I Am Always Appreciative of you showing us what’s New.
Great perspective!
Freddie Biscuit was adorable
The best coverage of "what's happening in the area" Thanks !
You are a brave one. Years ago we made the mistake of visiting Pigeon Forge during July. We couldn't stay out too long, even at night because the humidity was so high. We enjoy your videos so much. They are the most informative of any I have seen. You are definitely the man in the know. God bless👼
We've gone at all times of the year and the first week in January is our favorite! Christmas lights are still up, no crowds anywhere, mountains still beautiful, Cades Cove is empty, the Dome is empty, restaurants are empty, almost no traffic, and the lowest motel rates of the year! Gatlinburg with snow is awesome too! At Howard Johnson's in Gatlinburg we paid around $200 for the week Sun-Fri. We've made it a yearly trip! If you'd like our list of the best restaurants let me know and I'll send it! Lol
The next time you're here come to Margaritaville Gatlinburg and Westgate. You will get your money's worth and it is great for family. Everyone is genuinely excited. And happy to see you have a great time.🙏🏾🙏🏻❤️
Man, Gatliburg looks so run down and junky.
I'm a broken record of appreciation for how you make informative, drama-free videos. Thank you for continuing to be factual, to the point, and down-to-earth with your content. Your channel is my one source of information for the area. Have you ever considered doing a tour of Townsend? Many thanks for how you do what you do!
My wife and I were there in April, and stayed at Outrageous Cabins. We always like your input and new things in the area. Thank you for your videos.
Love your videos! We are celebrating our 20th anniversary in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg for 5 days mid August. The videos are helping us a lot, ty!
Thanks for the updates Ryan. Will be coming back in August. I have heard/seen great reviews of the new Embassy Suites in GB, so I am going to stay there this time, but can't wait to see the Embassy Suites in PF soon.
Thanks for the tour & update Ryan ! Moo jokes lol 😂. I’m looking forward to your review on the Heirloom Restaurant. I’m wanting to go there myself. If your parked in the upper level of the garage, you can really see the parade and fireworks 💥. Happy Sunday everyone ✝️
Your channel is one of my favorites. Very informative on all subjects with traveling and attractions. And it helps that it’s fun to watch with the family. Planning a second trip to pigeon forge in October. Can’t wait to try the pizza place from your video a year ago. Thanks so much! 🍕 🚘 🐻
Thanks Ryan, love your videos. Only minor comment, whenever you are driving from the 40 to Sevierville you never mention the Indian Trading Post, or the Antique Mall almost next door. Both are great places to checkout. I am biased of course since we live within walking distance. But still, well worth taking a look at. The Indian Trading Post reminds be of similar establishments in New Mexico and Arizona, and the Antique Mall is the largest I have visited with 2 floors and a huge collection of individually run booths. Keep up the great videos!
Thank you for the July update! I’m excited to try The Heirloom Room and Pizza Rio when it opens.
Awesome update video, we live in middle georgia, and have been in the Gatlinburg and pigeon forge area over the past 3 years, and thanks to all of you TH-camrs for all the updates, and new restaurants , and businesses opening there, we are seniors so we always look forward to visiting, unfortunately our most recent visit after spring break , Hwy 441 was closed trying to get back home to middle Georgia, but the park directors gave us the detour around some back roads and got us home late in the evening ??
Love your videos. They have really got a lot of new stores and everting else sense i have been there. Been about 8 years but hoping to come in sept this year. Thanks for all that you do showing us everything. Have never been on some of the roads and stores u show. Wish I could find my way around like u do. ❤❤❤ all your family and you to.
Thanks for the July update. We'll be there from July 24th - 28th..Can't wait!!
Enjoyed the Video and information. Not able to go to the Mountains anymore,but thank you for these Videos! 🥰Linda
Thanks Ryan!! Great Things to come!! I’m looking forward to watching the parade video 🎉🙌🙌😊❤️💙❤️
Thanks for sharing your walk around .
July! Only 4 more weeks until our trip down to Gatlinburg. So excited to bring our little one for her birthday vacation in the Smokies!
I am not sure when out next trip to be, but so enjoy these types of videos for future ideas.😊
We love your videos! Thank you for sharing!
Where is the Sevierville love for the Title of the video :) Feeling slighted in my hometown. All joking aside, Sevierville is often overlooked even though it contains many of the tourist attractions. Thanks for the great videos!!
Oh don't worry....as much and as quickly as they're expanding out that direction, that'll eventually be the ONLY area mentioned when talking about East TN! It's crazy how fast it's blown up IN Sevierville! 💙🙏🏼
I live a block from Sevierville. I love it. Tanger outlet is Sevierville and the soaky mountains buckees. A lot of great hotels. West gate resort definitely a great place to stay.
I was moooved with the Chik-fa-lay cow.
Love your videos, going to be there in August. Can not wait to de stress
Our first full day here and was trying to figure out what to do, thanks for this!
There is plenty to do. I love it there.
Thank you for these videos Ryan! We love them!
Thanks Jacob, that's encouraging to hear!
Great video lots of great information thank you
Thank you update video ❤
We were just there for the 4th, The Heat and Humidity were BRUTAL. still had a Blast. We did the Anakeesta Zip Line, SO Awesome !
We will be visiting in 15 days so excited
I enjoy all of your videos as always. I'm excited about everything in this video.
Thanks Wesley!
Thanks for the info
I really enjoy watching your videos
Another great video!
Thanks great video very informative. I’m coming back in the fall for my birthday. Myself, daughter and granddaughter visited last August for my daughter’s birthday and had a blast 💥 🤍
Patriot Park is where my Wife and I got married! That same day right before we got married there is a big old tree that part of it fell that day, right next to the mill by the picnic tables.
Oh wow! So this place will always have a special meaning to you guys! Hope you can walk the new area soon!
Great video
Good stuff, brother. Can’t wait to get there in the fall.
Thanks Aaron!
Your videos are the best..
Just found you today…enjoyed the content and subscribed
Thanks for the updates. We're disappointed to hear about Ham & Goody's. That"s sad for the owner too. We went by there for the lemon cookies whenever we visited PF. We learned about them from your YT channel.
They still have other locations in Knoxville, just needed to downsize & this one was on the chopping block.
Loving all your information- we are coming this July to celebrate our 20th anniversary. ❤
Happy early anniversary! Here is our video going over our top 10 date night restaurants: th-cam.com/video/fPrdx_0uEPw/w-d-xo.html
I am a retired cost accountant and have always looked at Dig'N Zone as a tough business model. I hope the changes they are making will help bring in more people. I'm an old dude but would like to try out a drag line. Thanks for your videos, top quality work as always.
Our pleasure! The owners are really nice guys, we’re rooting for him. Appreciate the encouragement!
We will be there Tuesday July 2nd. Can't wait
Same!!
All the way from Shipshewana Indiana
I was there July 2nd till the 6th. Had an awesome time. Drove from Buffalo NY. It took 13 hrs and was worth the trip.
Heading to Dollywood from central NC for a couple of days in late July. Then turning around and driving straight to Myrtle Beach for four days. Can not wait.
Awesome, we hope our Dollywood guide videos help & you have a wonderful time!
Another great video
We were down there two weeks ago and your gas was 2.89. It’s still a deal considering our gas is 4.10 a gallon in dupage county Illinois and it will be going up another 45 cents because of added on tax in July Which is crazy. Anyways great video. Hope Bri is doing better
Please check out Station51 chicken in Sevierville at some point if you haven't already! It's a Peruvian barbeque focused restaurant and it is by far my favorite restaurant in the mountains with flavors you've never experienced before.
Ryan, thanks for your informative videos. Would you please post videos on the new hotels on Jake Thomas Rd. in Pigeon Forge? Thanks.
I hope you do a video on the July 4th parade. Too crowded for me, but I sure would like to see it 😂!
GREAT Job Love your style. We are from Orlando FL but have two cabins in Hidden MOUNTAIN RESORT love staying informed Thanks again Go GATORS
I definitely want to experience the Digging Zone. Would want to see the Fourth Of July parade. Going to Alaska for a month in July. The UT Medical Center doctors said I should be able to go to Alaska. Looking forward to getting back to the area in August etc.
I only live 3 miles from UVA medical center. However, I am very blessed to receive excellent care in Tennessee. As soon as the Sevierville emergency people connected the heart monitoring equipment, I and them parroted, she is having heart attack. I am loving Tennessee even more for saving my life!!!!!
PS. Looking forward to seeing your Fourth of July coverage!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
Visiting PF and GB in late July from Australia, your videos are really great! Going to Buc-ees for sure, sad to hear it’s no longer the biggest!
It’s still big, only smaller by a few feet!
Going to GB next week then ATL then MB then NMB then CG then OB in NC.
Hope you like humidity and traffic
Me and my wife love and our fans of Randy Travis. I'm a singer and have sung many of Randy Travis's songs and hits over the years of his career.
👍
be sure to mention The comedy Barn show it is great fun and family friendly
Great video Ryan! When you mention "older movies" at the Forge theater, how old are we talking about? :)
Three questions for you: 1). What time and day would you recommend for Titanic Museum (smaller crowds)? 2) Do you recommend Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum? 3) Besides Dollywood, what attraction is a must-see?
Sasquatch items are always cool
Thanks for a great video. Dad jokes...lol
Haha love your😂jokes! And these videos ❤
We are coming down next week. Hopefully the rain will hold off during the week.
Traffic is new for sure brand new
Keep the dad jokes coming 😂😂😂
I am reading this comment to the kids 😁
We just returned from our big Pigeon Forge Dollywood trip. I’m exhausted. Our next trip we are going to Amish country but will likely end up popping into Dollywood on the way back 😅
👍
Shipshewana Indiana
I was up there 2 weeks ago
I would love to see you guys review the Baht restaurant. Also how is the Greenbrier Restaurant since I herd it was taken over by a corporation.
Hey there I never got this place to go
I love your video's and all the things that is available to do in Gatlinburg. I know that you and your family are not disabled but would you be willing to see what wheelchair accessible things that are available there? Thanks!
We will keep that in mind to do someday. Brie’s father was a quadriplegic & we have had experience getting him to Dollywood, Anakeesta, etc.
Hello, new subscriber here, I have a trip planned for the first whole week of August that I’m excited for, is it expected to be busy or slow? Traffic up there definitely looks better than Florida.. staying in Dowtown Gatlinburg and will be traveling up and down through Pigeon Forge and Sevierville
We've gone several times and I think summer is always busy
Those cow jokes made me moo 🐮
Those were 2 bad dad jokes about the cows 😱
If dad jokes were no good they would be called bachelor jokes 😉
Have you ever done a tour of Kings Distillery? It's on the parkway between PF and G-Burg.
We have not, we will keep it in mind…thanks!
Greetings from Texas. Plan on going there in a few weeks. What's better pigeon forge or Gatlinburg?
I miss my happy place. 😢Hopefully coming in October when it gets cooler weather. 🙏🏻Thanks for sharing and the ride along. 😊⛰️🏔️
Our pleasure Chasing Dreams!
I miss it too. We usually come every July but bad health has halted that tradition for 2 years now. I hope that you get to go in october.
@@people_watcher Thanks. Bad Health here too but doing better. Hope your health improves as well. It’s been a year and a half for my family and I. Mom has asthma so waiting till October hopefully will be cooler then.
@@ChasingDreams1970 Thank you so much and I hope we get back to 100%. We need to visit that little slice of heaven.
@@people_watcher Amen to that. It’s my truly happy place.
Has anyone driven from Illinois? What’s the best route? We are coming end of July ! Love the videos !
Thanks Jennifer, not sure about best route. Hope you have a wonderful time!
Forgot buds guns next to smokey mountain knifeworks
I wonder if Crayola has pulled out of the Pigeon Forge location due to the economy. Seems strange they have not done anything with the building.
Just a heads up, there's a manhunt for a prison escapee in that area 😳
Quick question how are you doing the recording from the car in this video? Through the sunroof?
I just want to go to meet the Everything Auto team,, forget everything else !
Hopefully meeting them on good terms, not getting towed 😉
My family has been to Guys Fiei restaurant twice I love the donkey sauce u should try it
🫏👍
I’m at the inn at Christmas place now. Pool area is looking great. Can’t wait for it to open. Thanks for all your videos They are very helpful. 😊
Are their many EV chargers in the Gatlinburg area? Me and my brother are gonna drive the Chevy Volt there in September.
Hey, what's up with the land grab in Pigeon Forge ? I heard & seen where the city of Pigeon Forge is currently taking citizens' property for business development or it's to house some else who's not supposed to be here maybe.
How about some of the side streets?
It’s not intended to be a long video deep dive tour, rather just highlight a few new things/updates.
Beat hotel for a big family in the area?
Thanks for showing Patriot Park. Would you recommend parking there and taking the Trolley to Dollywood or just parking at Dollywood? What would be easier?
I am always a big fan of having our vehicle near by, in case we want to get something from the car or leave early. You can do either, but I would just try to arrive early & park on site.
I have done both. With kids, and in general, I prefer to have my vehicle close so we park at Dollywood. But when parking is packed at Dollywood we have ridden the trolley. Taking the trolley was easy. Leaving at peak exit times can mean a wait to get a trolley back to Patriot Park.
@adventureisoutthere What is this new sporting goods store supposed to be?
We mentioned the name in last months what's new video about 1 min in the video: th-cam.com/video/1jhKKjSijGY/w-d-xo.html
I love what Randy Travis used to be but I just don't think I could bring myself to shell out $60 for him to just stand...or most likely sit and listen to a track or AI generated songs 😕 As always, thanks for sharing and God bless!~ Scott 💙🙏🏼
Who drives 45😢
I’m not picking up what you’re putting down.
FJB and Target and China-mart
We just got home from there. Been there before. With my experience in Gatlinburg this trip I will never go back to Gatlinsburg. Plenty of other things to do in that Area than sit in Traffic. Took me over half an hour to go about 3/4 of a Mile. Alot of Places I liked have moved out to Pigeon Forge. Gatlinburg is just an Expensive Tourist Trap with NO parking unless you pay $20 to Park and Traffic is absolutely horrible. You don't even move. Like I said. I will never go back to Gatlinsburg.
👍
The trick with Gatlinburg is that you have to stay in town. We stayed for 6 weeks once and had a great time. The whole town is easy to walk and it is so small that you can walk from one end to the other without getting tired. But you are right, if you drive there during summer vacation it is a bit hectic, we stayed middle winter.
@HTGGeorge Yes it is. We went on Tuesday and it was Fine and easy to drive through. Saturday was a Complete Nighmare driving through there it would have made a Preacher Cuss. And people really take advantage of you with those Paid Parking Lots charging $20.00. I've learned my Lesson lol. There's enough for me to do in Pigeon Forge and Sevierville. This is where I will visit next Time we go.
@@jebbthetrainkid1281 Weekdays are great. We are there about once a month, usually on a Friday. A couple of parking tricks, do like Ryan does and park at the park right at the entrance, just over the bridge and walk in. Or park at the Smoky Mountain visitor center and take the tram in. Or if you want to be in town the city parking structure right at the big right turn into town is $10 or there is a church in the middle of town that also charges $10. You can also park along the river for free if you get there early enough to get a space. Or if you are adventurous get a $5 day parking pass for the national forest and park just outside town at the top and walk in from there. Or better yet, park in the national forest at the top and walk into the forest instead, there is an easy hiking trail that goes from the top of Gatlinburg up to the Sugarland Visitors Center, it's about 5-6 miles round trip. Or even better still, at the big right turn into town go to the the left instead and visit the Arts and Crafts community, several really neat little arts and craft shopping areas, I think the whole circle drive has almost 200 little stores, with free parking, and well worth a day or two exploring. Whole different vibe from Gatlinburg.
@@jebbthetrainkid1281 Sorry about the HTGGeorge and HTGPhoto thing, both are my channels. I should have answered you from HTGGeorge to prevent any confusion.
Boycott Pigeon Forge!! See video about woman PF bulldozed her home in right of way dispute. Home is gone yet she still owes bank!
Trying to stay awake, aint working. This video not what we expected, sorry.
Sorry - will never visit Pigeon Forge again - PF goobermint officials tore down a house over imminent domain…PF will never see another dime of mine or my families’ money.
Yea so hurt the locals that have absolutely nothing to do with that dispute. That makes sense.
It’s our understanding they were offered money, but it was rejected . The questions to be answered is how much did the city offer them & what was the actual value at the time of the offer. Sweat equity can be subjective.
@@Alveyjr21 - locals didn’t fight…when the goobermint comes for them, too….all is fine till,you’re the one effected, right??
@@AdventureIsOutThere - thank you. I appreciate the thoughtful answer. Yes, those questions need to be answered - I just think it was rushed so the city could do what it wanted. I trust no goobermint.
Pigeon forge is a bad place, it's a bad town that likes the tare down family homes for no reason
Need to change title same Ole same Ole stuff boring
Great video
