I'm currently going through some health issues and am unable to travel, I do not have the stamina. So, I am thankful for your videos, so I can still see the town and all the festivals and lights! We vacationed in PF for over 15 years, but have been unable to go for awhile, so I am glad to still be able to "virtually" keep up with the town. I probably miss riding the Dollywood train the most, its such a unique experience!
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1 Really? Is this the place for that? I am all for the gospel, but this really isn't the time or place. Being "all thing to all people" is being the right thing at the right time, and this isn't it! And throwing scripture at people is not an effective way to evangelize. Jesus didn't do it, so why are you? Jesus was the living word, which means he lived the word, and shared as appropriate. He didn't just run around quoting scripture. That being said, I do like the fact that you are not a "KJV Only" kind of guy. To use modern terms (although already a bit out dated) "KJV Only" is VERY "cringe". Personally, I like the NIV and the ESV. They are my goto, but I also use many other including the KJV the Message, NLT and others.
Our goal isn't to be "the best" but just do our best & honor God in all we do. We hope our videos help other families save time & money and find enjoyment of the experience along the way! We appreciate your support CW!
@@AdventureIsOutThere You are the best, actually I've unsubscribed now from all the other useless Smokey's channels that do nothing but lie. Thanks for giving me all the best timely information available for my annual trips to the area. Keep up the good work. I already know a lot about the area, but I depend on yall to keep me updated on what's new and upcoming.
Awesome video! We are visiting from Canada in November for the first time. Doing 3 day tickets at Dollywood! 11 nights in Pigeon Forge total. Hope it won’t be too many nights! We have a 5 & 2 year old so want to take our time. We’re very excited!
The best time of the year at Dollywood. I wish I was there I am going to miss it this year and it makes me sad. Christmas in the Smokies is my favorite show. I love how it exalts Christ and shares the true meaning of Christmas. Excellent video.thanks for bringing Smoky Mountain Christmas to me. Well done Ryan. Keep pushing the plow and Gid bless
Another great video. Thanks for all of the information for everyone. Also, thanks for sharing so people who are not able to go and enjoy adventures like this can see it through your lens. Great job. God Bless.❤️
It’s remarkable how quickly the park is transformed in between festivals! I made my first visit a couple of weeks ago to catch the end of the Harvest Festival and a few Christmas decorations were up then but it’s neat to see the full transformation.
We are going to be in the area Dec 9-16. What day of the week would be best to go to the park when considering park hours and guest numbers? Also, and church recommendations?
Kids in our county are still in school until DEC 21st. I would go any day of the 11th-14th if I were trying to avoid crowds. We drive out to Knoxville, but if you are near wears valley I know Jim is solid: facebook.com/CCCofWearsValley Hope this helps & you have a wonderful time!
Saturdays we would recommend a timesaver pass. Kids are not in school here in the county until DEC 21st, so I would go early on a weekday and hopefully it's not too bad for you!
I love how you all rate the food and sweets. I was there 11-12-23. My favorite food item was the stuffing stacker and my favorite sweet was the eggnog milkshake. May I suggest you all do a Top 10 of all the 2023 Festival foods and sweets. That would be awesome. May your family have a blessed Christmas. 🎄
@@AdventureIsOutThere Yeah I'll image that it is a good experience for young actors, but hecktic on families (of non-driving ppl) to get them to every play, every day. Thanks again!
Wow, another very well done video! You did an amazing job and so informative. You’re very talented!Love your style of keeping it relevant rather than a bunch of selfies and rambling. But I do appreciate seeing your beautiful family! Such a fun family time, I can’t wait to go again. Keep up the good work! Merry Christmas!🎄
Thanks Sandy! Our main goal is with this video is to help people coming to Dollywood's Smoky Mountain Christmas festival. It's encouraging to know it's helpful!
I have a love / hate relationship with the tasting pass, but looked like a better menu then previous ones. So I may give it another shot this weekend. The cookie on the peppermint being hard still worries me some.
Dollywood looks great. Seeing the crowd size I would have paid the preferred parking as well. I can’t imagine how long people had to wait to get on a tram.
My favorite festival of the year at Dollywood! I am so glad to hear the train is back up and running!! I was worried it would be closed the rest of year. 🎄❤
Perfect timing on food reviews just ahead of our visit….much appreciated! We are grateful for this fall trip to the Smokies. We are looking forward to the wonderful light display in Dollywood, a place where they actually celebrate Christ as the reason for the season! And that Christmas show; YES!!🙏🏻🙏🏻☺️
Well, we have been here for a while now….I meant when we visit Dollywood for the first time after Christmas has been put up, which will happen very soon so, food reviews were very helpful….watching you & your little family just make us smile a lot🙏🏻☺️
@@Moose-man the "here" I am referring to is Dollywood for the Christmas Festival. Hopefully it's a good weather day and not too cold! We are always grateful for your support! I plan on hiking to the top of Mt. Leconte tomorrow morning...Lord willing!
Got it, I thought you knew…..wow, that will be a great adventure….I told Viv that, if we lived here I would have to do it once….weather supposed to be nice…..enjoy!!

Dollywood is absolutely beautiful at Christmas. It is at its best. Love it
We love it too!
I really like how yall review all of the foods and sweets. It is so helpful for future trips to Dollywood. Merry Christmas Ryan and to your family.
Thanks TCD, same to you!

Excited to try that toastie sandwich! Great video.
Thanks Lauren!
How many tasting passes are there during the year? Thx
Last year they did a tasting pass for each festival (Flower & Food, Summer, Fall & Christmas). I would assume they will do the same this year.
Stupendous tour of Dollywood as always. One day when I retire from teaching, I will make that X-max festival.
Thanks PC! Hopefully you can someday!
One-eyed Dolly doll at the 14:15 mark hits Chucky levels of creepy. 😳
I actually noticed that too! 😱😆
wow, this is the best Smokey Mtn channel on UA-cam! Chock full of detailed information that visitors need to know. Thank you!

@@CaboWabotv How do other's lie? We are planning a trip in a few weeks and I would like to know what to look out for in other videos.
It occurs to me that I can travel by watching your videos without leaving the house 😊.
We are happy to bring you along with us! It’s always good to get out of the house too! 😁
@@AdventureIsOutThere.... good thing I can't get near the Candy shop....😊

Great video as always Ryan. I especially love the music that you used with the walk through the park. Great job ❤️
Thanks Vinny!
Is market square in the Riverton junction area right in front of the showstreet area?
Thanks for another great video. I always love seeing Miss Lillian....she such a fun character.
She is, thanks John!
Thanks So Much Y’all!! It’s Always So Much Fun seeing & sharing with you on park!! Many Christmas Chickie Blessings!!❤️🤶🐣🦋🎶

Im from the Cedar Point/ King's Island area in OHIO so this park has nothing on us, Go Bucks.
We have never been there, hopefully someday!
Will be back the week before Christmas 🎄 my fave time to visit! Went in fall but Christmas is my favorite
Hope you have a great time!
Food looked delicious and the drone show was amazing!
Our hungry teens loved the sandwiches!
Thanks for the great video! Heading there next week. How are the lines for the rides this time of year?
Saturdays we would recommend a timesaver pass. Kids are not in school here in the county until DEC 21st, so I would go early on a weekday and hopefully it's not too bad for you!
We love Smokey Mountain Christmas!
👍
Is your daughter gonna be in the play again this year at dollywood
She wanted to, but it didn’t work out this year.
Great to see Cinderella up and running again and all dressed up in her Christmas finest.
Indeed!
I love how you all rate the food and sweets. I was there 11-12-23. My favorite food item was the stuffing stacker and my favorite sweet was the eggnog milkshake. May I suggest you all do a Top 10 of all the 2023 Festival foods and sweets. That would be awesome.
May your family have a blessed Christmas. 🎄
We normally break down the food more but decided not to with Christmas. Thanks Kim!
Is your daughter an actor in one of the shows this year, like she was last year? God Bless and thanks for the video!!
She is not working at Dollywood this Christmas festival. Our pleasure Joe!

I love the red Dolly hat, where did you get it?
At Dollywood
Always love Dollywood Park so beautiful Christmas lights and enjoy your time with your family and friends. ❤
🎄👍
We love Dollywood during the Christmas season. Thanks for reminding us of the beauty there. Haven’t seen a drone show yet. Thanks again Ryan and Brie.
Our pleasure!
I have a love / hate relationship with the tasting pass, but looked like a better menu then previous ones. So I may give it another shot this weekend. The cookie on the peppermint being hard still worries me some.
The fall festival foods were a bit disappointing, these were better. Hope you have a great time this weekend!
awesome vlog! I’m excited about all of it!! I really can’t wait to shop 🤣🤣 It all just looks so magical! Thanks for taking us along! 🎉
Our pleasure shortNsweet!
A fun and tasty video!
🎄👍
Thanks for doing this video! We can’t make it for Christmas, but we love to see it on video! ❤🎄🎁
Our pleasure Carmen!
Thank you - just love your videos so much - very informative and we appreciate it!
Thanks Mullins! Happy to help people coming to Dollywood this Christmas!
Dollywood looks great. Seeing the crowd size I would have paid the preferred parking as well. I can’t imagine how long people had to wait to get on a tram.
Having a tripod in the car to film the drone show with and not needing to go out to the car to get it was VERY helpful!
i love dollywood it is so fun
We do too!
Mmm, that chocolate cookie peppermint ice cream sandwich looks even better than the dipped waffle one from last year!
It was great! 😊
My favorite festival of the year at Dollywood! I am so glad to hear the train is back up and running!! I was worried it would be closed the rest of year. 🎄❤
We were glad to see people can enjoy the train now too! 🚂👍
Can't wait to go this weekend for my birthday. Love the tree with the bear story.thanks for sharing.❤
Our pleasure Wendy!
Thank you for the festival video. It was Beautiful.
Our pleasure!
Dollywood is beautiful, would love to go there sometime when all decorated.
Hopefully you can someday!
Fun

The tacos from the truck were out of this world!! They are stuffed full.
Thanks for sharing Rick!

What happened to Thanksgiving.
I know, I wish the stores had more attention to Thanksgiving! We did a video on our outdoor home decor of Thanksgiving! 🍁🍁🍁
It’s still around, Christmas just called shotgun.
@AdventureIsOutThere lol but Mr. Tom, the Turkey is sad!
