    Dev I want to reach and say thank you for going to Dollywood and showing it and the hotels to others. I LOVE that it's very clear how much you do enjoy it and really FEEL the area. I moved away at 18 but plan to move back and it is home. We visit often and there is something so special about the area. I grew up going to Dollywood school field trips, friends working there etc and it's such a special place. There is such a unique feeling to all the things Dolly has helped create.
    I am sad you didn't care much for the apple stack cake, but it is something that's more about the roots and the location versus a over the top dessert. A simple,cheap, readily available sweet for people in the area. My grandmother made them alot and it's a favorite of mine but I know nostalgia has alot to do with it. Excited to see your Dollywood day video

    Man when I see Dollywood I just think "potential" it has so much going right for it and they just go at their own pace. Every couple of years they just add another fun piece to their puzzle. The only thing I say year after year they're missing.. they need that E Ticket immersive dark ride. They need their version of Na'vi River Journey or the like. That and one more land expansion I think could make them a multi day park. Don't get me wrong you can have a blast, but its not quite like a full week park yet.. maybe thats not a bad thing? Its just the right size where you're not overwhelmed. Awesome video buddy, love seeing you back up our way and showing Dollywood some love!

    • @PCDev
      @PCDev  10 місяців тому +3
