The brown bags they used to put them in would always end up getting soaked! Good move Dollywood!

@@AdventureIsOutThere Yes, exactly! And we would often buy more than one. One for now, and one to take back to the hotel. Boxes will make it easier to carry without mushing them.

Everything looks delicious! Cannot wait to try all the yummy foods when we visit. I love your shirt, Brie! Perfect for the Flower and Food Festival.

[@christianlee1485]

Yay!! What a great video. I'm so excited. Please try the pizza! Also, have y'all done the flower and food festival paid tour ever that you can give info on what that is actually like? We're trying to decide if we're doing that.

[@christycleary216]

Thanks for sharing. It all looks amazing. The flatbread looks delicious. Would definitely like to try it. Maybe soon Ryan can do a POV and give us some ride reviews... 🤣😂

[@JLuvBug2]

Thanks for sharing the festival food!! The pesto sandwich looks really good. I love all things pesto. And as a fan of red velvet, I would try that desert, too.

[@smokymountainman4964]

You guys are soooooo much fun. Loved this video. Ryan and Brie very well done. You know how much I love, Dollywood. I miss being there. I have to agree with Brie. The Caprese sandwich looked like it would be my favorite. It has been 3 years since we have been to the flower and food festival. Lord willing we hope to be there for the Flower and food festival next year. Thanks for taking me back to Dollywood. As always, this was very entertaining and very informative. Keep pushing the plow, my friend.

[@rickl9253]

Awesome video. We're going to be up there on Monday and you've given us some great insight of what to use our tasting pass on. BTW, I loved Bri's comment about you giving her rib like Adam did to Eve!!!

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Hope you have a great time at Dollywood Rick!

Our pleasure Suzanne!

[@dougbradley5915]

Ryan, I agree with you about never having too many containers. I keep everything even scrap lumber . It does come in handy every once in a while. That container you got without a lid is still usable. I have a couple that I keep things that slightly stick up above the rim. I have a used scented candle jar, no lid, that I throw used blades, old screws and nails, and anything else sharp. When it's full I use duct to close the top and throw away. Love the videos. Keep them coming.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Thanks Doug, will do!

[@jamesgreen8672]

Really enjoyed the video. So, we tried the flatbread dish and it looked very different from what you guys got. It looks like the one in the video had lettuce but ours did not. My wife and I really enjoyed it. I don’t see it listed on the website as an option, so I’m not sure which presentation is accurate. Other than that we tried the sausage sub, honey garlic chicken, and shrimp and Mac. I thought they were all good. My favorite of those three was the sausage sub, but it was a tad spicy for my wife. Agreeing with your son, the honey garlic chicken was also very good.

[@amberbryant8141]

Thank you watching it ❤ Look good festival foods and love it all flowers shirts so cute. 🫶🏻❤️

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

It was a fun day at Dollywood!

[@music7064]

Thanks for the video. We will be there June 5th through the 12th and you gave me several good things to try. Have they mentioned when the dollywood experience will be open? Keep up the great work guys.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Thanks Dyan! It should open May 24th.

[@robbrocki2724]

Just found your videos and love them! We are going to be at Dollywood in May from NY for our first time and love that you showed the festival. You talk about the ribs and I was wondering where your favorite fall off the bones ribs are in Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg? Looking forward to your review of the buffet.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Welcome to the channel Rob! I would try Delauder's BBQ in Gatlinburg or Preacher's in Pigeon Forge. Hope you have a great time in May!

[@robbrocki2724]

Thanks! I'm going to look into both of those!

[@rogerokelley]

I would love to just afford to go with this high prices. It looks like a very nice facility and a wonderful video. Thank you Ryan 👍👍

Our pleasure Roger!

[@jmsmokymtnfans]

Thanks for the video highlighting all the great food and merch from the Flower & Food Festival! Just curious: where do the trams drop off guests now? We haven’t been to Dollywood since right after COVID protocols. How close is the drop off to the park entrance now? Thanks!

[@lyndabond1443]

Great review 🎉. Covered a lot of the food’s in the park. I’m with Brie on the panini and that lemon cannoli yum 😋. I couldn’t eat a pizza 🍕 with strawberries..it would be like chocolate sauce on spaghetti yuck..some thing’s don’t belong together lol. Loved the tour ! ❤

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Thanks Lynda, glad you enjoyed joining us inside Dollywood!

[@beartopiafacts]

Shoot I missed you guys! I was there today too

[@libbygaddis3954]

Is the Grist Mill the only place to get the cinnamon bread in a box? Or is it just for Diamond holders? Spotlight Bakery just had a bag! Love your videos about the tasting pass! Looking forward to the Spring time buffet video! Enjoy all of your videos too!

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

No, you can get it at the Bakery or Grist Mill. It's for anyone whether you have a pass or not. Thanks Libby!

[@libbygaddis3954]

Thank you!

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

@@libbygaddis3954 👍

[@christinecampbell2525]

I really like the new cinnamon bread boxes. The flowers look amazing. We hope to see you guys at opening day of the Christmas festival. Is there a festival experience guide with stickers for the Christmas festival? The food all looks delicious. Do you know if they are offering all new festival foods for every festival this year or is it the same food as last year? How much are the refillable drink mugs and where is the best place to get one? I would love to go to this festival since i love food and it looks like a great festival for photos but my allergies say its a no go.

[@WesleyKisor1164]

Yeah maybe you should suggest Dollywood putting a label on the jar and it having a lid and using it as a park souvenir. And even offer it in different colors. That'd be so neat that way the man of the house could have one in the color of his choice and the woman of the house could have one in the color of her choice.

[@keyman6689]

Micah: "Told ya!" Love it! Cookie dough is the winner. 1000% Good to know, cuz that lemon cannoli sounds so good.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

He has a pretty sophisticated palate for an 11 year old. He actually enjoys cooking in the kitchen with Brie!

[@keyman6689]

@@AdventureIsOutThere Yeah, I was a very picky kid. I still am to some degree, but I've grown up a lot. I do love sweet potato fries, though. The thought of bacon on them sounds wonderful!

[@keyman6689]

​@@AdventureIsOutThereThanks for the video. It did the trick! Watched with Joy over the weekend. There are so many yummy choices. Once she saw the Blueberry Lavender Spritz, we were booking our hotel for May!

[@thecoolestdad]

Yes please continue doing the food reviews from not only Dollywood, but from everywhere up there. Love the food vids.

[@davepov]

Very thorough and entertaining video. You always do good work. Just make sure every time you do a VO audio clip that you add in during editing, you pan the audio to the center. Several of your audio clips were right or left channel only and it's a bit disorienting. I only mention this because I was a video editor for several decades before I retired last year. 🙂

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

I noticed my settings got knocked off at one point when I sat down to edit the footage. I did my best to modify in post so most people wouldn't notice, but you are probably like me and notice little things like that off at certain points. It was a reminder to always double check my settings after letting Micah play with the camera! 😉 Thanks!

[@davepov]

@@AdventureIsOutThere To be honest, I listen with headphones so I don't disturb my wife watching TV, so it's more noticeable. Keep up the good work.

[@keyman6689]

The Toasted Grove Cheese Melt was a bit sad. I feel like they lightly toast the bread and make the sandwich. The cheese doesn't melt. Good flavor, tho. Cookie dough was a big hit. I loved the lemon cannoli, too. We missed quite a few things we wanted to try. Didn't get to that pizza. Maybe that's a good thing, haha! But Joy liked the Blueberry Lavender Spritz.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

That was our issue with the cheese melt too, they have to work on actually melting the cheese. Cookie dough was fun to try! Glad you guys had a good time!

[@keyman6689]

@@AdventureIsOutThere Yes. We found ourselves needing a meal at Till & Harvest, so I figured I'd try it even though you didn't really recommend it. Joy got the Smoky Mountain Nachos, which were really good. It was a large portion, and I ended up eating half of it. Great flavor, good value.

[@carrieb7313]

Love the box for the bread! We live in FL and are coming up in May. We are hoping this will make it a lot easier to transport a bunch of bread home. 😅 My husband and I kept hoping you would try the pizza! We think you should go back and give it a try. It seems like a dessert pizza. I remember that Pizza Rio had some cheese on some of their dessert pizzas, right? We liked all the dessert pizzas at Pizza Rio when we tried them on our last trip! We are excited to visit in May…we are now Dollywood passholders! 🎉

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

We may go back and try it eventually, we hope you guys have a great time in May!

[@fran2177]

Another great video, only thing I'd like to say is that the honey guy needs to wear 🧤 gloves 😝when handing out the tasting sticks.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Thanks Fran!

[@TheYamichan16]

Brie your shirt is cute!

[@MrDWhite30]

What would you recommend at Dollywood for the adult solo traveler? I have vacation in June and I'm thinking about going to Dollywood.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

You could have a great time on a solo trip enjoying shows, food & rides at Dollywood Theme Park!

[@smokymountainman4964]

I'm with you on this one Ryan. I would not like strawberries on my pizza. I will stick with cheese pepperoni and alot of veggies. 😊

[@piedmontpengwing]

Do a cinnamon bread review with the new packaging. Compare to the old method. My fear is that something will be lost. For example, placing it in those tin containers probably kept the heat longer. Made it taste like it just came out of the oven. I always eat it right there at Dollywood. Now you know why I am unable to eat anything else there.

[@ginagreen1202]

I’m confused, how can a roast beef sandwich be bitter? I’m wondering what that flavor might be.

[@zackferris4320]

😀

[@piedmontpengwing]

I consider myself a food weirdo. The main thing I have ate there is the cinnamon bread. I have ate the entire loaf as a meal. Other foods look nice. Just can’t get pass the cinnamon bread. I run right to it. I hope the cinnamon goodness drippings aren’t lost with the new packaging. I will definitely be upset. Don’t care how messy it is. Best cinnamon bread that I have ever had!!!!!!

[@helenmathis6839]

WOW! It's Ryan & Bree. It has been a long time. Victor & I would love to get together with you all. We are in Greenevile.

[@2018rice]

Does the park allow you to bring in your own food, or drink?

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

The official answer is no. They only check bags that go off in the metal detector. So many people bring in Custom snacks for their dietary needs. If you had anything you need to bring in just don’t keep any metal in the bag. 😉

[@shannoncopley1074]

I would try the strawberry pizza

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

We will have to go back to Dollywood on a different day and try it!

[@ginagreen1202]

I would try it. It reminds me of a strawberry pastry or maybe a pineapple pizza.

So what happens to the food you don’t like? In the trash? 😢 I would have gotten that pizza. Yankee in the South tried it.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Teenagers & Ziplock bags. If in the past when we really didn't like something, we would give it to our chickens. Perhaps we will try the video on a different visit.

[@michelleconcannon7584]

I will stand by my opinion that red velvet is a fraud. 😆 It doesn't have enough chocolate to be a good chocolate cake nor any other flavor to it. It's just average cake with red dye. Cream cheese frosting is what makes it tolerable. Yes, I have opinions lol
