Anakeesta wasn’t on our itinerary, but the “Anakeesta Tasting Pass” and the Hellbender mountain coaster will make it on our trip in a couple weeks! Thats two of your videos that made our trip planning much easier. Thank you for sharing!
" Anakeesta Tasting Pass " is the way to go , I think it is worth it for $50 , i would love to try the apple dessert it looked amazing. Thank you for showing us the new things and we still have a few months till we come to Gatlinburg but we can't wait. God Bless
I LOVE that there is now an Anakeesta Tasting Pass! We will be traveling there next week and can't wait to try the Dollywood Tasting Pass (never would've tried it were it not for you guys). As for Anakeesta treats, I think I'd try the Dole Whip. I've actually never had it. As much as we enjoy fruit, it has to be amazing as a frozen dessert. I really enjoyed the video, but I'll have to say the highlight was your daughter's expressions 😅. I've been a teacher most of my life, and my students have often called me out for facial expressions like that. Keep on sharing and God bless! ❤️
I can’t handle how pretty the mountains are! I’m so jealous! The Anakeesta Tasting Pass seems like a good deal as long as the food is good. We didn’t have such a good experience with the IWALY pass at Dollywood but will I be buying a tasting pass next time we go? Yes lol.
Thanks for the video. I’m going for my birthday this year. We visited Gatlinburg last year for my daughter’s birthday but didn’t do Anakeesta. Definitely this year
I would love to try the Anakeesta Tasting Pass, but I am really looking forward to seeing the new additions to Astra Lumina! Another great Video, thanks for sharing.
Anakeesta Tasting Pass We'll be visiting Anakeesta in July. Can't wait to visit the area from Ohio. Thanks for the great informative video on the tasting event.
The Carpetbagger just did this tasting on a recently uploaded video of his. You’d enjoy it. Between the two of you, we are missing Anakeesta. Great video!
Anakeesta Tasting Pass -- I really like how they have such a variety of items, it feels like there's a little something for everyone here. I would have loved to see more savory Vegetarian options, though!
Anakeesta Tasting Pass. Been to Gatlinburg once and had no idea how much was up at Anakeesta. Thanks. My wife and I are retiring and moving to the area. We will definitely make it up the next time.
Anakeesta Tasting Pass. Definitely want to add this place to one of the options of traveling after we've moved and settled in at Greeneville, TN in a few weeks.
Thanks for the video Ryan.....I was there in April and then went to Denver area in May. I enjoyed Denver....but there is just so much of a specal feel that the mountains at PF/GB has, that Denver area did not have.
Anakeesta Tasting Pass Loved your overview of some the foods and activities. That bourbon bread pudding is on my list of things to try. Haven't been to Anakeesta yet but we have a trip in a few weeks!
Just keep in mind, the bread pudding is served at their sit down Cliff Top restaurant. I would head there right away to make a reservation in case it is a busy day and there is a long wait. Hope you have a great time here in a few weeks!
lots of cool choices. I would like to try the gumbo and cornbread. The Dole Whip is a given! It looks like my crowd can be there during the Anakeesta Tasting Pass US foods--yay! Anakeesta is for sure on my list
Been waiting to hear your thoughts on the Anakeesta Tasting Pass. Seems like if you like desserts and drinks it might be worth it. Views of the Smokey’s looked great. Only 58 more days till we visit.
Love the view! Want to do the lights. I would like to try the apple fritter! Thank you for the look at the pass. It's nice to see whether it is worth for people, especially picky eaters!
The Anakeesta Tasting Pass looks like a better deal than similar ones I've seen at theme park food festivals as you get more items with the pass and, if you skip the drinks, should be able to get most if not all the things you want to try with it. Regardless of your daughter's hilarious reaction to it, I'd most want to try the chicken fried steak as I've never seen that at a food festival.
Thank you for this! I think I’ll pass on the tasting pass when we go. I wish they had some less adventurous foods for my daughter who is very picky. The ice cream looked amazing though!
She said "it needs some sort of sauce", not specifically soy sauce. We had fun trying lots of great things here, hopefully you can enjoy Anakeesta someday too!
@@AdventureIsOutThere ah ok lol listened couple of times and knew that couldn't be right lol. I hope to try it out this summer before it's over. Your video are really informative. Thanks
We enjoyed watching your video of The "Anakeesta Tasting Pass"!!🎉🎉 We look forward to visiting! However, as someone born and raised in Chicago, that hot dog and Italian beef sandwich were not authentic at all.😅
Will be here for the next three weeks and have season passes to Anakeesta. Have been debating the “Anakeesta Tasting Pass.” Might just wait to see if we win it before June 17th (wink wink). Thanks for the review…tremendous work as always.
Anakeesta Tasting Pass! I wish they did locals rates more than once a year, maybe they could add one during another time of year, in addition to the time in May.🤞😉
Anekeesta Tasting Pass We just spent a week in Pigeon Forge and hiked Mt. LeConte! It was a fantastic day and I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again…with a coat 🤪
Should've taken a bite of the apple fritter before walking away! (Snooze, you lose!). That's the one I'd be most excited for. I love chorizo though. Yeah, it can be salty.
I think it'd be worth it for me because I'd like to try all the foods because I like them. And I definitely know I like peach ice cream but I really love homemade peach ice cream.
I love Anakeesta but I wish they would make things handicapped accessible. We went up once & there was things I couldn't even see. Have you ever been to The Cookout? We went when we were in the area a few weeks ago & it was really good. I love peaches. I tried a peach milkshake at The Cookout & I really liked it & at Mad Dogs I finally tried peach ice cream & I really liked it to. How's Brie doing? I hope she is recovering really well from her surgery
We once brought Brie's dad up in a wheelchair and he was able to have a great day. I have noticed they have added accessibility such as with the birdhouses from when I was last there, so I am sure they are always trying to expand accessibility with the circumstances of being on the mountain the best they can. We still haven't tried cookout yet, we will have to give it a try soon...thanks!
The Anakeesta Tasting Pass is a lot of food for two people on a single visit. We usually take 2 visits for a Dollywood tasting pass and that's only 5 items. (Of course, we can't go without cinnamon bread and that's extra!)
Brie watched the video today before I published it. She said once she is more mobile she would love to go back up with me on a date night to use a few punches together!
Wonder if you can get 2 apple deserts with the ANAKEESTA Tasting Pass? I probably would try the two mixed drinks and the lobster roll. I actually make many deserts etc.
I think their food pass was a major rip off unless you drink alcohol and I don’t. Being born in New England, the lobster roll was horrible 🙄. Thanks for sharing 👍

Anakesta tasting pass. I will try the gumbo and ice cream in July. I will need my walking shoes.
Anakeesta tasting psss . Definitely the Dole whip and lobster rolls and gumbo and the hell bender coaster
@16:00 was she saying needed Soy sauce? 🤔 Not sure about soy sauce on tacos but everything looks amazing. Would LOVE to be able to come try it all!
She said "it needs some sort of sauce", not specifically soy sauce. We had fun trying lots of great things here, hopefully you can enjoy Anakeesta someday too!

Hope you have a great time in July Julie!
Anekeesta Tasting Pass
We just spent a week in Pigeon Forge and hiked Mt. LeConte! It was a fantastic day and I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again…with a coat 🤪
Awesome! I hope to do another video hike going to the top again soon!
Should've taken a bite of the apple fritter before walking away! (Snooze, you lose!). That's the one I'd be most excited for. I love chorizo though. Yeah, it can be salty.
Lesson learned! It's not that it was bad, but when you don't see the chorizo your brain is expecting ground beef and it throws you off.
Nice video, thank you for sharing. I’ll be visiting Tennessee in September. Anything going on in that month?
Our pleasure! We drop a "what's new" video on the 1st of the month so we will do our best to cover what's going on in September then.
I noticed the girls had on jackets. Is it colder up at Anakeesta than down in Gatlinburger? Just wondering if I should bring a jacket.
I didn't find it cold at all, I am not sure why they did 🤷♂️
I think it'd be worth it for me because I'd like to try all the foods because I like them. And I definitely know I like peach ice cream but I really love homemade peach ice cream.
🍑👍

You could get 7 apple desserts with the pass if you wanted. It's 7 of any eligable item.

Does the $50 pass include the ride up there ? Or in addition to entry fee
I wish I had an Anakesta Tasting Pass right now. I'm hungry.
😁👍

Hello Dolly!!!!
I have never had a Dole Whip at all ever anywhere. But I know I like pineapple so I think I'd like it. Do you think I'd like it if I like pineapple?
Yes, Dole Whip is great!
I think their food pass was a major rip off unless you drink alcohol and I don’t. Being born in New England, the lobster roll was horrible 🙄. Thanks for sharing 👍
Our pleasure Lynda!
It was probably Rock lobster from warm waters. It's much tougher and kind of rubbery.
@@BethWondrely not sure of the source, but we enjoyed it!
@@BethWondrely ..a real lobster 🦞 roll is always toasted with some butter. And larger pieces of lobster meat with very little mayonnaise etc.
