What did we love about our recent visit to the Titanic Museum Attraction and the new Molly Brown Gallery?

Silver, lace and crystal – oh my! The "Unsinkable" Molly Brown had an interesting life story that you'll enjoy learning about (We did!). This new gallery features intriguing photographs and items that belonged to Molly. Her great-granddaughter, Helen Benziger, chose the artifacts to display and offers personal comments to read about each one. You'll gain meaningful insight into Molly's life before and after her Titanic voyage.

Be sure to look for the movie poster and pale green silk beaded dress from the 1964 movie The Unsinkable Molly Brown. Debbie Reynolds, who played Molly Brown, wore the dress during her birthday celebration party in Paris. It's in excellent condition – on display with a full-length mirror behind the dress so you can see the elaborate bead pattern on both the front and back.

No picture-taking is allowed while you tour The Titanic, but click here to see a photo of the dress from the auction site icollector.com. Trust us, though, the dress is twice as stunning in person.

Visit the Titanic Museum Attraction while you're in Branson. Like us, you'll be glad you did!

We just posted a new announcement – you're going to love the latest update to BransonWorld's Area Appreciation Shows list. Go!

Thank you for visiting BransonWorld!

AirTran Airways, which will be converting to Southwest Airlines through the course of this year, will begin daily nonstop service from Branson (the Branson Airport) to Chicago and Houston beginning April 16, 2012.

Let's get packing!

Good news – is in the air...

Southwest Airlines to serve Branson Airport:

• Southwest Airlines purchased its low-cost competitor AirTran in the middle of last year, 2011
• AirTran provides most of the flights at the Branson Airport
• The good news – Southwest will continue to serve Branson and convert AirTran Airways at the Branson Airport to Southwest Airlines over time
• AirTran is still taking air reservations through September 28, 2012
• Even better – if we see the "Southwest Effect" in Branson, which is when Southwest's arrival in a market drives prices down

This could be good news for Branson/Springfield area travelers. Keep your fingers crossed!

If you are:

• a boy
• age 7-12
• average build
• good at acting and singing
• available for shows April through December at 3:30 pm and 7:30 pm

Then, by all means, get your parents to take you to the Joseph auditions at the Sight & Sound Theatres on Saturday, February 18, 2012!

See our Auditions in Branson page for all the details. Make sure you register by the deadline of February 13, 2012.

Break a leg!

Titanic rhymes with "oceanic," and that's where you'll find us today! We're excited to be among the first to see the new Molly Brown Gallery at the Branson Titanic Museum. Check back later for updates on all the "Things We Love" about our visit.

Have a great day!

Fun fact from January 2, 2012: RFD-TV's parade float in the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, CA featured Dusty, Dustin and the High Riders. They sang Happy Trails to celebrate the 100th birthday of Roy Rogers. The float was escorted by 100 golden Palominos.

Watch this video to see the float in the parade

The Branson Titanic Attraction will be closed from January 16-19, 2012 to make room for a new gallery: The Molly Brown Artifact Collection. It's a brand-new, exclusive exhibit featuring many interesting items that belonged to the irascible, indestructible Unsinkable "Molly" Brown :

• furniture
• crystal glassware from Ireland
• artwork
• photographs
• Titanic memorabilia
• original costumes worn by Debbie Reynolds in the movie The Unsinkable Molly Brown, including the pale-green, elaborately beaded silk gown she wore while celebrating her birthday abroad in Paris
• many more of Molly's treasures that were gathered from around the world to grace the Denver mansion she shared with her millionaire mining husband, J.J. Brown

Hot tip: Visit the Branson Titanic Attraction on Thursday, March 22, 2012 to witness Margaret (Molly) Tobin Brown's great-granddaughter dedicate the Molly Brown Gallery.
