If you know me and my family, you know we ALL love Dollywood! From small to tall, visiting with kids is part of the Dollywood experience for us! Because I often have little kids in tow, I like to plan out much of our trip up front so that we can maximize our fun [...]
Great theme parks have hidden Easter eggs that if you don’t look closely, you can easily miss. I have been going to Dollywood for years (living right down the road), and I still find all sorts of neat things every time I go! I wanted to share these three that you can look for [...]
The off-season is officially here. Dollywood is closed during January and February, meaning we miss our favorite rides, snacks and shows. As we count down the days until the park reopens in March, we can bring a little of the Dollywood fun home by creating our very own family Dollywood day. While there are [...]
Clearly, I like inside information. I applied for the Dollywood Insider program, because I’m pretty familiar with the properties and I enjoy sharing my tips with others. Having the inside scoop (especially when visiting a theme park) makes your experience even more enjoyable. It’s fun to visit like a pro, and something as simple [...]
I have two toddlers, so it’s rare that you find us in line for Dollywood in the morning when they open. Our favorite time to visit is after naptime; we love to get to the park in the mid-afternoon, catch a sunset, grab dinner and tire the kids out so they fall asleep on [...]
Looking back, I’m always struck by the sheer number of memorable Dollywood visits we’ve had as a family. It’s really become our go-to place for creating memories year after year. Speaking of memories, I think the visits we remember the most - the really special ones - are those that include “new experience” memories. [...]
We’ve all been there. The family is having the time of their lives on Dollywood’s 160 acres of never-ending fun and adventure, and nature calls. For first-time park visitors (and maybe the less-seasoned passholders), you may not know the best places to take care of business so you can get back to the reason you [...]
Dollywood introduced the free Pre-K Imagination Season Pass program a couple of years ago and it was a big hit with parents. In fact, it looks like it’s here to stay. So, for the 2022 season, if you have a child born in 2017 or 2018, you can register them for a Pre-K Imagination [...]
As a plus-sized person who is also an adrenaline junkie, one of my biggest fears in visiting any theme park is my ability to fit on the rides and attractions. It can be somewhat nerve wracking to wait in line for a ride that you are super excited about, only to find out once [...]
Dollywood is a 160-acre theme park. It takes a couple days to see and do everything. I’m betting there’s one place you’ll be sure to see: the bathrooms. Dollywood has restrooms all over the park, but if you’re in a hurry (especially with small children), it’s helpful to have a heads up on your [...]
