Pros & Cons of Visiting Gatlinburg TN in 2024
I’m definitely looking forward to visiting Dollywood in April 2025!
Pancake Pantry is hands down my favorite! It’s a must do stop for us every time we visit Gatlinburg! Most amazing French toast with cinnamon syrup.
Oooo... I gotta try that dish next time!
Im not sure If I missed it. Can two adults ride together?
That's actually a good question. I think on most coasters you can ride with a younger person - not enough room for an adult, but I might be wrong. Anyone know the answer?
We are planning our first trip to pigeon forge and this video helped me a lot 😊 thanks
You're welcome! Have fun on your trip. Good luck with everything!!!
What type of mount was used for the front camera facing you and Owen?
The front facing camera was actually mounted to the coaster. The cool thing is you can buy the recording after the ride is over!
@@VisitingGatlinburg-PigeonForge Thanks you. We will be there during Christmas and I want to do a recording. I wil lbe using a Gopro 12 so I hope it turns out.
This was definitely made with AI. I dont recommend you continue making videos like this. Its very noticeable and off-putting.
Good catch! Thanks for the feedback! Always testing new things out.
Is it true that if you go after 3pm you can return the next day free?
That's a good question. I dug into it... and I actually don't think thats true anymore - That was a program they used to run but they shut it down some time ago. Now, you will have to repurchase a ticket.
Do these resturants have options for kids
That's a great question! I think they do - but honestly I wasn't paying attention while there so I can't say for sure.
I’m in pigeon Forge right now. I’m a go check this out. My mom is going to take maybe I don’t know you is anyone else you’re going
Nice! Did you like it?
Very helpful video!
Thanks so much! I hope it helps point you in the right direction during your visit! So many great options to choose from!
I drink my coffee black too!
The few, the proud!
Thanks for this. I'm taking my first fall visit this month. Loved Christmas in Dollywood. I'm really looking forward to riding Lightning Rod as it was closed on my first trip.
The Lightning Rod is AWESOME! Too fast and intense for my 8 year old... and it banged me up a little bit... but still super fun. Hope you have a great time!
I didn’t think Dollywood had the festival of nations anymore
Anything on the best apartments to rent in Gatlinburg, Sevierville or Pigeon Forge?
Hey, I'm sorry but I"m not sure about the best apartments to rent!
Very nice video. 👍 I will be visiting with my adult children, next month (Oct. 2024). For me, I'd like opinions on The Island (Pigeon Forge) vs The Village (Gatlinburg). We're not sure which to visit, but can choose only one of those, as we'll be doing Anakeesta, Roaring Fork Motor Trail, Cades Cove, Skybridge, and maybe a petting zoo. Hmm .. The Island or The Village? 🤔🧐 Thanks very much for sharing your video.
Thanks so much for watching! I know personally I would likely choose the island over the village. If you’re going to Anakeesta you could visit the village before or after - it’s right around the corner and it’s really just a small collection of shops that you could probably walk through within 15 or 20 minutes. The Island definitely has more to see and do. It could easily take up an entire evening if you want!
My friend and I went to see Paula Deans Pioneer Freud dinner show. We were disappointed. We expected it to be better, like you said, it carried Paula Deans name. They handed us a box dinner to eat at a picnic table outside. It wasnt that great of a meal. The show was better then the food, but not that great either. It seems that most of the shows out in Pigeon Forge serve pulled pork, which my friend and I neither one like. Our favorite show among all the shows we saw ( and I think we saw all but the bibical one. We wanted to see that one too, but ran out of time.) was the Pirate dinner show. Array, and Murder Mysterty dinner show was good. Dollys Stampede dinner show, and Hatfied and MCCoy was pretty good too. We enjoyed Comedy Barn also. Memories and Motown was pretty good too. Paulas Deans was our least favorite.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience!
I can have coffee black. But typically I'm a three cream one sugar guy.
I haven't been yet. There's couple places in Pigeon Forge I like to visit.
It’s a fun place for sure. Let us know what you think when you get a chance to visit!
@@VisitingGatlinburg-PigeonForge I will.
I hope to live in Tennessee!
It’s a beautiful place for sure!
Pancake Pantry. Our Eggs were scrambled 2 hours before we got there. Cold & Thin. Bacon was way overcooked.
So you liked the Pancake Pantry the best or no?
so $55 breakfast for 2. is this a great country or what?
I mean... I like it here. 🤷♂️
Too many hungry bears walking around the hotels behind the space needle 😳
I recently visited Gatlinburg for the Smokey Mt Bigfoot Conference, and stayed at a hotel that was 1-2 minutes walking distance from the conference center and space needle. Nobody told me that my life would be endangered by a black bear with cubs walking between me and the conference center! Gatlinburg can surly afford game wardens to scare bears away from the hotels behind the space needle. An unsuspecting person (like me) is going to get hurt stumbling across a hungry bear seeking food. It wasn’t like this 5 years ago.
Wild story - thanks for sharing!
What about accomadations and places for couples...
Thanks for sharing
You’re so welcome. Thanks so much for watching!!!!
I love both places but if I had to pick I would choose Gatlinburg. That's where we stay every year.
It's really a great vibe in Gatlinburg. We love staying in that community too!
Well done. Excellent video as usual! I guess we'll have to visit both on our upcoming trip in October. Thanks so much!- Mike from Ottawa🇨🇦🍻🥂
Thanks so much! Please let us know how it went! Hope you guys have a great time!
Great video as usual!
Thank you so much!!! I’m so glad it was helpful!
Nice job! Well done.- Mike from Ottawa❤
Thank you so much Mike!!!
@@VisitingGatlinburg-PigeonForge we're coming for a visit in October to see Dollywood and will make a point of stopping by The Old Mill to sample their delicious food after watching the nice review you gave them!-Mike from Ottawa
One thing i noticed on the walkways, there dont seem to be many places to sit. At least not around the shopping areas. As someone who is handicapped, I worry about these things. But it sure looks nice. Skyfly is similar to Soarin at Disney. Very cool! Thanks for the walk through.
You’re so welcome! You’re right - Skyfly is basically the same ride!!! You’re right! I didn’t think about it but there isn’t much seating around the shops. Really the most seating you’ll find is around the fountain. Thank you so much for watching!!!

For families with toddlers (i have 3,4,6,8yo) what do you find to be worth the price/best to see. Definitely want to do Hillbilly golf thanks to your recommendation but struggling to find other places that would be worth it and fun for littles. Thank you!!
My kids (8, 4 and 3) love Anakeesta & the Aquarium. I think both of those are great for families & worth the price of admission. With the new additions at Anakeesta there’s even more to do - even for the little ones!
@@VisitingGatlinburg-PigeonForgethank you so much for the advice!! We'll definitely check it out!! 😃
@@chelseaalgebra You're welcome! I hope you guys have a great trip!!!
Go to pigeon forge Gatlinburg is expensive and not geared toward younger than teen kids
That place sucks. One bite and I had to puke.
No kidding! Sorry to hear that. What did you have?
Hello! Just ran across your channel and video. We are locals to the area, and agree on most of the places. There's so many to choose from. Great review.
Thank you so much for watching! Means the world! What’s your favorite place for breakfast?
@@VisitingGatlinburg-PigeonForge Sawyers, Frizzle Chicken, Reagans, and Flapjacks.
Nice! Gotta try fizzle chicken. Haven’t been there!
@@VisitingGatlinburg-PigeonForge The best price, great amount of food, and THE SHOW!! That's all I will say, LOL
I worked for someone from the middle east. He, his family went on vacation one year. They gave me my choice of where to go. I chose Gatlinburg. We ate at the old mill. They have been back a few times since. I ask him if they ever went back to the mill. He said they would always eat at the Old Mill.
No kidding - how interesting! Thanks for sharing! We loved it when we visited!
Sky fly is my favorite ride
I LOVE that ride!!! Thanks so much for watching!!!
Crockett is the best I would eat there all the time if I lived there..I’d weigh about 600 lbs
I know… right!?!?
Thanks!
You’re so welcome!!! Thanks for watching! It means the world to us!
Anyone who goes to Pigeon Forge is supporting a corrupt town
I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve never seen any indication that’s the case.
I'll save you 8 minutes. The answer is ,"no."
😂 the quick and dirty answer. What didn’t you like about it?
@VisitingGatlinburg-PigeonForge Lots of flash, not what I want in a restaurant. Portion of my meal was massive, but only due to the massive amounts of fries embedded. I occasionally watch his show and thought the flavor would mirror the food in his show; I was greatly disappointed. To be fair, I was also underwhelmed when I ate at Paula Deen's restaurant in Nashville a couple years back. Maybe I need to stay away from celebrity restaurants; my expectations could be too high.
I think it is a waste of food . You should be able to take out what you can't finish if you didn't get a refill on the food .
The music is unbearable
Thanks for the feedback and thank you for watching!!!
not sure 7 little rides is worth 30 dollars.
Hey John! We thought so. It was unlimited for 48 hours. We sure used the fire out of those tickets. lol. The kids had a good time. Thanks for watching!!!!
Hellooo from Gatlinburg!

Dude you been living under a rock that area has been there forever.

Mill was built 1830, they just redid the outside wood siding this past winter, one of the oldest mills in the country!
Oh how cool. Thanks for sharing!!!
Pottery House Cafe is also owned by the same people & fantastic....across the street, next to Pigeon River Pottery....they make their bread, they have outside seating available and you are served on pottery dishes made next door!
Nice! I’ll have to be sure to stop by next time. I love a good cafe!
Big fan of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives so I tried Flavortown out. Sadly it's overpriced and the food is garbage.
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience! Thanks for sharing though!
Me and my family go there all the time! It’s delicious! 🫶🏻 I will say.. when they first opened the portion sizes were over flowing. Now, it’s less in each dish. And the prices went up a cpl bucks 👍🏼
That’s interesting! I was a little surprised at how small the portions were.
