Restaurant Update - Dolly's Parton's Dixie Stampede Orlando has closed!

Found out today that Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede Orlando location suddenly closed this weekend! And, I had just did a recent (very recent) review of the Christmas show here. So what was the cause of the sudden closure? Was the business doing badly? Was it for health inspection reasons? Nope, it was money. Apparently Dolly and her company were offered a boatload of money for the prime real estate that the Dixie Stampede sits on, with its prominent view of I-4. In fact, the company said they had their best Christmas season yet. Reports say that the Dixie Stampede will return to Orlando, they just have to find a new location. We'll see.

we herad in april that they closed as the show could not compete with arabian nights and just didnt have enough money.Surely if you are doing so well despite good christmas etc, you dont just bale out because the offer for land is so high, and then leave it empty from january to may at least.!!
