[@judithpolczynski9536]

Excellent recommendations! I have been a gold passholder for over 10 years now and I live in Pittsburgh! I have about a 9 Hour drive to get to Dollywood, but it is well worth it. I like the different festivals they have throughout the year. It makes it feel like you are going to a whole new park each time. I appreciate their commitment to being a family friendly park. This is apparent when they run such festivals as pumpkin luminights instead of any type of fright fest. Employees go out of their way to be helpful and make you feel welcome. I am a coaster enthusiast , But I feel like I can take just about anyone to Dollywood and show them a good time. Not only are the coasters outstanding, but I love the shows, Food and shopping, especially watching the folks working in craftsman Valley. I have always found that this is a great place to get Christmas gifts that you know will not be duplicated by anyone else! I also have to highly recommend an after dark Christmas season ride on the Dollywood Xpress to really put you in the Christmas spirit!

[@tiffanymcarthur8883]

We followed your plan of attack on a very busy day (Saturday of Columbus Day weekend) and although it was a lot of walking, it saved us a ton of time and was genius! We walked on every single coaster with zero wait. Such a smart strategy. So thankful to have found this video because we would never have been able to accomplish as much as we did without your tips!

[@TP_Recommendations]

Hey Tiffany! That’s amazing! I am so happy for you! Glad to hear the tips worked out! Thank you for the support and watching. ❤️

[@zacg_]

Excellent suggestions for sure. Here are a few I'll add. 1) Don't miss the shows. That's true all year long including during the Festival of Nations but especially during the summer for Dreamland Drive-In and the three main shows at Christmas. Speaking of which 2) Don't miss Christmas. No park does Christmas better than Dollywood. 3) Eat at Aunt Granny's but also don't miss Miss Lillian's, especially if she's out visiting guests. 4) Watch the craftsmen 5) You mentioned where to stay and I agree with your suggestions but I'll add another. If you like themed experiences (and you probably do if you are visiting Pigeon Forge) then The Inn at Christmas Place is amazing. You even get concerts from Santa in some nights and they fill up. 6) Lightning Rod front row at night. You won't find many better coaster experiences. Most RMCs are best in the back but I think Lightning Rod is the exception.

My personal tip: Go on Blazing Fury at night. The wait times are sometimes really short for that ride. I’ve been able to ride that one 3 times in a row before

One of the changes for 2023 is that Silver passholders now have blackout dates that include Christmas plus a few other dates so if you have one Gold holder and the rest Silver (which we did in 2022), that option isn't as viable in 2023 unless the Silver holders don't plan to go during those blackout dates. Check those closely but they basically forced the Silvers to upgrade to Gold for unlimited plus early access.

[@allyray7233]

Thanks so much for the info.

[@TP_Recommendations]

[@werewolflover8636]

Dollywood is by far the best park in the country! Sure it’s not the biggest or does it have the most rides but it makes up for this with their service, cleanliness of the park, friendly staff, and food! Also being right in the middle of Pigeon Forge and having Gatlinburg and the Great Smokey Mountain National Park right next door makes it the perfect vacation destination! You could literally spend a month there and still not see everything the area has to offer. There’s a good reason why this park is the highest rated in the country, go there and if you visit you’ll see why.

Great overview of the park and great tips. I, like you, have been coming to Dollywood for a long time and usually visit 1-3 times per year. I also have a 3 year old so I really appreciate your input on that aspect. We are planning on coming again in June this year. We plan on going to Splash Country this time (Somehow I have never gotten around to visiting it so I'm pretty excited and so is my 3 year old!). I like your short inclusion of the mountain coaster. Thought: Maybe do a video comparing the different mountain coasters? I have never seen this done and there are quite a few now. I've ridden most of them but haven't made it over to either Rowdy Bear yet. Great job as always. One of my favorite channels for sure!

[@DankPeezy]

Great video and awesome plan! Thank you very much. I'm flying to Tampa in May, hitting Busch Gardens then Sea World in Orlando. Renting a car, driving up to Six Flags Over Georgia then going to Dollywood. I'm going to Kentucky Kingdom after that to finish my trip back to Indiana.

[@novapova6514]

I love wild eagle and fire chaser it's the best ride in the park and lightning bug thing

[@wrestlingandamusementparkl7789]

First off I agree. Dollywood is a amazing park with tons to do. The spotlight bakery is open in the morning before the park opens and does get busy. I agree with LR in the morning. Tennessee tornado can do 2 trains but that’s very rare. Only on very busy days. For food I agree with aunt granny that place is amazing. Reds diner is good as well. Another place that’s good I heard Dogs and taters. For bathroom one u can go and won’t be very busy is right by the entrense to county fair. Behind the catering area. Plus I think it cooled in the summer months. Also charge your phone reds has some phone charging areas. Also by the extension to reds outdoor seating there’s 2 coke lokkkg bottles that has plugs in them. Also a drink idea is to buy the suvenere cup as u will get free to 99 cent refills. Also one of the best times to go is Christmas as the park has 5-6 million lights.

Great timing for my upcoming first visit early June...

[@2hoots1cup]

Also, my daughter is currently at 94 coasters. Is it worth the risk to ride 5 others first and then hit up Lightning Rod to be #100? The alternate plan would be to ride Lightning Rod immediately and leave the park with #99 and make her #100 be the next day at Kings Island.

[@TP_Recommendations]

Either way would be great idea. What would she want?

[@TP_Recommendations]

And congrats on the 100!!! Woohoo!

[@2hoots1cup]

@@TP_Recommendations she wants a big name/top tier coaster to celebrate the milestone. Your video alluded to LR being down quite often so I was worried that if we waited to force LR as #100 after riding 5 other Dollywood coasters then we risk it being down and not getting to ride it at all... So we just fixed the problem this weekend. We went to Orlando this weekend and went on a couple side quests to the Fun Spots. Now she sits at 99 with either ArieForce One (if it's completed by June, which I'm doubting) or Lightning Rod waiting to be 100

Great video. We're making our first ever visit Memorial Day weekend. We will buy the Time Saver Unlimited since it will probably be very crowded. Knowing that, is there any reason for a plan of attack or just go with the flow? Also, do the Time Saver passes sell out in advance? We're going to pick our Dollywood day based on the weather and hoping to avoid being locked in to a certain day too far ahead of time.

[@jamessparks623]

Dude. Fun fact. I went with my fam and gf last memorial day 2021, and we bought the limited time saver. For some reason, the park was dead. Like no need whatsoever for our time saver that we had bought prior to going. The longest wait was lightning rod for 40 min. It makes no sense to me either, but just a heads up. We did go exactly on memorial day, however, so ppl were probably busy with the typical memorial day activities

[@TP_Recommendations]

Hey Sherry, all coasters should be open. (except their new for 2023 coaster Obv). they can operate until it gets under 40 degrees usually. As for crowds, it will be busy. But a lot of people are there for the shows, so the ride lines aren't as bad. But you should look into the idea of potentially having to purchase the Time Saver Pass. Enjoy the park, it's wonderful!

[@TP_Recommendations]

Thank you! I’m glad someone noticed :-))

[@Tomiaccc]

Is it worth going to?

[@TP_Recommendations]

YES!!

[@ajamico]

Why is Dollywood one of your favorite parks to visit? I know that is probably a loaded question 😁

[@TP_Recommendations]

Environment, rides, setting, food :)

[@ajamico]

@@TP_Recommendations environment is huge for me… it’s why I like Knotts Berry farm, it has a country vibe. Im really looking forward to Dollywood now

We are considering the VIP Tour as we will be visiting during the week before Christmas- have you done that before?

[@TP_Recommendations]

I have not! But since you’re visiting during that time - I’d recommend it for sure! It will be busy.

[@allenjohnsonfamily2331]

@@TP_Recommendations Should I do 2 days- one with the tour and one without? Or do you think one day with the tour guide would cover everything?

[@melanielaux279]
