It’s a valid question. I get it. Is there enough for my children to do during our visit at Dollywood, or should we wait until they’re older? As a mother of two young boys, I weigh this question against what it requires to wrangle my very active guys when considering things to do this [...]
Preschool Mamas! You’re running out of time to register your child for Dollywood’s FREE Pre-K Imagination Pass. The deadline to get signed up is this Sunday, Feb. 7. There will be no extensions, so if you *think* you may visit Dollywood or Dollywood’s Splash Country sometime in 2021, then I encourage you to take [...]
I believe in Santa Claus. From as early as I can remember until last year, I have always believed in that wonderful man in the red suit with the white beard and the bag filled with presents and yumminess and the love that wraps it all up in a bow. But as the 2020 [...]
Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? Have you thought of things to do this Christmas? Yeah, me neither. The last few years, my wife has really started talking more about getting each other and our kids experiences for Christmas. The more we discuss it, the more it makes sense (She’s pretty smart; how [...]
This time last year, I remember being so excited about our brand-new Pre-K Imagination Passes. Now, I’m excited to tell you that we’ve decided to bring them back for 2021!

But Dolly’s dream wasn’t to have a park with her name on it; it was to provide the people in her beloved home of Sevier County with jobs, opportunities—and sometimes—very real and needed help. Thirty-five seasons later, we [...]
As we are now a couple weeks into the New Year and reflecting on the previous year, 2019 brought many new and exciting aspects to Dollywood. We LOVE being a part of our guests’ fun and memorable moments. Spring: We started the 2019 season with our Festival of Nations. This festival is all [...]
My little boy was born in 2015—that means he is eligible for Dollywood’s Pre-K Imagination Pass! Because it’s new, I thought it would be helpful to do a video-explainer covering what it is, who’s eligible and how to register. And for those who aren’t familiar with all there is for preschool-aged kids to do, [...]
I’m here to tell you that even as a Dollywood veteran, I experience #momfail at the park. Last weekend, I planned a trip with my family. I thought I had it all figured out. I thought I had it all covered—all the important Christmas must-dos for my boys. But… there were a few things [...]
We’re trying something new. Maybe I’ve said that before on this blog? At Dollywood, we’re always on the lookout for new experiences that will make our guests smile. This year, for our 12 and younger guests who have planned to visit us on Oct. 31 as one of their things to do this fall, [...]
