  1. Yay for you!! Finally getting away to have your long awaited Honeymoon. The Welk Resort Branson sounds like the perfect place for your getaway.

  2. I’ve always wanted to go to Branson, I’ve heard such great things about it. Perfect for families, couples and friends. Sounds like the perfect vacation to me.
    Can’t wait to read about your experiences.

      1. Definitely looks like Branson is an awesome place for families. Many of the attractions are very family friendly and actually prohibit dressing provocatively as well as alcohol being prohibited throughout Silver Dollar City. I can totally appreciate that!

  4. I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about Branson recently and it really seems like they are building up a nice line up of tourist attractions there. I can’t wait to hear about your trip!

  6. I’ve seen a lot about Branson lately. Tv commercials and billboards. My parents live in St. Louis, so i’ll look into it more!

    1. Funny enough that’s one of Branson’s biggest misconceptions. I do love country music- but- here’s what ExploreBranson.com says about it-

      While we love and honor our country music heritage, today fewer than half of Branson’s more than 100 shows feature country music. Variety is the best word to describe Branson’s show offerings, with selections including Popular Music, Broadway, Magic, Dance, Rock ’n Roll, Comedy, Big Band, Acrobatics, Irish, and Patriotic. There are shows that feature the song and dance of the ’50s and ’60s, and shows that pay tribute to legendary performers such as Red Skelton, Elvis, and The Beatles. – See more at: http://www.explorebranson.com/media/misconceptions#sthash.WhKJOgIc.dpuf

  9. I’ve driven through Branson Missouri before; but haven’t been able to really check it out! I’d love to go back and do a lot of these fun activities.

  11. Sounds like a blast! I’ve never thought to visit Branson, but I can’t wait to see what you have to say about it.

  15. My goodness! Good for you! I know you’ll enjoy your awesome trip! I haven’t been to Branson before and I actually never have heard of it. Seems like a very fun place!

  18. I have heard of Branson, of course, but had no idea they had that much entertainment. I am very interested in what you have to say about Silver Dollar City. And, really, who wouldn’t want to spend time in the Ozarks?

  19. We’ve never been to Branson, but I think it would make a great family vacation. I would like to take the kids to Silver Dollar City.

  21. I think I’d really like to go! My mom went a couple of years ago and had a super good time seeing all the shows. Your itinerary sounds great too.

  24. I haven’t been to Branson, but I’ve heard so much about it being a great place to vacation. I would like to go to Silver Dollar City if we ever go there!

  25. I have never been to Branson before but it looks like you’re going to have a fun trip. There seems to be so many things to do!

  26. I have never been there but have lots of family members that have. They loved it there and had such a great time. So many great things to do and see. Have a wonderful time on your trip.

  29. I’m due to head down St-Louis in July. It’s going to be my first time in Missouri! Wonder how far Branson is from St-Louis and if they have a Welk Resort there too!

  30. I’ve never been to Branson before. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve been to Missouri!. It sure looks like an amazing place. I’ll have to come back and see what you think!

  32. The first time I heard of Branson was on The Simpsons. Lately I have been reading much more about it and think this would be a place that I need to add to my want to list! Have a great stay and I hope things are so fun for you and your family!

  33. I always used to hear jokes about people who went to Branson. But now it looks like they have some serious and great entertainment options for people and families!

  34. I’ve never been to Branson. I really want to do some traveling, I’ve heard about Branson and some other places being very interesting. sounds like you’ll have a packed itinerary on your trip!

  38. No, I haven’t been yet, but I would love to go sometime. I really want to go to the Titanic museum. That would be so cool!

  40. I can not wait to see the posts from this trip. We traveled through Missouri on our recent cross country move but it was horrible weather so we did not get to see much.

  41. I can’t wait to take my family this July! I am learning more about the area and might vwenture out to nearby towns to explore as well.

  42. I absolutely loved the Titanic museum in Branson! Your ticket is a passport of a real passenger & you find out if you made it or not at the end. Anyhoo, great museum overall about the tragedy.

  43. We are planning a vacation for this July! I have heard so many great things about Branson. I looks like you’re going to have a great time.

  44. Branson is such a fun place. We are too far to visit casually now, but when I lived in Arkansas we loved going there.

  52. We have not been to Branson but have had several people say that love it and the area. Should be a fun time. 🙂

  53. I just went to Branson and had such a great time. Loved the Jonah show you will love it too.

  57. Branson is a gem and we are fortunate enough to live close. If you’ve never been to the Keeter Center at College of the Ozarks right past Branson, you must stop by. It’s a wonder of a campus and has a great Sunday Brunch!

    1. We were so lucky to visit the Keeter Center for lunch. What an absolutely wonderful place! The food was beyond amazing and the campus was beautiful! They were setting up for Mother’s Day when we were there! Looked wonderful!
