The Perfect Day in Branson this Summer.

I've taken the guess work out of it for you. Want to know what the perfect day IS in Branson, Mo this Summer? Let my family tell you from experience.

 

7am - 8am
Woke up and went to breakfast at Billy Gail's. Get there early people. This place is packed on the weekends but worth it!  My kids love the giant pancakes!! 
This video says it best. 

9am- 11:30pm
Headed over to the Titanic Museum Attraction for our 9am tour. The boys love their time spent here. It's interactive, full of actual artifacts from the Titanic, and we learn something new each time we visit. What a great way to teach our family about Titanic history, while creating memories of our own. The tour takes our family about 2 1/2 hours, so be prepared to spend quite a bit of time here. 


12pm - 1pm
Lunch Time. We decided to eat light for lunch, so we stopped at the Sushi House. Great Sushi and it's fast too. 

1pm - 4pm
My boys are adrenaline junkies, thrill seekers, adventurers. We saw this ride that takes you in a swing 100 feet in the air and couldn't resist. Well, to clarify, they couldn't resist. I was terrified. This is the sky coaster at the Tracks Family Fun Park in Branson, Mo. We laughed, we cried, we wanted to do it again. (By we, I certainly don't mean me. :) )

4pm 
Wardrobe Change. It got warm, so we changed into shorts and decided to reward the boys' courage with Frozen Custard from Andy's. If you haven't tried the new craze that is sweeping the nation, you must! Andy's Frozen Custard is HEAVEN on Earth. They make a Titanic Sundae that is amazing. And BONUS...we ran into a great friend there too.


At the end of the day, we were exhausted. We decided to have pizza delivered and stayed in to watch a movie. All in all, it was the perfect day in Branson, Mo. So...What are you waiting for? Make YOUR plans for the Perfect Day in Branson, Mo. this summer too. I'll see you around town!

Are YOU A Titaniac?

Here is a test to discover if you are a Titan-iac.

Future Titan-iac :)
1. Do you love Titanic history?
2. Do you read anything Titanic related, that you can get your hands on?
3. Have you been to a Titanic exhibit or Museum?
4. Have you dressed as a Titanic passenger or crew member at some point in your life?
5. Have you tried to figure out if you are related to any of the passengers who sailed Titanic?
6. Do you have a collection of Titanic memorabilia?

If you answered YES to some or all of these questions, you are a Titan-iac and for that we salute you.

 Research, Theories, studies, and books - Titan-iacs like us must get our hands on it all. Why are we so obsessed? It was a tragedy of epic proportions and there is so much to be learned about who was on the ship and why the ship sank to the bottom of the ocean. You see, we are passionate about this incredible moment in history and the people who lost their lives. Without us, Her history would die, but with us, we can continue to tell Her stories, so that she and her passengers and crew are never forgotten.

 I think Titan-iac, C.J. Mook, put it best when he said, "I would love to see the Titanic Museum Attraction. It would be my Disney World."

At the Titanic Museum Attractions in Branson, Mo and Pigeon Forge, Tn., we take great pride in telling the stories of the passengers and crew who sailed Titanic. We have spent almost 30 years combing through archives, studying artifacts, and conducting extensive research to make sure that our tours are historically accurate. Our owner John Joslyn was co-leader of the second expedition to the Titanic.  The team spent 44 days at sea and they did 32 dives to the Titanic.  From this expedition John co-produced the first Titanic television shows. He has actually seen HER! Wow. We invite you to come see us and learn more about Titanic's history. Discover the truth and tell others. This will ensure that her Legacy will Live ON and we will expand our wonderful group of Titan-iacs across the globe.

Stay tuned to our Facebook page for a Titan-iac contest. God Speed.

My daughter and me, March 26. She got to meet and chat with the Captain in Pigeon Forge!

If You Love Downton Abbey, You'll Love This....

Beginning today through May 25, 2015, the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina will display the costumes from Downton Abbey. Why is this an important event for the crew at the Titanic Museum Attraction, you ask? Let me explain....

1.  Location proximity to Biltmore: 
The Titanic Museum Attraction is just 1 1/2 hours away from Biltmore.

2. Titanic Connection to Biltmore: 
Photo Credit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biltmore_Estate
There is an interesting connection between Biltmore and Titanic. Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt had booked passage aboard Titanic, but for some reason, decided to head home a week early on Titanic's sister ship, Olympic. However, the couple's manservant, Mr. Wheeler, stayed with the original plan to travel aboard Titanic with the Vanderbilts' luggage. Unfortunately, Mr. Wheeler did not survive the tragedy. An original personal letter written to their estate superintendent stating that they will be traveling aboard Titanic is on display at our museum along with the rest of the Biltmore Story.

3. Titanic Connection to Downton Abbey -
The story begins in April 1912 when the heir to the title of Earl of Grantham, who resides in Downton Abbey, perishes on the 'Titanic'...http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1608844
/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl )

4. Titanic Connection to The Costumes - 
This temporary exhibit will display period clothing from 1912, the year that Titanic set sail.

We consider this a historical, educational event. Why not stay a night at Biltmore to see the exhibit and experience 1st Class accommodations and then head to Pigeon Forge where you can tour the permanent, interactive Titanic Museum Attraction and learn about the people who might have worn this clothing?

TITANIC  Museum Attractions and REGAL PRINCESS
7-DAY, ROUND-TRIP CRUISE ITINERARY
Friday, October 16 – Friday, October 23, 2015
  



Day 1


Overnight Midtown Manhattan Hotel

The tour package begins with your arrival at a select, US Tour’s Midtown Manhattan hotel in the

Day 2


This is a free morning, with time to do some world-class shopping or sightseeing.  At 12:00 noon, we will depart the hotel by motorcoach and transfer passengers to the Regal Princess

Board the Regal Princess

The Regal Princess is a spectacular, new ship. An exciting example of the next generation of innovative Princess ships, from her breathtaking Atrium and Piazza to signature features like The Skywalk, a dramatic glass-bottom walkway, which USA Today calls “One of the Top Gee-Wiz Features at Sea.”
You’ll have the afternoon to explore the decks, locate shops and restaurants, and perhaps share stories over cappuccinos  with fellow Titaniacs!

Titanic Welcome Cocktail Reception and Dinner Party

A welcoming cocktail reception will be held before dinner.  Special arrangements have been made to seat Titanic cruise passengers together in a beautiful, getting-to-know-you setting.

After dinner, we’ll gather for a special reception with the Titanic Museum Attraction’s ship Commander, Captain Lowell.  The Captain is a noted authority on Titanic history and lore and is the author of “Into the Deep,” a best seller.

Titanic Museum Attraction’s  spokes person and historian will join Captain Lowell in introducing our very special guest, Helen Bengizer, the great-granddaughter of Margaret “Unsinkable Molly” Brown.   All three will be part of your weeklong adventure.

Day 3


Titanic - Day at Sea

This is your first full day at sea.  The Regal Princess will not dock until reaching her Halifax, Nova Scotia destination the next day.


Titanic –  Morning Devotion by Captain Lowell

This Titanic event-filled day begins with a Devotion by Captain Lowell honoring Titanic’s Heroes of Faith.  Their stories of hope, courage and redemption are as relevant todays as they were 103 years ago.  Among them, the story of Reverend Harper who wrapped his 6-year-old daughter in a blanket, put her in a life boat, gave his lifejacket to another and spent his last moments comforting lost souls with the promise of eternal life.

Titanic Afternoon Movie –  1958 “A Night to Remember”

This afternoon you’re invited to join Captain Lowell in the Ship’s Theater for a special screening of the 1958 Titanic movie classic, A Night to Remember.  This British film is considered cinema’s most subtle and best dramatization of this monumental 20th Century catastrophe.  I liked A Night to Remember…and admire the film, confessed 1997 TITANIC Academy Award winning Director, James Cameron.

Immediately following the film, Captain Lowell will share his experiences while diving to the Titanic wreck site.  It took him 2-hours to reach the ship, 7-hours to explore the crumbling remains and another 2-hours to resurface.  He brought back a story of unimaginable adventure that he’ll share with you in a Q & A session.

Titanic Evening Gala – “And The Band Played On”

Tonight, following the Regal Princess’ Formal Dinner you’ll be treated to a night of danceable music, provided exclusively for you by the ship’s orchestra.  Hits from 1912 to the jazz age and beyond will keep you swinging and swaying…and remembering, too, the night   Band Leader, Wallace Hartley and his loyal band members played on.

Day 4


Halifax Shore Tour/Fairview Lawn Cemetery

This morning, Regal Princess docks in Halifax, capital city of Nova Scotia. Here, you’ll board a private coach for an escorted tour of the city and a visit to the Fairview Lawn Cemetery where a special memorial ceremony will be held in honor of the 100 or more Titanic victims who are buried here.  Among them, Luigi Gotti, owner and manager of Titanic’s Ala Carte restaurant; Alma Paulson, 29, lost with four children; and Ernest Edward Samuel Freeman, secretary to White Star Chairman, Bruce Ismay.

Most of the gravestones, erected in the fall of 1912 and paid for by the White Star Lines, are stark and stunning reminders of what happened here.

Peggy’s Cove

Shopping and lunch await at Peggy’s Cove, one of Nova Scotia’s most breathtaking, famous and photographed places, home of an iconic lighthouse.  This unique sea beacon perched atop massive granite rocks also serves as a post office. You’ll want to send friends postcards or selfies from this picturesque location.

Maritime Museum of the Atlantic

Before returning to the ship you’ll visit the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.  Here an exhibit  shares the story of Titanic and the key role Halifax played in the disaster.  Some of the most significant artifacts and records related to Titanic can be seen here, including a rare collection of wooden fragments from the ship, a perfectly preserved deckchair and the “Unknown Child’s” shoe.

Day 5


In Port at St. John, New Brunswick

St. John is the only city on the shore of the Bay of Fundy, home to the world’s highest tides.  There’s a storybook quality to this historic town.  Here you’ll be on your own to explore enchanting old town, cultural attractions and natural wonders.  Regal Princess shore tours are available.

Cocktail Reception with Helen Bengizer

This evening, following dinner, our Titanic group will attend a private, cocktail reception for Helen Bengizer “Molly” Brown’s great granddaughter.  This is an up close and personal moment for you to get to know this remarkable woman and to hear amazing stories about her famed ancestor that only she can tell.

Day 6


In Port at Bar Harbor, Maine

This port of call holds special meaning for Titanic fans.  It is here in this Gilded Age Eden that the richest man aboard Titanic, John Jacob Astor first met and later married, his dearest love, Madeleine Force.
This exclusive colony of wealth is nestled on the east side of Mt. Desert Island. Surrounded by Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor features some of the most spectacular scenery on the Eastern Seaboard. This idyllic place was home to the Astors, Rockefellers, and Vanderbilts for over 200 years. There are a number of shore tours available here.

Day 7


 Boston:  Hailed as the “Cradle of American Independence,” Boston is filled with historic sites.  It was America’s first great city.  In the 19th century, she was rightly described as the “Athens of
America.”  Today this city of 800,000 retains its vitality, combining historic districts with revitalized urban centers while remaining faithful to its venerable roots.  It is a city every American should visit at least once.  Follow the Freedom Trail along three of the most historic miles in the country.  See the site of the Boston Tea Party, trace the route of Paul Revere’s famous ride, and stand on the bridge where Minutemen fired “the shot heard  around the world.”  In the old Charleston Navy Yard you can see the USS Constitution, the nation’s oldest commissioned warship.  And there were 15 Titanic passengers connected to Boston, MA.  Hear their stories.


Day 8


Newport Art Museum

Newport, Rhode Island is your final stop.  Here you’ll enjoy many exciting and unique events.  First stop, the world renowned Newport Art Museum with its rich collection of Rhode Island artists’ historic and contemporary art work.  The museum is housed in the 151-year-old mansion built for John Griswold and has been home to the museum since 1916.  Costumed docents, in character, walk you through the displays while providing colorful commentary on the museum’s history.

Lunch With The Astors

Upon completion of your museum tour you’re invited to join costume Madeleine and John Jacob Astor for a fabulous three-course, plated luncheon featuring live music and private moments with your pretend Astor hosts.

Newport Mansions Tour

Following your sit-down with the Astors, you’ll step into a world of exceptional elegance and inspiration in architecture, art, interior design and landscaping that can only be found in the Grand Mansions of Newport.  Here’s where the American billionaires of the Gilded Age lived, looked after by a household staff that would rival that of Downton Abbey.

The Marble House

Featured in this tour is a visit to the Marble House, built in 1892 for Mr. and Mrs.  William K. Vanderbilt.  It was the social and architectural landmark inspired by the Petit Trianon at Versailles.  This magnificent structure changed Newport from an unpretentious collection of small wooden houses to an exclusive settlement of opulent stone palaces.  Find out why Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt purchased tickets on the Titanic and decided to change ships at the last minute.  However, Mr. Vanderbilt’s valet did travel on the Titanic.  Did he make it?  Find out his story.

Farewell Dinner

This evening our group will enjoy a Farewell Dinner in The Crown Grill, one of the ship’s 10 specialty restaurants. Relax and share your thoughts with Helen Bengizer, Captain Lowell and your fellow traveling companions as The Regal Princess sails to New York, and the end of your Titanic adventure.

Day 9

Departure Day

The Regal Princess docks this morning in New York.  Debarking will begin after breakfast.  Groups arriving by coach will have a scheduled pick up time.  Individuals flying home will require airport taxi service to the airport.  If your car was stored at the pier, airport transportation service is available.

"Blown Away"

Our Titanic Museum Attractions are excited to step into the New Year 2015. Why? Because our passion is telling the stories of the passengers and crew who sailed Titanic 103 years ago. However, We don't just say that's our passion; we mean it. We talk the talk and walk the walk.

Our crew members have each attended Titanic University, where they learned all aspects of Titanic history. They spend their free time reading books about Titanic, rehearsing for plays about Titanic, researching the Edwardian Era that surrounded Titanic in 1912, etc. We are dedicated to our passion.
And would you like to know what our favorite reward is for all of this hard work and studying??? When we see a child come into the ship with curiosity and awe who has Titanic in their heart. We know the type. They can't wait to step foot inside. Oh and by the way, they usually know just about as much Titanic history as we do.

This year, 2015 has the promise to spread the history and knowledge of Titanic to the next generation of Titaniacs. We are reaching new visitors who share our passion in their hearts. We love the reminders we get on TripAdvisor, Facebook, and Twitter about these passionate types. Here are a few reviews we would like to share with you. We have shared them with our entire staff.


Our hearts are filled with love and passion and we can't wait to meet more people like you!!
Happy New Year from the Titanic CREW!!!

Discover the stories of the passengers and crew who sailed Titanic, as our crew and interactive galleries bring them to life. We are more than just a museum; we are a Permanent, Interactive Attraction for all ages.

2015 Events

February - Teacher Appreciation Month & Titanic Sweetheart Month

Every February, Titanic Museum Attraction goes overboard to help visitors celebrate their own love stories, complete with everything their hearts desire. From surprise proposals and wedding
engagements
to awesome weddings and heart-warming marriage-vow renewals officiated by our Titanic Captain Smith. All ceremonies can be held on the magnificent Grand Staircase, an exact replica of the original and just like the one Rose and Jack ascended in James Cameron’s TITANIC.
Romance and adventure were in the air when Titanic set sail on April 10, 1912. Twelve couples traveling on Titanic were on their honeymoon , nine in first class. There were also young, brides-to-be sailing to America to start a new life there. Rose DeWitt Bukater, the fictional, co-star in the Academy Award winning TITANIC was among this group.
Experience the power of love during Titanic's Sweetheart Month this February 2015. Join us as we pay tribute to romance and the lasting love of devoted couples everywhere. Our Vow Renewals are held  in elegant style on Titanic's Grand Staircase.
Reservations are required. Our appointment book fills rapidly for this extremely popular event. To keep the romance alive and steer clear of icebergs, we recommend immediate reservations at 800-381-7670.



March - Irish Month/ Titanic pays tribute to the Irish

Hardworking, skilled Irish laborers helped build Titanic in Belfast, Northern Ireland. In fact, many Irish men and women served as crew on her maiden voyage. As a passenger group, the Irish outnumbered all other nationalities on board.
The Titanic Museum Attraction honors the 159 Irish passengers and crew that were aboard Titanic. How do we pay tribute? By simply telling their stories.
