It’s January. The trams are parked. The lots are empty. The only greeting you’ll get is a “Sorry, we’re closed” sign. Nothing happens at Dollywood in January. I’m being facetious, of course. We have 67 days (25 days in January, 28 days in February, and 14 days in March—but who’s counting?) to get all [...]
Two of Dollywood’s most famous leading ladies have celebrated milestone birthdays this year. Katie celebrates her 75th, while “Cindy” enjoys the big 8-0 this season. Both ladies have the opportunity to entertain thousands of guests each season, and their performances turn heads and garner waves of admiration wherever the track takes them. They both [...]
Dollywood is not a cookie-cutter theme park. It’s highly themed with its location in the Smokies and that makes it a truly unique experience. As you walk through our park, there are several sights, sounds and smells you will only find here. Can you identify these sounds? Better than popcorn—it’s Dollywood’s Kettle [...]
Have you ever held on to a really good secret? That feeling you get when the time is finally right to share your news—that’s how it feels to be on the Dollywood Marketing team right now. WE CAN FINALLY SHOUT ABOUT WILDWOOD GROVE FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOPS! Hip hip hooray!! 2019 is going to [...]
When it comes to Dollywood’s largest expansion – Wildwood Grove – you might expect that I would be most excited about the 11 new experiences or the increased amount of space that the area is going to provide to the families who visit Dollywood every year. I am, however, most excited about the expansion [...]
We ride, eat, and play at Dollywood all day, but do you ever stop to think what happens there at night? I mean - who cleans that sticky piece of gum off the concrete or vacuums the autumn leaves before they form piles in Timber Canyon? The sun, as well as every guest, disappears [...]
One of the fun parts about our job on the PR team is that we get to visit a lot of different towns and cities to share about the great events, festivals and happenings here at Dollywood. While it is enjoyable for us to get out to spread the word, our company vehicles might [...]
Three weeks (and some change) until Dollywood opens for the 2018 season! To give you an idea of how our off-season projects are progressing, I walked around the park to check it out. As I passed by a food stand, a lingering scent of cinnamon-glazed almonds, pecans and cashews stopped me in my tracks. [...]
Editor’s note: This guest post is written by Madi Mayfield, who just joined the Dollywood PR team in January. She had never visited Dolly Parton’s Stampede, so she documented her experience to share with you. It’s not every day that you get to enjoy dinner with a side of racing pigs, longhorn cattle, live music [...]
The season ends and we all pack up and go home and sit and wait for the next season, right? If you are a Dollywood guest, yes. But, if you work at Dollywood, there’s a good chance you’ll be working pretty hard during the off-season to get ready for opening day for the brand [...]
Let’s Be Friends!
