They have one in TN as well.

Also, Gaylord Hotel and Convention Center in Kissimmee, Florida (Disneyworld).

Gaylord was also the real name of Ben Stiller's character in the movie Meet the Parents.

Me too when they turn the Gaylord into a winter wonderland in Orlando, FL.

But, I still like the Peabody cuz they have penguin parade (at least they did before COVID) everyday 🐧🐧

@PA Mom-mom Bingo! From what I read, a Gaylord box is now just called a gaylord. I went to Goodwill this morning to drop off some items, and the attendant said, "Put them in that gaylord." He was pointing to a huge corrugated box that sits on a pallet for easy moving.

Didn't take long

@PickyPicky3 I was actually thrilled to see that you referred to the box as being "CORRUGATED" and not carboard, which it is not! I work for a very large paper company and from the very beginning learned the meaning of corrugated vs cardboard. You made me SMILE.

When we had our kitchen done our contractor said cardboard box at the start of the job. By the second week and when he came back to do our bathroom he was referring to it as CORRUGATED!!!
