Silver Dollar City (8 of 10)
We woke early on Saturday, knowing that we had to get an early start. The condo wasn't far from Silver Dollar City, but even arriving a half hour before opening, there were already many people there. They have a huge parking area, and like everywhere else, most of it wasn't level. At different locations throughout the parking area, they had shuttle stops where you can get on a kind of bus to take you to the front gate, instead of walking. We parked near one of these stops, boarded the bus, and soon were entering the park.
The first thing we did was to treat it like a maze and picked a direction to go and start exploring. We turned left.
There was lots to see, many shops to look in with stuff to buy, plenty of places to eat different kinds of food, Christmas decorations everywhere, and many activities.
Destiny saw a booth where they were making wax hands. There was a cost, but I don't recall how much. Because we still had all day in the park, the booth offered a service to have the hand delivered to the park gate for us to pick-up on the way out.
We found a fun house with unlevel floors, upside down rooms and crazy mirrors.
After walking around and exploring for a while, and having some expensive hamburgers for lunch, it was finally time for our first show of the day. The shows were included in the amusement park ticket, but I purchased a special pass that allowed us to skip waiting in long lines. We arrived only one minute before the show, and was escorted directly to our reserved seats front row center. The show started as soon as we were seated.
I didn't get a video of the show, but here is a video of the show someone else posted on YouTube:
The show was absolutely fantastic. Next, we had to cross to the other side of the park for our second show. Again, we arrived only one minute before it began, was escorted to our front row center seats, and the show began.
We enjoyed the second show also.
We finished the afternoon checking-out the rest of the park and after I got something to eat; Destiny wasn't hungry; it was time for two things, the lighting of the huge park Christmas tree, and our lantern tour of Marvel Cave. I will make a separate post about Marvel Cave.
