Peabody Duck March

Since opening its doors on November 1, 1986, The Peabody Orlando has continued, in unbroken sequence, the traditional March of The Peabody Ducks which began at its sister property, The Peabody Memphis, many, many years ago. Each morning, promptly at 11 a.m., the hotel's atrium lobby is the scene of a remarkable ritual. In a special elevator, the five North American mallard ducks, four hens and one drake, comprising The Peabody Ducks, descend from their $100,000 penthouse Royal Duck Palace. When the elevator doors open, The Peabody Ducks, accompanied by their crimson-and-gold-braid-jacketed Duck Master™, take up their positions on a plush red carpet and begin The March of The Peabody Orlando Ducks to the strident tones of John Philip Souza's King Cotton March. They waddle their way in formation through the hotel's marble halls, and when they reach the magnificent, orchid-crowned fountain, which takes center stage in the Atrium Lobby, the ducks mount three red-carpeted steps and splash into the fountain's waters. Tumultuous applause reverberates through the lofty, foliage-draped lobby, and standing ovations are the order of the day by the hundreds of onlookers who daily crowd into the hotel to see one of the greatest shows on earth. At 5 p.m., the procession is reversed, The Peabody Orlando Ducks marching back to their special elevator, then to their Royal Duck Palace for dinner and a quiet evening together.

Recreation

Swimming Pools
Serious swimmers love the expanse of The Peabody Orlando lap pool, which is almost as large as regulation Olympic dimensions. Overlooking the main entrance of the 1.5 million (soon to be 3 million) square foot Orange County Convention Center, the Peabody pool is set amidst lush foliage, conveniently within reach of ice-cold beverages and delicious snacks. It’s the perfect place to rest and luxuriate in the pleasant surroundings. An oversized whirlpool provides just the right degree of heat and movement to soothe away the aches and stress of a busy day of meetings and walking the convention floors. Children can splash and play in perfect safety in the beautiful pool provided just for them, complete with cascading waterfall for even more water frolics. Plenty of tables and chairs for moms, Dads and babysitters, too.
