Don't let my DH see this thread - both the mention of Dolly and Hooters would be enough to get him there

Nice one, Kazzie . . . shame it's not on when we're over there, but for those of you visiting next May, looking forward to your trip reports already

Having got this info a couple of months ago for the book (but been sworn to secrecy ) until it was announced, I can confirm it will be right next door to the Premium Outlets Mall just off I-Drive and it will be a BIG indoor complex, modelled on their two existing sites at Branson, MO, and Myrtle Beach, SC. It is a fun-style family show, with audience participation and lots of Southern style (and hospitality, they promise). The only negative (for those who worry about such things ) is that Dolly has a no alcohol policy, so that means no unlimited beer or wine with the meal, just sodas and coffee. I think it should be a good show, going some way to replacing the Old Wild Bill's show on 192, which I quite liked (only Dolly's will be on a much bigger scale).

Well that sounds really appealing - NOT

I don't think I will add this to my list of 'must do things in Orlando'

 

[kazzie]

Sorry Simon,

You'll have to kill me now!!

Well, dinner shows have never held any appeal for me, but I actually think Dolly Parton is quite cool. Now, this is a <i>really, really</i> stupid question (whatever the answer), but will Dolly herself be performing?

 

[SimonV]

No, it's a good question Deb, but the answer is No! She will be there on May 22 for the opening preview night, though. How do I know? Just ask me. Go on, ask me!

 

[WDWfan uk]

oh dear! Since Debbie is not around I'd better ask you!

Simon, how do you know Dolly will only be around for the preview on May 22nd ?

 

[UKDEB]

Come on, Simon, don't keep us waiting any longer! Let me guess - you're Dolly's understudy?

 

[WDWfan uk]

ROFLOL Debbie ! ( I think he must have gone to rehearsals )

 

[SimonV]

LOL, Deb! No, it's more mundane than that. I've been invited over for the opening, and to met Miss P herself. Can't say I'm a big fan of her music, but it will be fun to meet someone who has this 'larger-than-life' persona, if you get my drift

So Simon I guess it's a stupid question but does that mean that "ordinary" joe bloggs can't get tickets for the opening night - I'm proud to admit that Paul and I both big fans and would love to see this but only if it is Dolly herself.

 

[SimonV]

Sam, the simple answer is I don't know, but I would suspect it is a media/travel trade event only, with invited guests from all the local hotels, etc, in a bid to drum up business for it.
