Change To Pirate Theme in Myrtle Beach
On September 22, 2010, Parton said she would change her Myrtle Beach theater after 18 years. After the Christmas show, the Myrtle Beach location shut down. The animals were moved to the other Dixie Stampede locations or sold. Starting in June 2011, Pirates Voyage Fun, Feast & Adventure, "a watery wonderland with an indoor lake where pirates will roam", featured a pirate fight along with a five-course meal. Parton appeared for the June 3, 2011 opening "clad in pink-sequined pirate's garb", and the South Carolina General Assembly declared June 3, 2011 Dolly Parton Day.

Persian garlands I detest,
Bring me not the late-blown rose
Lingering after all the rest:

Thus outstretched beneath my vine,

Waiting with thy master’s wine.”

people tossed like ripe corn,
buttering themselves as they went
and on the dunes thousands of crabs,
moved their yellow eyes.”
