On Jan. 19, two amazing humans were born. At first glance they may appear vastly different. One of them I know very well and one I have only waved to from a distance. One is simple and quiet while the other is all bling and making her presence known. One is only recognized and [...]
Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort and Spa is so much more than just the “Dollywood Hotel.” Sure, by staying there you get great Dollywood perks like door-to-door trolley service, TimeSaver passes, early entry to the parks on Saturdays and free package delivery to your room.

One of the coolest things I have gotten to do as a Dollywood Insider is to learn more about the theatrical productions in Dollywood.

And, brilliantly, Dollywood partners with Ober Gatlinburg to offer the experience as a package option for their wintertime guests. Ober is a ski area and amusement park [...]
How does Dollywood find all of their talented performers? Open call auditions! I got to be a fly on the wall for their first round of 2019 auditions on Jan. 12. To say these auditions are a big deal is a bit of an understatement! Dollywood is the industry leader in theme park entertainment, [...]
