My expectations for riding around the Smokies in a pink jeep that looks like it was made by Dolly Parton herself were... well, I actually didn’t even know what to expect. I didn’t know if it would be a leisurely cruise or a fast and furious adventure. I didn’t even know where the ride [...]

My kids and I are what you might call Pirate’s Voyage super fans. We have seen the show four times both here in Pigeon Forge as well as in Myrtle Beach. So when we heard about the all-new, Christmas-themed dinner and show down the road from Dollywood, we jumped at the chance to see [...]

Our very first year as a married couple living in Tennessee, my husband and I got to see the Christmas show at the Smoky Mountain Opry—an incredible show down the road from Dollywood in Pigeon Forge.

There are lots of fun props and décor to use as photo ops. If you walk around the building, you’ll even [...]

We were thrilled to be able to welcome the holiday season at The Christmas Celebration Dinner Show on our last trip to Dollywood. This is a must-see show filled with fun holiday music, acrobatics, a live nativity and so many cool special effects. It extends your Dollywood experience because the theater is located conveniently in [...]
