“QUACKER OF A SCREAM” PACKAGE: THE PEABODY ORLANDO & UNIVERSAL ORLANDO’S HALLOWEEN HORROR® NIGHTS™

ORLANDO, FLA. -- September 13, 2004--

The “Quacker of a Scream” package collaboration between The Peabody Orlando and Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror® Nights™ is not for “fraidy cats.” It’s not for those who are afraid of “…things that go bump in the night,” or for those who don’t like to be exposed to 360° of raw fear. This year, for the first time, Halloween Horror® Nights® expands into both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.

The “Quacker of a Scream” package is available for $275 for one night for two people. Additional nights at $169.00 do not include Halloween Horror® Nights™ tickets. “Quacker of a Scream” package is offered on a space-available basis on October 1-2, 8-10, 13-17, 21-24, 28-31 and includes: luxurious, deluxe accommodations for one night for two, complimentary valet parking, evening turndown, admission for two adults to Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror® Nights™. *

Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror® Nights™ creates scenarios, sounds and effects that are gut wrenching in their realism. This is done with horribly haunted houses, awful apparitions, ghostly ghouls, and inescapable scare zones that stretch sanity to the limit. “No one can get inside the psyche of their guest the way Universal does during Halloween. Our guests will go home and leave their lights on – for many, many nights,” said Skip Sherman, senior vice president of entertainment for Universal Orlando.

After a good scare at Universal Orlando, The Peabody’s “Quacker of a Scream” package provides the perfect place to recover and relax from the rigors of ghostly encounters: The Peabody Orlando, just a few minutes down the road from the park. A luxuriously appointed, exquisitely decorated Peabody guest room awaits. Before turning in, guests can enjoy a memorable meal in any of the hotel’s three award-winning restaurants: Dux, serving global haute cuisine, Capriccio® Grill Italian Steakhouse, specializing in prime steaks, chops, fresh seafood and pasta, the 24-hour B-Line Diner with its all-American fare, or a full range of dining options with In-Room Dining. At day’s end, guests enjoy a great night’s sleep on the Peabody Dream Bed® by Simmons Beauty Rest® that will completely refresh them.
