Orlando-Area Resort Offers Memorial Day Package for Reality TV Fans

Kissimee, Fla. (PRWEB) May 8, 2007 -- Who needs "Survivor" when you can have an "amazing race" of your own?



Gaylord Palms Resort is giving Memorial Day weekend visitors an opportunity to compete for a treasure of $10,000 in cold cash. The competition, complete with clever clues and challenging puzzles, should appeal to fans of reality television who have sat back thinking "I bet I could do a better job… and actually win the prize!" This interactive family experience, called the Pirates Treasure Hunt Challenge, will be offered May 25-28, 2007.

Pirates Treasure Hunt Challenge is a contest of skill that will give package guests an opportunity to act and think like pirates as they traverse the resort and decipher clues, solve intricate puzzles, and perform other "piratey" tasks. At the end of the holiday weekend, the family who accumulates the greatest number of points during their treasure hunt challenge will claim the $10,000 pirate's prize.

The Pirates Treasure Hunt Challenge room package is $199 per night plus tax and parking. The package, which must be purchased for a minimum of two nights, includes deluxe accommodations, resort fee, a treasure hunt kit, and access to special activities and skill contests related to the Pirates Treasure Hunt Challenge.

"This is not your ordinary Memorial Day Weekend experience," said Kemp Gallineau, general manager. "But then again, we're not your ordinary Florida resort, either."

The Pirates Treasure Hunt Challenge unfolds over two days, and can easily be combined with visits to Orlando's world-famous theme parks and attractions. Some tasks will be appropriate for family members to tackle together, while others will challenge even the most creative of adults.

To make a reservation, or to receive more information about Pirates Treasure Hunt Challenge, call 407-586-HUNT, or visit www.GaylordTreasureHunt.com [GaylordTreasureHunt.com__title__ Memorial Day Weekend in Orlando . Package guests can check into the hotel on Friday May 25 or Saturday May 26. A minimum two-night stay is required. For official rules, guests can visit GaylordTreasureHunt.com/rules .

Pirates have always held a prominent place in popular culture. But due to the success of Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie franchise, these swashbucklers have enjoyed newfound popularity. Since the original installment debuted in 2003, interest in pirates has catapulted.

In addition, hit reality television shows like "Survivor," "Road Rules" and "Treasure Hunters" and movies like "National Treasure" have increased the appeal of scavenger hunts to the family audience.

"Activities such as the Gaylord Palms Pirates Treasure Hunt Challenge are the natural progression of these trends," said Gallineau. "They give families a safe and controlled way to put themselves in the middle of the action while competing for their own treasure - just as they have seen on television or in the movies."

Pirates Treasure Hunt Challenge is part of Best of Florida LIVE!, an ongoing Gaylord Palms exhibition that celebrates the history, events, creatures and habitats of the Sunshine State. Because Spain used the state as a staging area for convoys, pirates played a noteworthy role in Florida past. These pirates preyed upon the treasure-rich Spanish fleets that sailed the waters near Florida. In fact, the state is home to the Gasparilla Pirate Fest in Tampa, a long-running Florida festival that celebrates these infamous visitors.

Gaylord Palms Resort features a soaring 4.5-acre glass-covered atrium that celebrates the best of Florida, including the destinations of St. Augustine, Key West, and the Everglades. Inside the atriums, guests can encounter live alligators and other native creatures, enjoy amazing landscapes, visit innovative shops, dine at award-winning restaurants and participate in on-site entertainment. In addition, complimentary shuttle service is offered to Orlando's world-famous theme parks and attractions.

As people continue to look for new experiences - and to replicate the "once in a lifetime experiences" seen on reality TV - we expect to see more travel experiences that reflect this trend. One such example is the "Pirates Treasure Hunt Challenge" at Gaylord Palms Resort, a Memorial Day treasure hunt with a $10,000 prize.
