Discounts to Dixie Stampede in Myrtle Beach? - PassPorter - A Community of Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, and General Travel Forums
As of January 1, 2019, we have closed our forums. This is a decision we did not come to lightly, but it is necessary. The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk. The server software itself must be updated, and it cannot be without removing the forums.
So it is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our long-running forums. They came online in 2000 and brought together so many wonderful Disney fans. We had friendships form, careers launch, couples marry, children born ... all because of this amazing community.
Thank you to each of you who were a part of this community. You made it possible.
And a very special thank you to our Guides (moderators), past and present, who kept our forums a happy place to be. You are the glue that held everything together, and we are forever grateful to you. Thank you aliceinwdw, Caldercup, MrsM, WillCAD, Fortissimo, GingerJ, HiddenMickey, CRCrazy, Eeyoresmom, disneyknut, disneydani, Cam22, chezp, WDWfan, Luvsun, KMB733, rescuesk, OhToodles!, Colexis Mom, lfredsbo, HiddenMickey, DrDolphin, DopeyGirl, duck addict, Disneybine, PixieMichele, Sandra Bostwick, Eeyore Tattoo, DyanKJ130, Suzy Q'Disney, LilMarcieMouse, AllisonG, Belle*, Chrissi, Brant, DawnDenise, Crystalloubear, Disneymom9092, FanOfMickey, Goofy4Goofy, GoofyMom, Home4us123, iamgrumpy, ilovedisney247, Jennifer2003, Jenny Pooh, KrisLuvsDisney, Ladyt, Laughaholic88, LauraBelle Hime, Lilianna, LizardCop, Loobyoxlip, lukeandbrooksmom, marisag, michnash, MickeyMAC, OffKilter_Lynn, PamelaK, Poor_Eeyore, ripkensnana, RobDVC, SHEANA1226, Shell of the South, snoozin, Statelady01, Tara O'Hara, tigger22, Tink and Co., Tinkerbelz, WDWJAMBA, wdwlovers, Wendyismyname, whoSEZ, WildforWD, and WvuGrrrl.

We want to personally thank Sara Varney, who coordinated our community for many years (among so many other things she did for us), and Cheryl Pendry, our Message Board Manager who helped train our Guides, and Ginger Jabour, who helped us with the PassPorter-specific forums and Live! Guides. Thank you for your time, energy, and enthusiasm. You made it all happen.
There are other changes as well.
Why? Well, the world has changed. And change with it, we must. The lyrics to "We Go On" for IllumiNations say it best:
We go on to the joy and through the tears
We go on to discover new frontiers
Moving on with the current of the years.
We go on
Moving forward now as one
Moving on with a spirit born to run
Ever on with each rising sun.
To a new day, we go on.
It's time to move on and move forward.
PassPorter is a small business, and for many years it supported our family. But the world changed, print books took a backseat to the Internet, and for a long time now it has been unable to make ends meet. We've had to find new ways to support our family, which means new careers and less and less time available to devote to our first baby, PassPorter.
But eventually, we must move on and move forward. It is the right thing to do.
So we are retiring this newsletter, as we simply cannot keep up with it. Many thanks to Mouse Fan Travel who supported it all these years, to All Ears and MousePlanet who helped us with news, to our many article contributors, and -- most importantly -- to Sara Varney who edited our newsletter so wonderfully for years and years.
And we are no longer charging for the Live Guides. If you have a subscription, it's yours to keep for the lifetime of the Live Guides at no additional cost. The Live Guides will stay online, barring server issues and technical problems, for all of 2019.
That said, PassPorter is not going away. Most of the resources will remain online for as long as we can support them, and after that we will find ways to make whatever we can available. PassPorter means a great deal to us, and to many of you, and we will do our best to keep it alive in whatever way we can. Our server costs are high, and they'll need to come out of our pockets, so in the future you can expect some changes so we can bring those costs down.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your amazing support over the years. Without you, there's no way us little guys could have made something like this happen and given the "big guys" a run for their money. PassPorter was consistently the #3 guidebook after the Unofficial and Official guides, which was really unheard of for such a small company to do. We ROCKED it thanks to you and your support and love!
If you miss us, you can still find some of us online. Sara started a new blog at DisneyParkPrincess.com -- I strongly urge you to visit and get on her mailing list. She IS the Disney park princess and knows Disney backward and forward. And I am blogging as well at JenniferMaker.com, which is a little craft blog I started a couple of years ago to make ends meet. You can see and hear me in my craft show at https://www.youtube.com/c/jennifermaker . Many PassPorter readers and fans are on Facebook, in groups they formed like the PassPorter Trip Reports and PassPorter Crafting Challenge (if you join, just let them know you read about it in the newsletter). And some of our most devoted community members started a forum of their own at Pixie Dust Lane and all are invited over.
So we encourage you to stay in touch with us and your fellow community members wherever works best for you!

I've been searching to find discounted tickets to the Dixie Stampede in Myrtle Beach but have come back empty-handed. Does anyone know of any discount code to use when purchasing these tickets? We're planning on going around July 2nd. Thanks for any help!

I've never seen discounts offered online, but here are a couple of places you can try. Most hotel lobbies will have brochures for local attractions. Many of the brochures have discount coupons (this is how we received our discounts for the Pigeon Forge location). You can also try South Carolina's Welcome Center. They carry the same brochures as the hotels but in greater quantities.

Thanks for the help! I was hoping to order the tickets beforehand so it would be one less expense. There is an option to input a discount code, so I was wondering where to find this code. Oh well...I'll keep searching.
The only discounts you can find for Dixie Stampede are in the discount books at the hotels and Myrtle Beach Welcome Centers. One book has a discount of $2.00 per ticket and one has a discount for $3.00 per ticket. We went earlier this month and on a lark found a $5.00 per ticket discount on a flyer at the Bass Pro Shop store in the Colonial Mall not much farther north than the Dixie Stampede. Unfortunately, the discount ends May 31st on that particular coupon. For any coupon you book with, you must take the coupon with you when you pick up your tickets.
Thanks for the info! Is it better to wait and purchase the tickets the day of the show? I wasn't sure how the seating went...if it was purchased earlier if you were given a better seat. Just wondering... (I guess I'm used to the Hoop-Dee-Doo show in Disney! We had front row seats because I'm so on the ball in ordering tickets early!)
We purchased our tickets the morning of the show. Our seats were up front, but I cannot say for sure that was the reason we got those seats. Dixie Stampede has stadium seating and there is not a bad seat in the whole place.

If you have a choice of where to sit when you purchase your tickets, you may want to think twice about sitting in the first row. I bought front row, center tickets for the first time we went and didn't realize the horses ride right up against the rail. While we were eating, they would kick up dirt from the arena floor each time they ran past. I'm not talking huge clumps of dirt, just a little dirt here and there, but dirt is dirt, and this is Horse Dirt. Once we realized we were eating it, we kind of lost our appetites. The show was really good and I always recommend it to people visiting. I just don't recommend the front row. If you need any tips or info., PM me since I live about 15 miles outside of MB.
I got a AAA discount at the Dixie Stampede in Orlando for $4 or so. I don't think it matters if you purcase your tickets in advance or not to get a good seat. I know during busy periods, tickets may be sold out ahead of time.
You might want to see if you can buy your tickets from AAA directly. I think the Orlando location gives $12 off if you buy the tickets through AAA.
I've never been to the show, but have spent a lot of time in the Myrtle Beach area. One good discount book is "Sunny Day." It's in almost all the restaurants/stores near the entrance/exit. You might find a coupon there - check hotel lobbies, too.
Thanks! It's funny because I found a website (can't remember name of course) where it listed discounts. When I clicked on it, it did give me a couple of them but at the bottom it had another listing that said additional discounts. Well, when I clicked there they had a link to Sunny Day and I was able to print out all the coupons! YIPPEE! And, the best was, there was one for the Dixie Stampede.
