The Peabody Orlando Hotel is an elegant building, as many high end hotels in Orlando, but it is the ducks in the lobby fountain that make it special for me. The story on the cocktail napkin from the bar, occurred originally at the first hotel they opened in Memphis. At 5pm when they roll out a red carpet from the fountain to the elevators, the ducks immediately step up on the fountain rim. They start drying off, and preening themselves for the march back to the roof palace in which they spend their evenings. Always fun to watch, but get there an hour early or sooner if you want to get a seat!
