Never been to the Island but looks interesting and fun too. Maybe on our next visit. I appreciate seeing lots of things and places on your channel. We aren’t traveling much right now, so at least I can see places this way. Thanks so much, Mike and Karen. God bless. 😊
Hello again, ya'll are so fun to watch! Since I am no longer able to travel and, also having to stay away from folks during covid, I so enjoy spending time with good people like yourselves. Have a wonderful Easter with family and friends and God's blessings on all.
Love Cinnabon. Always a stop on every holiday as we don't have anything like that in the UK. I really enjoy sitting in the rockers at the fountains watching the world go by. Happy memories. Cheers.
My sister and I first visited Smokey back in 2015. We stayed neared The Island. I begged my sister to ride The Wheel with me. I was so scared when we rode it. I fell in love with The Smokey. I could vacate here every year.
Yes you should try the key lime cookies. One of my favorite. We were there about two weeks ago. Love coming to Tennessee. I’ve stayed at Dream more resort before but haven’t been to Dollywood yet. Hoping to this vacation. Dolly is the best. Until then I’ll keep watching y’all’s channel and wish I was there. Lol
What a beautiful place. I love cinnabon too. Looks like a you had a wonderful time. Had delicious food and drink. So all around it's a beautiful day and a beautiful place. Thank You 🌹
I Love the boutique, Cute stuff in there! I've never noticed it, but I will now😍 I love Emery's 5&10 store the best! Also, the Beef Jerky store😋 Thanks for sharing with us!!💕
Went up in that "SKY WHEEL" when I was there. It was AWESOME! We actually stopped at the top. You could see beautiful mountains and just all over Pigeon Forge. A 360 view. It was great!
Karen, I just wanted to let you know I am enjoying Karen Girl Friday's posts! You are a gifted writer! I am happy to see someone's zeal being used for His glory, and kinda sad I'm a silent worshipper. I'm happy to have found it...really great material. Sherry 😍🌺☕
Fun day out ! Love your yellow jacket. The pies 🥧 sound great! We visited this area a few years ago. Nice place to stroll and window shop. I like that same shop, found a great dress.
thanks for another great show guys never walked around on the island like a mini GATLINBURG looked like everyone was having fun a nice place to walk off a CINNABON HAPPY EASTER HE HAS RISEN GOD BLESS b safe
@@FridaysForever I'm coming to Pigeon Forge in June.I was ready to go last year but as you know we were all under lockdown and being from Colorado I was definitely under those orders and I was also recovering from Covid myself and still am.I was supposed to celebrate in Pigeon Forge my fiftieth birthday so I'm gonna make it up to myself this year and this said I can now say that I have so far survived two infectious diseases that many have died from,one called MRSA which I battled for about three years and then Covid in 2020 so needless to say I try to celebrate everyday that I'm still alive.I know that I stop and smell the flowers more often.
@@marybailey-gates3116 Oh Mary what a difficult past year you've had. We celebrate with you and hope you have a wonderful time on your next visit. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
I love watching the fountain at night. The colors and water are so pretty. Also, my family and I ate at Paula Deen in Branson, MO. The fried chicken is the best. We plan to go to Paula Deen at The Island for breakfast when we come there in June.
Oh, that cinnamon roll! 😋 And I'd love Be Free too.....but I'd spend way too much money in there! 🤭 Always enjoy watching your videos! Hope you guys have a great Easter! 👍
Going there in two weeks, due to your experience, Better day to visit that place to avoid crowds, and time of the day that is better?? Like your vlogs 👍🏼
Great video! If you got a room on the riverside of the hotel, you think you could take a fly rod and toss a fly in the river from an upstairs room? Just an idea. HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY!
Love your Video's! I ate at Paula Dean's once and it was terrible, they try to make everything too fancy and end up over doing it with spices, seasonings... etc.
Me and My husband loves cinnamon rolls . We use to alway stop on the way home from our cabin and get a 6 to bring home. Then during the pandemic I started making them homemade. I tried Cinnaholic in Pigeon Forge but , I like Cinnabon or my home made Cinnamon rolls better than Cinnaholic .
At Dicks last resort, they give you a paper bag on your head with something funny and they pride themselves in being kinda.... rude. It's funny if you can take a joke and know how to laugh at yourself. I'm sure that's where the bag came from. Mine once said...."born in a covered wagon" hahaha. I agree with you Karen about Paula Dean's food. It's really kinda pricey and just..."good." Honestly, I think I make better fried chicken. Oooo!😮😮😮😂😂😂. What bothered me the most about Paula's, is that they throw away they're leftovers and we had a HUUUGE plate of fried chicken on the serving plate at our table. They just dumped it! Probably 10pcs ... trashed. It was sad. I also totally agree with chicken pot pie at timberwood grill!!!
Hey Julz! That’s funny and interesting about the bag from Dicks last resort! And that is so sad about throwing away that much food, I didn’t try the fried chicken at Paula Deans, but sure yours is great! We love fried chicken! Always appreciate your comments! ~ Karen
I've never been in Be There! It looks like my kind of place. The shops change so much so I don't think it was there the last time I was there. That crazy hat the guy was wearing came from Dick's Last Resort. They make one for everyone and like to put insulting things on them. As you can tell most people don't wear them outside of the restaurant. We only ate there once and it was enough for me. They like to insult you and the food isn't all that great. We like Auntie Ann's Pretzels. I like savory foods compared to sweet.
The fountain is mesmerizing daytime, nighttime...anytime. And "Hurray" for Cinnabon! :-) Fun adventure!
Thank you for taking us thru the leisurely way that you walk on the island and the way you enjoy whenever you go to it!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are glad you enjoy the Smokies and hope you can visit again soon!!
@@FridaysForever in the Lord's will, my sisters and I will be there in June.
Great video! We love visiting the Island when we are in town!
Thank you guys so much for watching!
I would like to see more shade around the fountains. I love the Island.
One of my favorite places to visit thanks for taking us along enjoyed it

Love the Byrds Famous Cookies

Also, my family and I ate at Paula Deen in Branson, MO. The fried chicken is the best. We plan to go to Paula Deen at The Island for breakfast when we come there in June.

We loved the Timberwood grill. We have issues at the Big Rock Candy Kitchen. We end up getting too many treats
Haha! Thank you guys so much for watching. God bless!!
Karen your making me want one I love cinnamon rolls.
Need a big cup of good coffee to go with that cinnamon roll.
Yes, but not for me, Tony. Not a coffee drinker. I like milk or hot chocolate or chai tea with mine! ~ Karen 😀
Great video! If you got a room on the riverside of the hotel, you think you could take a fly rod and toss a fly in the river from an upstairs room? Just an idea. HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY!
Thanks so much George! We've noticed employees walking the back side very frequently so not sure this would work. Haha. Happy Easter to you too!!
Love your Video's! I ate at Paula Dean's once and it was terrible, they try to make everything too fancy and end up over doing it with spices, seasonings... etc.
Thanks for sharing Jerry!
Hubby and I was sad to see the Belgium fry place had to close down. It was my guilty pleasure.
Us too! Thanks for watching Pam!!

Good for you! I like Cinnabon the best...or homemade! 😀😋 ~ Karen
Fudgery has good ice cream.😋
Thanks for the tip Millard!
My wife and I are simple people.... we see a Cinabon.... we must enter Cinabon haha
Haha! Thanks for watching!!
Cinnabon makes me skip like that too.
Haha! Hi Tracy.
Where is your opinion of the chicken pop 🥧 pie we had it it is delicious
Love the one at Timberwood grill. 😀
I did complete the hot sauce challenge at Pepper Palace. Bad idea! 😂
Wow! Congratulations!! Bet you hurt for a couple hours.
Would love to see a review of dollywoods cinnamon dread vs Cinnabon
Good idea
Good morning how are you doing today
Hi! We are doing well as we struggle with some East Tn allergies.
@@FridaysForever oh I hate allergies. Hey I have a few video ideas for you guys here in nc if you wanna try them
That would good! Please send them to fridaysforever2@gmail.com
Tinder wood grill is better than Paula Deans I agree. It is cheaper at island
I've not eat at either one of those
Thanks for watching Robin!
Where on the island is the store with bible verses on the hats located at
It is in the strip of stores below the Island hotel.
@@FridaysForever is it close to the parrot mtn store??
@@FridaysForever my family likes all king James bible verses the 1611 version of it
We think so.

Karen I’d like to see you make some cooking videos. Happy Resurrection Day!
Hi Jamie! We might give that a try at some point. Thanks for the comment and Happy Easter!
Happy Resurrection Day! We’ll see about cooking videos. I’d have to watch the Food Network to see how it’s done. Lol, ~ Karen
Don't know how you guys stay slim. I went up a pants size watching her eat that cinnamon roll.
Lol Doug! They definitely have lots of calories packed in each one!
