End of an era for an Orlando hotel

[simpsontruckdriver]

The Peabody Hotel has been sold to Hyatt Hotels. The famous ducks will be retired to a farm.

For those in the Boston area, this hotel is pronounced "PEE-bod-dee, while the city of Peabody MA is pronounced "PEE-bid-dee".

I see they plan to do away with the royal ducks. That's a shame as it is unique & fun to see the ducks in the lobby as well as the private suite they use at night. They say they are "retiring" to a farm, where other, older ducks have also gone, and will not be replaced. Another difference lost to corporate sameness. Too bad. h

I enjoyed my visit to see the ducks more than my visits to the mouse

I wonder what date will be their last walk?

Sometimes progress has no shame.

That is one of our favorite Orlando hotels. Man what a shame. We love the duck walk

I always heard the town name as PEEB-Dee, but I'm not from there so what do I know ?

Here's hoping the ducks really are retiring to a farm & not to a Chinese restaurant.

This Monday is the Peabody Hotel Ducks final march. Come October 1st, the ducks will be retired to a farm, and the hotel becomes a Hyatt.
