    Hello Will & Dawn, we hope you are both doing well and having a great time in Tennessee. We are getting married April 2023, and coming to Gatlinburg for our honeymoon. We've really enjoyed your videos on youtube, thank you for all that you share. Your videos have helped us to learn about the area and plan out things we want to see and do while we're there. We're renting a one bedroom honeymoon cabin through heartland cabin rentals, called Mountain Mist. It's up in the mountains between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Thank you again for your videos. We look forward to our visit to Gatlinburg next year. God Bless and take care. Mike and Heather

    That looks absolutely amazing!!!. It is like you are walking in the stars 🌟. I have never been to Anakeesta yet and I have wanted to go for awhile, but this really makes me want to go now. I love to gaze at the stars at night. It us a beautiful reflection of the Glory and Grandiuer of our Awesome Creator. He is the One who made the stars and put them in their places. He is an Awesome God. Thank you for sharing this awesome experience with us. Your footage was really good even though I am sure that the camera could not even begin to capture how breathtaking it was.

      The light show is permanent with nightly shows.
      They are always adding new things to Anakeesta.
