Wow! I have never seen any vlogger say grace before meals! How refreshing! The whole atmosphere of Dollywood seems very wholesome. We were huge Disney Parks fans but haven’t been back since 2019. Given the current ideology of Disney, we will not be returning until they change. Dollywood seems like a nice alternative!
SAME HERE! 2019 MNSSHP. We are going to Dollywood this Christmas Instead. But....we are awaiting a couple of actual trip reports from like-minded people to see if we will be keeping next years reserved trip. My husband is not happy with their current "leanings" I am hoping to go with a firm stance on what Walt himself stood for and overlook the rest.
I was planning our families first Disney trip back in 2019 but since the pandemic and with Disney taking away the dining plan, magical express, extra magic hours and on top of the ticket increases we ended up going to Dollywood last summer and we loved it so much we went again this summer and now were here again foe the Halloween festival. Dont see a reason to go to Disney world at this point
As a Christian family are values are not 100% in line with the Disney corporation. I can’t say I agree with 100% of everything Dolly Parton has said or done either. We eat the meat & spit out the bones. God is good & sovereign and we do our best how to be lights in the world, but not of this world.
Always love Aunt Granny’s for 1 meal. Typically not a pumpkin flavor person, but these items look worth trying. Love the guitar, reminded me of the gourd joke in a different video. Definitely a must to see at night.
What a nice little video! You showcased the park well and the food looked great! I’d definitely like to visit Dollywood in the future, that is if we still have a country! Let’s hope we take the house and the senate this November!!
We were there last night. Dollywood is always so festive. Can’t wait till the Christmas lights go up. Great video. Gonna try to take the grandson next time.
We are actually switching from Wilderness lodge to Old Key West tomorrow. We will keep an eye on the arcade since they closed the parks over the next 2 days, thanks Jana!
Ohh how I miss Dollywood!! Can't wait to go back next year! Looks amazing for the fall. I'd say Christmas is pretty spectacular too! 😍 Hugs n kisses to Hannah xo
LOVE!! The Harvest Festival is my favorite and we love going! There’s so many new pumpkins we haven’t seen! The food and drinks look delicious and we can’t wait to try those. Wonderful video and enjoy seeing your sweet family! Y’all make me laugh and smile so much! Can’t wait to take our one year old son there soon
Hi again Ryan and Brie... Thank you so much for the tour of the Dollywood fall festival and the eating tour. Hope Hannah feels better soon, though she is so cute. She still managed to have fun. Have a fun evening Surie
Great video - How do you know what foods are available with the tasting pass? Are there certain kiosks or signage indicating what's included? Thanks! 😊
You can see what is available before arrival here: www.dollywood.com/themepark/dining/harvest-tasting-pass/ There is signage in front of places that sell the items & the park map will show where they are located as well Denise. Getting a tasting pass is not necessary, but we like to try different foods!
I was holding out watching this until I went to the park. I’ll post my thoughts on the 3 things I tried below. One interesting note was last Sunday (3rd day of festival) they were pit of cabbage, churros and green apple drink. Here is my ratings for the few things I tried Sparkling Berry Apple Cider - 10/10 (on taste value is lower) Smoked Bratwurst - 8.5 / 10 Kettle Corn - Apple Caramel Flavor - 8/10 (Perfect carry home item, not sure it counts as festival item)
So many items to pick from, I would still be in line trying to make up my mind~Hope Hannah is doing better and heals quickly! Do you camp in the Gatlinburg area? Always enjoy your adventures.
Thanksgiving weekend will have all the Christmas decorations, will do another video covering the Christmas festival once it starts in November, Melissa!
That food looked really interesting. A the times I have been to Dollywood for the festivals I have never tried any of the festival foods. We usually eat at Aunt Grannys, or Reds Drive In. I always wanted to try Ogles Ham and Beans but haven't done it yet.
I am always up for trying new things. I would try that pumpkin pizza. It looked good on camera. The pulled pork sandwich is also always a favorite and a must get. The sweets would be exceptionally awesome to try. Oh and the special drinks as well.
@@AdventureIsOutThere Yes it is. My daughter and I will be down there at Disney Oct 9-16. We will be trying a lot of food samples at Epcot for the Food and Wine Festival. I just watched your Disney video of yall moving from the Wilderness Lodge to Old Key West. I didn't know yall went to Disney. That's cool. I do hope yall get to do more after the hurricane passes through before your trip is over.
@@thecoolestdad I also just edited a video that should go out tomorrow night of us try and guardians of the Galaxy, and a bunch of different festival food!
@@AdventureIsOutThere That will be great to see. This trip coming up for us, we plan on riding Guardians. It wasn't up and running when we were down there in April for the Flower and garden Festival. So we are looking forward and excited to ride it.

Check out Friday's are Forever. They also pray before meals.

Unfortunately Dolly is a raging liberal. But at least she’s not pushing all of the woke garbage!
This looked like lots of fun! So sorry that Hannah is injured. Hope this finds her feeling much better!
Dollywood's Harvest Festival is always lot of family friendly fun! She is doing better, thanks Cathy!

Hope your family stays safe and occupied during the storm!!! We've been there during one. They treat you well but make sure you have plenty water!
We are actually switching from Wilderness lodge to Old Key West tomorrow. We will keep an eye on the arcade since they closed the parks over the next 2 days, thanks Jana!
Thanks for your take on Dollywood! ❤
Our pleasure Tawna!

Dollywood's Harvest Festival in Pigeon Forge is fantastic, we hope you guys have a great time when you come! Thanks Alesha!
So many cute decorations! Loved all the themed pumpkins.
Dollywood’s Great Pumpkin LumiNights in Pigeon Forge is awesome Cindy!
This looks so fun🎉 is it better than Disney? 😊
I don't really see one as better, they are just different. They both have their pro's & cons. We enjoy visiting both of them!
Hi again Ryan and Brie...
Thank you so much for the tour of the Dollywood fall festival and the eating tour.
Hope Hannah feels better soon, though she is so cute. She still managed to have fun.

Hannah is doing better, thanks, Andi! We live in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area.
Looked amazing, my cousin and his family are going there during Thanksgiving Weekend!👍❤️

We do need to try ogles ham and beans, we seem to always gravitate towards trying out new festival food smoky mountain man!

Yay! Can't wait to watch!
We hope it helps clarify FAQ's we have noticed about the Tasting Passes that Dollywood does!
@@AdventureIsOutThere absolutely and I think we may be sold on the tasting pass after all!

Oh no!!! Hannah got injured right before Disney!!! I hope she's on the mend.
She’s been doing better, though still requesting piggyback rides! 😁
How long does the harvest tasting go for?? I am taking my family on October 5th.
Through October 29th dozer, have a great time!
Cool thanks for the videos I really enjoy them I use them as my prep for coming. You're my Tim tracker of the smokies lol
Are there shows/entertainment at night?
There are some shows before 6 PM, but most are going to be before Lori.
Greetings
Hey Bryon! 🖐️
