I have been to Dollywood twice—once for its magical Xmas shows and millions of twinkle lights and another time with my best friend where we immersed ourselves in ogling her costumes and trying on many of her wigs and touring her bus. Both visits were magical, not only because we love Dolly but because as an former teacher, I was inspired by her Imagination Library and went back home to collect used books from other teachers to donate to our local library’s children section. To this day, we fondly recall the rides on the train, the mock-up of Dolly’s church, the delicious food in the restaurants and best of all, the happy musical shows in the many theaters. Now that I have moved into an “old folks’ home,” I would love to bring many of the elderly and infirm to enjoy this magical wonderful place with me again. If Dollywood ever sets aside a special day to honor seniors and veterans, perhaps I could charter a bus trip to make a Dollywood visit become a reality for the elderly, the frail, the lonely, the sad, and the weak who still love Dolly so much but just couldn’t imagine ever going to Dollywood on their own or without guidance and support from caregivers. That is my wish.
Dollywood is for family entertainment but the large majority of average family cannot afford admission let alone cost inside such as soft drinks or food.
Dollywood is magical ,Dolly brings about her country culture all through this park and makes it interesting and comfortable for any age group ,I love this place
Times have changed. Now the Gold pass only gives 15% discount on the select food and merchandise. But if purchased, they send you one voucher for a Bring A Friend Free single admission, with which you can treat someone who cannot afford to pay the entrance cost.
Of course I have not visited Dollywood in around 8 years, but once inside you can obtain cups if iced water at the vending areas at no cost. My family always ate before we went and packed a cooler in our car with fruit and a light lunch of sandwiches which we would enjoy during the day there in the parking lot in our vehicle. I should think this is still permitted and really saves on the expense if u do not purchase food inside the park.
It costs a lot to run a theme park. Labor, maintenance, insurance, etc. It costs millions to run a theme park yearly. It’s not any different than going to another place. It’s a plan for it and save trip.
I live and work in Gatlinburg. I have for years. Don’t get me wrong, I mean it’s great that you’re helping local people by employing them. My thing is, our heritage and history are being stripped away All in the name of progress. It’s very sad to see and I’m sorry, I don’t mean to offend anyone. I just had to get it out of my system. Thank you.
I was planning on taking my family this year but decided against it because of the fast pass. It’s not because of the extra money. It’s because I can’t teach my children that it’s OK to cut in front of other people (especially young children) because you can financially afford to. I morally cannot afford to. Shame on dilly for allowing this at her park! Well go to a fair instead.
You forget who’s name is on the door.
I forgot, she’s religious. She’s a woman and therefore by her beliefs isn’t allowed to own anything. She’s below men. She promotes an old out dated belief system.
Anything religious is not for kids, therefore this is not a family orientated business. I grew up with her kind of music. I also know the harm all their secrets bring.
She herself even said It takes a lot of money to look this cheap. She knows her worth and she dresses for the occasion.
United States of America has been treasoned out by the most dangerous criminals who are not transparent about it this started in the 1960s they very much so put words in people’s mouth and all the presents had committed heinous crimes just like they did to babies literally babies who became adults and their children. and New York State owns it again as the place it all started. white trash who wanted to get into hollywood. and into the movies and into singers and stealing stealing stealing from children.🖕🖕hermaphrodite boldy and heinous criminal crimes in usa unfairness. Rot in hell all. Die in your own cuntry with family and friends.

That’s a shame 🫠 that the prices are so high and or course looks like they would allow discounts of some kind on food as well as admission

If a person purchases the Gold Pass, the holder receives like 20 or maybe 25% discount on all purchases and free parking.

Religion is not family orientated. Children should not be forced in to something they can’t comprehend.

Dolly has no control over that. Don’t blame her! It’s a management t problem if that is happening

Then what are you doing practicing religion? Shouldn’t you grow up first?
