The places the article lists include Fantastic Caverns, the massive aquarium inside of the Bass Pro Shop national headquarters, Table Rock Lake, Dogwood Canyon Nature Park, and the Top of the Rock (which is a part of Big Cedar Lodge).

I have never been to Branson so I can't speak on all of these outdoor activities, that being said, I have been to Disney World 8+ times and Disney World is amazing. If I were Branson I wouldn't want the pressure of being compared to Disney World, because that is a high bar to live up to. after all...it's the most magical place on Earth.
