Ducks at The Peabody Hotel in Orlando

ducks at the Peabody Hotel Orlando

I was attending the CRS Sell-a-Bration in Orlando back in 2011 being held at The Peabody Hotel.

A popular daily event at the hotel was the march of the ducks on a red carpet to this massive fountain in the lobby area. Kids and adults always gathered to enjoy the fun, and the ducks knew just what to do when they arrived by elevator.

Alas, the hotel ended the Duck March in 2013 when the hotel became a Hyatt, but it still takes place at the Memphis TN location.

Well we know who's boss regardless of who owns the hotel! How could they possibly deny something so special anyway. It's great public relations and exposure.

Hi Jeff - I've read about the Peabody Ducks - what a fun thing to see. I wish I could get the ducks on our lake to do that.

Debe Maxwell, CRS - we know the answer to that. I guess the Hyatt was not interested in them conveying!

George Souto - they KNEW they owned the place!! Everyone was there to see them!

Perhaps if you try the right treats Dick Greenberg . Maybe the Peabody Hotel in Memphis could provide some coaching!

Your comment to Debe made me laugh out loud. I got a deal done last week because the buyer promised the seller to let the neighborhood stray in the house in bad weather. My seller couldn't capture and take the cat because the assisted living place wouldn't let her.

We use to stay at the Peabody Hotel in Orlando and kids loved the ducks.

Good luck and success.

Tammy Lankford, Good for you! That's a neat story!

My Mom talked with the buyers of her home 3 years ago about taking care of the feral Tom Cat that had been hanging around for years - they thought it would be great fun for theirkids!

I didn't know they had the same parade in Orlando. I had seen the Memphis parade hears back. Most impressive. I believe there was a duck in the Peabody logo

Hi Lou

I've met a lot of people who knew about these ducks and had been there at one time or another. What history, and fun!

Good morning Jeff. I think the feds should look into this. Who knows in a decade or two they may come up with a solution.... Maybe protesters, because the chain is violating the ducks rights to water....

Never heard of this, but seems like a novel idea. Their litle walk of fame must have been adorable...
