Dollywood Mom Tips

Editor’s Note: This blog was originally posted May 25, 2021.

If you are bringing kids to Dollywood, I wanted to share some helpful tips my family discovered. The planning usually starts before the trip. If you download the Dollywood app, you can get everyone involved in deciding what you want the day to look like. Dollywood Insiders is a great resource!

In this video I share more information about getting your children measured, finding family restrooms, areas little ones love and a few other tips.

My family has really enjoyed making memories at Dollywood, and we hope your family will as well!

About the Author: Megan Doran

Megan Doran (Dollywood Insider 2019-2021) grew up in Ohio and attended college in Illinois where she met her husband Seth and received her bachelor’s degree in elementary education. In 2011, she and her husband moved to East Tennessee to work as houseparents at Wears Valley Ranch, a children’s home at the base of the Smoky Mountains. Megan now stays home with her two young daughters and enjoys recording their Smoky Mountain experiences on her instagram @mountainmamamegan. Her love for Dollywood and Dolly Parton’s Stampede started young as her family made frequent visits to Pigeon Forge growing up. When she’s at the park, if she isn’t feasting on some cinnamon bread, you can probably find her singing along to some live music or chasing her kids around trying to get them to smile for a picture. She is really excited for this new opportunity and looking forward to sharing all of her Dollywood experiences with you!
