Myrtle Beach 2006

The show is a tad bit boring, so the kids will love it, but the adults are not that amused. There is a pre-show which is very good, the person performing there, does a very good job. There is also a stable for the horses, so the kiddies can view the horses prior or after the show.

Children under 3 are free only if they sit in a parent's lap and eat from their plate. For the kid to receive a seat or a meal they will have to pay for it (regular children's admission).

The food at the show is very expensive. Mainly snack items, but still overpriced. This is not a dinner show. The costume, lighting and music are superb. This is a great show for the children. They will even stay up late to watch it; it's a two hour show, with the show starting at 8 PM.

They have a HUGE bar (two of them); drinks are expensive, though, especially if you want to buy their special cup. The show is about a little over than an hour. They have vegetarian food, which is somewhat limited. They apparently couldn't make a vegetarian soup. Kiddies are free if under 3, and they sit on your lap. They'll give the kid separate sitting (booster chair), but won't give 'em food.

The horse show is great and unique. I wish it had a person riding two horses at the same time, which the Dixie Stampede had. The battle and the plot are very interesting. The audience is involved with the show, and it's not as boring as Dixie Stampede.

I went there recently on a family vacation and have gone previously as well. Make sure you don't get oceanfront, as the flooring on the first floors is really bad. My dad the Civil Engineer/Project Manager found code violations in his hotel room, with the bedroom not having any windows. We had a water leak when it rained coming from/behind the A/C unit. It was pretty big but bearable after we put all the towels down and moved everything away from that area.

The best thing is that when we complained, they gave us $50 off, two days of free breakfast for the entire family at their restaurant (46-item buffet), and four coupons for free drinks at the lounge on their site. I think they are really good at keeping the customer happy, because there is always something going wrong.
