deep in the Heart of Christmas with The Texas Tenors” – a sensational show designed to bring out that feeling of a traditional family Christmas! Everyone loves their incredible harmonies throughout the year, but the sounds are extra fabulous at Christmastime! Our Christmas spirit gauge will rise even more as we drive through the “Lights of Joy” Christmas light display!

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel, followed by the Doug Gabriel Show, filled with variety, a talented cast, rib-tickling comedy and a terrific ensemble of musicians.

This afternoon we’ll enjoy a cruise on the Showboat Branson Belle where we are privileged to enjoy R&J Exclusive prime Captain’s Row Seating as well as the Captain’s Club Dinner!

Day 5 – Branson to Kansas City, MO
Breakfast is served before we say goodbye to Branson & head north to the Steamboat Arabia Museum. When the mighty Steamboat Arabia sank near Kansas City on September 5, 1856, she carried 200 tons of mystery cargo. Lost for 132 years, its recovery in 1988 was extraordinary! Lying 45 feet deep beneath a Kansas cornfield, the Arabia’s payload was protected from light and oxygen and, thus, was remarkably well preserved. We’ll overnight in Kansas City.
Hotel: Drury Inn & Suites
Included Meals: Breakfast, Drury Kickback
Day 6 – Kansas City to Home
Rise and shine for a great breakfast before we depart for home! Enjoy the new friendships you have made while traveling north to Minnesota with lunch and coffee stops on the way.
