A great video. It was very informative. Love that you emphasized that Christmas is a celebration of Jesus' birth. Thank you for your hard work.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

We love that they celebrate the birth of Jesus too! Thanks Kim!

[@davef1977]

Thank you for the detailed information on the Smoky Mountain Christmas festival. We will be making a return visit in a week or so, and every tidbit of new information helps in the planning, so thank you for that! Thanks also for reminding us of the real reason for the season; it is so refreshing that Dollywood focuses on and celebrates the true meaning of Christmas. You guys have to be SO proud of your daughter; maybe we’ll catch one of her performances ….

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Our pleasure Dave, we too appreciate Dollywood to celebrate the birth of Jesus! We are VERY proud of all 3 of our kiddos!

[@smokymountainman4964]

Brother Ryan, This video was fantastic!! So very informative as well as enjoyable. Dollywood is so beautiful at Christmas . It is mt favorite time to be there. Thank you for telling about the food and shows but especially focusing in on the birth of Jesus our Savior. He is what Christmas is all about. Thanks also for showing the clip og Hannah. It was great seeing her in action. She did a great job. I know that you and Brie are so proud of her. And of course Misd Lillian. She is wonderful. I love Miss Lillian and always have to go see her. She got a big kick out of the fact when we told her we live in a place called Chickentown. 🙂 Keep those great videos coming my brother.

Thanks Smoky Mountain Man!

[@jonathanguffey6132]

Thank you for another very informative video. As a "lifelong Dolly Parton Fan" I would love to see a video showcasing all of the Official Dolly Parton Merchandise available all throughout Dollywood during the Smoky Mountain Christmas Celebration. Thanks again for making it possible for everyone to visit one of the most magical places on earth...Dollywood. Your KZbin videos are a great way to do some Fun & Exciting "Armchair" Traveling. MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY DOLLYDAYS! 🦋

Thanks Jonathan, I’ll have to do a full Dolly Merch video when the park opens up in March for her 50th Anniversary of “I will always love you” song.

Love your videos really helps to plain my day at Dollywood. I am going to the park Saturday 11/12/2002 can't wait to see the Christmas shows.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Awesome, we hope you have a great time Olen!

[@christinecampbell2525]

This is super helpful. Is it possible to see the Christmas in the Smokies show and twas the night before Christmas show in the afternoons before dark or see both of them in the same day? We want to see both shows but might leave one of the two days before dark to drive to Newport to see the lights at Christmas never ends.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Yes, the length of each show is under 1hr, so you could definitely see both of them in 1 day. I would just double check the times when they get posted.

[@christinecampbell2525]

@@AdventureIsOutThere great. I appreciate it. Have you guys visited Christmas never ends in Newport? I would love to hear your thoughts.

Hopefully you could make it to Dollywood during Christmas time someday soon Karen!

[@jerryprice5484]

You didn't mention it so I'm assuming they don't have it anymore. Last time we were there just after Thanksgiving they were serving up a dish made with chopped up red potatoes along with something else. They were cooking it in a large pot, and I'm telling you I still think about it even after all these years.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

We will do our best to cover all the food options for this upcoming Christmas festival in detail!

[@dqdaddy]

Great video! The video quality is really good. I am looking to buy a good camera to video my grandchildren. What type of camera/video set-up do you use? Everything looks so good on our 65" screen. Thanks!

Coming to the area and to Dollywood for the first time December 6th. I’m assuming this was filmed at the beginning of November when the festival started and seeing people in tank tops and shorts. What should I expect for temperatures at the beginning of December? Thanks!

[@dsfkbarbosa2384]

Great video! Question, is the glacier ridge; the holiday area you are in…. Is that the theme park or resort area? I want to book for Christmas but wondering if I’ll need to tickets for that Christmas light area? TIA

Thanks, what was covered in this video was inside the theme park that you would need a ticket for.

How long is the Christmas in the Smokies show? We are planning to do the Christmas tour that includes this and are trying to figure out if we should eat early for dinner at the front porch cafe and go to the 5pm show before catching the tour at 6:30pm or go to the 3pm show, eat at the front porch cafe and catch the tour at 6:30pm.

Hello from Gatlinburg....

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Hey Hussey!

[@thecoolestdad]

Dollywood looks so awesome for the holidays. I want to get up there so badly during this time of the year. But I do have a question. How long does it take the staff to decorate the entire park with all the decorations?

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

They start putting lights up in July. I show the process in this video 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmSVe5WfaZuXm9U Otherwise the main turnover happens in about a week that they close down between Oct 30-Nov 5th. We hope you can make it sometime!

How long is the Glacier tour and can I use the Christmas taster pass all day or just during the Christmas event at night

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

We started our tour after the 5:45 Christmas in the Smokies Show & wrapped up around the time the park closed. The tasting passes are good all day, any day through Jan 1st 2023.

[@Landerjosh]

Are all the roller coasters still open?

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Yes they are Josh.

[@mikaylafrederick5443]

Great video! Very informative and helpful for our 1st visit in 2 weeks. Question about bringing backpacks…. Is there a place to stow them or leave while riding a ride?

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Thanks Mikayla! Backpacks are certainly allowed as I use it to bring in camera equipment all the time. Some rides have "cubbies" to place your things while you ride (such as bumper cars for example). Lockers are available at Wild Eagle, Mystery Mine, FireChaser Express, Daredevil Falls, Barnstormer, Smoky Mountain River Rampage, Tennessee Tornado, Country Fair and Lightning Rod. At these lockers, pay a one-time fee and you can rent from locker to locker without having to pay each time. We hope this helps and you have a great trip! Here is another video you might want to check out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3nMaIama7CnhMU

[@jenngingerich6]

Thanks for all of the information! I will be visiting Dollywood for the first time the week of thanksgiving. Should we expect any of the rollercoasters/thrill rides to be open during the day?

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Our pleasure Jenn! Rides will be open year round unless there is a weather or technical issue with a particular ride. We hope you have a great time!

[@mtrance19]

We will be visiting Dollywood for the first time on Tuesday 11/07. Do you think it'll be pack that day, since it's the first week of their Smokey Mountain Christmas celebration? Just wondering if we should purchase the time-savor.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Saturdays are packed. I don’t think Tuesday will be that bad as most kids will be in school that day.

Yes you can.

[@kentvance2815]

Can you leave the park and come back on the same day ? Would you have to pay for parking again ?

We always have season passes, but I am pretty sure parking admission is good for the day. Definitely double check with the ticket booth when you come in kent.

Hey Alyson, they both can be popular during the holiday season (we will be at Disney next month for a week). Disney has Genie+/Lightning Lane to combat long lines. Dollywood has a timesaver system which we cover in this video 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHvSn3uLlp6MldU

[@SeanHardman-t3m]

Dollywood would be the Greatest Adventure and Voyage of all time. A place where Christmas Lives Forever. A place i call The Nexus I would love to be in. A place where time has no meaning where time stands still. I hope to oneday get jibs there to meet my IDOL and Legend Dolly Parton herself. Like Achilles once said, "Whatever you do in history, Our Names will Remain For All etenity in Immortality. " Dolly Parton once said, "Whatever you dream and want is never far from your reach if you want it bad enough. " When it comes to Dollywood Gene Roddenberry once said, "To Boldly Go Where No Man Or No One Has Ever Gone...............Before ! I want jbs there to reconnect with my family roots in Germantown, Tennessee with My Aunt Dana And Uncle Bill McKelvy.

[@jenniferkirkland3877]

You never mentioned the best day to visit, and if you did, I missed it. We are visiting Gatlinburg the week after Christmas.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

There is not really a "best day' to visit. November & December are VERY popular time to come to Dollywood. Our recommendation is to pack patience & consider purchasing a TimeSaver Pass if skipping the ride lines are important. A weekday when kids are in school will always be your best bet year round to go to Dollywood. We have had our lowest crowd days when the weather forecast looks the worst 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKXPnpqQjs2sb7M
