Met you outside the Celebration hall buffet yesterday :) Hope you have a great day, we love your videos!! The buffet was excellent - always a great deal, especially with a Diamond discount. Nice to know there is always a place you can go that isn't crowded at Dollywood!
I did enjoy watching this. Never saw your videos before. Love how you explained and showed the food. That's What I like to learn about the most. Thankyou for the video😊
Hey Ryan and Brie.. it was great seeing yall at dollywood. I did try the jambalaya and it was really good not spicy at all too me but it was way way too salty. But could have been just that batch they made. Thanks for another great video.
I was checking for your opening day video, and I can’t believe you already got it edited and uploaded! I’m really hoping the roasted mushroom potato and the pork belly dish are delicious, because those two would make the tasting pass worth it to me. We will be there Friday (and either Thursday or Saturday) and hoping to run into you to meet your sweet family! Blessings to you all!
The rain & 1st day crowd fears had us pass til Monday. Mushroom Potato, loaded potato soup, chargrilled corn on the cob, tomato & turkey soups all looked real good but, stuffing stacker is our favorite😋!! Thanks for the food tour prior to our visits☺️. 🫎
We will be at Dollywood Sunday evening, Monday, and Thursday this week!! Those baked potatoes and the Santa Skillet potatoes look absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing. We’ll be getting tasting passes again.
Great video guys, i always love getting the tasting passes. I cant wait to get there this month to get one. Thank y'all for always doing great reviews.
We usually buy the pass after watching your video, but yesterday ended up buying the pass first, and then “ran into Ryan”. Great visiting with you! Have a blessed day!
Is the tasting pass only for 1 day? My sister & I are going in Dec, and we'll probably split food. I'm wondering how we should buy them, like we each buy one for either day *updated after we went! It was perfect for two people over two days. It was a good ratio of not being hungry/not being stuffed. We did get the cinnamon bread day one & only used one scan that day. Day two we got 4 scans, we used 2 scans for our own dishes and then shared two scans with the Ice cream sandwich & mint chocolate chip milkshake that were both delicious. We got basically 50% off all items/scans. So it was totally worth it!
Haven't been getting notifications when you post videos anymore & I don't know why 😕 I'll have to figure out why. Everything looked really good. That milkshake at the end would be my favorite
We sometimes turn off notification on videos that may just be something basic, but want to put out there for people who search for something specific. Notifications were turned on for this video, we hope it helps others going to Dollywood's Smoky Mountain Christmas festival!
@AdventureIsOutThere Ok thanks. I thought something was going on with my UA-cam app. I'm really glad you are having fun in Dollywood for the Christmas celebrations. I love Christmas ⛄🎁
Bought the tasting pass last night and would not recommend it. Most of the food was just ok if they had it in stock. The sausage skillet thing we got was not the same thing advertised and it had several hours old sausage in it. The stuffing smasher thing they didn’t have any stuffing left. The pot pie cone was just ok. My recommendation is eat somewhere else before going to Dollywood. The tasting pass was 40 plus bucks and just gave you access to free food that might make your belly hurt.
Always enjoy the Tasting Pass videos and am always quite hungry by the end of them. I think I did hear some of the Jethro Tull Christmas Album being played behind you at one point so, for me at least, that makes up for Mariah.
@@AdventureIsOutThere Then my work here is done, haha. Not everyone's taste but if you want some Prog/Folk/Rock in your life with more flute solos than guitar solos, give them a listen.
I live in Knoxville and am considering taking my 4.5 yr old son to Dollywood this week. He sees the commercials and is begging to go, he loves Christmas decorations. The cost is a lot for our budget however and I see so many mixed reviews. Is Dollywood worth the $92 ticket price plus parking? I heard you can bring food with you so we will pack sandwiches to save money if we go but wow $100 a ticket is so much if it isnt a lot of fun.
This is my second year seeing yall getting the tasting pass during this time of the year. I say it is worth getting. I would get one if I were there. One thing yall didn't get but you said was included in the tasting pass selections was the turkey nachos. I would try those. The Thanksgiving dinner looks good. I would also get that. As far as a mint chocolate chip milkshake, I can take or leave mint chocolate chip ice cream. I will eat it and I sometimes even get by choice. But it isn't my fav. I am more of a multi chocolate type person.
Good morning! I had a question for you. When you save your left over food from the tasting pass how do you store it while still walking around the park with out it getting messed up?
I’ve heard other people say they cannot taste the red velvet in the cake. I’ve also heard they’re very crunchy on the outside and you’ve got to get all the way to the middle of it before you can get a soft center to the bread. Crunchy is OK to a certain extent. But if it’s gonna taste like red velvet cake it really should be sort of cake in the middle.
Love the bakery goodies! Average family priced out of Dollywood. Seniors can't even get in there at a discount anymore. Sad. Very informative video. 😊...p.s. Dolly's Cinnamon Bread went up in price! For their prices, food should be top notch . 😊
I agree about the pizza. Literally over the last year, they have not been putting enough cheese on the pizzas. And that goes for every type of pizza. I complain about the pizza not having enough cheese every single day we go, but my daughter still likes it and insists that we get it every time we go. Dollywood pizza used to be really good but they’ve just gotten too selfish with the amount of toppings. When we go next month, we are going to eat somewhere else because I refuse to pay $12 for yet another pizza that doesn’t have anywhere near an acceptable amount of cheese.
And I’ll say that as a south Louisiana girl, that jambalaya looks nothing like from here 😂 I’m not sure if I’d try that. Or maybe I’d like to so I can judge the difference. Different to what I’m used to isn’t always bad lol
hello love all your videos!! i think i would try the loaded potato soup. would love to meet you some day. moved from south fl to murfreesboro. quick question, went from gold to diamond this time. your tumbler looked metal. will i get that or just another plastic one.
Thanks Sue! If you have a Diamond, you will get a metal tumbler. We shared a picture of it on our facebook page not too long ago. facebook.com/AIOTfamily
Just a comment on the “gluten friendly” thing you kept mentioning (which, IIRC, is how Dollywood lists items without gluten). If something is “pet friendly”, it means you can bring your pet. For those who can’t have gluten, the last thing we want is “gluten friendly”. We want gluten FREE. Dollywood needs to change their verbiage.
Guess I'm missing the details of the tasting pass - price and what it does🤔 I hear the discussion and see it in the video, but not the details - how much it cost and what it does...maybe it's just me...
There is a lot of fun to be had at Dolly Wood, but given how much there is to do and see in the surrounding communities, I can't help but feel it's over rated and to expensive. Never on our list of places to visit when we come down.
I love your videos...but I have to say I hope you both aren't comedians for your day jobs. Your jokes weren't bad but they weren't very GOUDA either!! LOL. And I hope for your day jobs that you're magicians either!! The only thing that might disappear is your fans and the only thing that might reappear is your hecklers!! LOL. And I hope you're not an English teacher isn't your dayjob because "velvety" ain't in the dictionary. Now that takes the cake!! LOL. But I will say I am glad your dayjob is doing Dollywood videos because they ARE entertaining and they have a GOUDA amount of jokes!!! LOL. Thanks for WRAPPING up this video like a PRESENT. It will be a GIFT that KEEPS ON giving!!!
The pizza looked like a pasty teenager covered in spots ,personally I’d give this pass a miss there’s enough variety in options to put together a better option on you’re own terms,definitely time to ditch Ms Carey and Clarkson
I’ve seen a bunch of videos and pictures of the pizza and they all looked better than yours…it looks like they forgot the cheese or something. I wonder if it was just inexperience with the person making it since it was so new
Sorry, can't help myself... I really should just not say anything but I can't help it. $15 dollars for a loaded baked potato!!! Are you kidding me! $13 for an 8" personal pizza that is probably like eating a frozen pizza?! Dolly is this your channel? Do all the people commenting work for you? Are you guys employed by Dollywood??? I've been to Aunt Grannies and it was one of the worst, low quality meals I have ever eaten! I never felt so ripped off for any dinner like Aunt Grannies. Golden Coral is 1000 times better.
It's funny she builds all the hotels adds rides which is a good thing but the locals get screwed if your a resident and can prove it you should get a half off card or credit
Dollywood needs a coffee shop named "Cup of Ambition"! So appropriate, love it! I'm surprised they have not thought of that. Ryan, you must mention that to the right person there. ☕️

Mr. Bill is awesome!

Our pleasure! I figure you guys might pass with all the rain yesterday.
@@AdventureIsOutTherebeing here so long we don’t have to push it plus, Viv said, cannot have her hair messed up; flat head & frizzy😳. 🫎
Brie was dealing with frizzy hair yesterday…the struggle is real!
@@AdventureIsOutThere ☺️
There are definitely some talented bakers & confectioneers working in the bakery
Indeed!
You two are so sweet. Thanks for the video. Going with my fiancé for Christmas and I’m stoked, I love snacks :)
God is good!
All the time! We hope you have a wonderful visit!
Excellent reviews. I always enjoy them. You're my favorite SM chan. Blessings!

Thanks for sharing your Adventure with us Have Bless Weekend
Our pleasure, you too!
First time viewer. Your vlog peaked my interest in visiting Dollywood in the future especially during the holidays. Thank you for the vlog.
Thanks for sharing and the information. Looking forward to tying some of the recommendations….
We usually buy the pass after watching your video, but yesterday ended up buying the pass first, and then “ran into Ryan”. Great visiting with you! Have a blessed day!
So great to see you yesterday. We love and appreciate you all. Look forward to seeing you again soon. ❤
Great to see you too Lisa!

We got basically 50% off all items/scans. So it was totally worth it!
We mention when we pick up the tasting pass that you can use all 5 scans in 1 day or over multiple days, it just needs to be used by Jan 5th.
Always enjoy your tasting pass reviews! Thanks!
We hope they help others going to Dollywood's Smoky Mountain Christmas, our pleasure!
The stuffing stacker was our favorite tasting pass item last year. It was great
👍
Thanks so much we have never gotten the pass and wondered what it was like. Great video.
I tried the cinnamon bread at lunch time. It was sooo good. I picked up another one on the way out of the park.
Haven't been getting notifications when you post videos anymore & I don't know why 😕 I'll have to figure out why. Everything looked really good. That milkshake at the end would be my favorite

@AdventureIsOutThere Ok thanks. I thought something was going on with my UA-cam app. I'm really glad you are having fun in Dollywood for the Christmas celebrations. I love Christmas ⛄🎁
@ we have more Dollywood Christmas videos coming out today & tomorrow!
@@AdventureIsOutThere Excited to see them!!! Have a great day!!!
@ thanks, you too!
Great video! Do you recommend buying the pass online or in person?
Those food looks so delicious, the holidays are so special and amazing with decorations
I seriously cannot figure out the magic trick @ 22:00!!! Where did it go??
Nice meeting yall!!
Great to meet you too!
Thank you both. So thorough
I can’t wait to try some of these goodies on our upcoming trip!
Lots of fun food to try at Dollywood’s Smoky Mountain Christmas festival!

So are the buffets or all you can eat included on the pass?
Good morning! I had a question for you. When you save your left over food from the tasting pass how do you store it while still walking around the park with out it getting messed up?
We just do the best we can! We try to recruit others to help like we did for our fall tasting pass video if we can find them!

We saw you yesterday in the rain. Now I wish we had done the tasting pass instead of eating at Aunt Granny’s. How long will they do the tasting pass?
I got the pass last Christmas and it saved about $10 according to my math. I do like trying all of the seasonal foods!
I agree about the pizza. Literally over the last year, they have not been putting enough cheese on the pizzas. And that goes for every type of pizza. I complain about the pizza not having enough cheese every single day we go, but my daughter still likes it and insists that we get it every time we go.

When we go next month, we are going to eat somewhere else because I refuse to pay $12 for yet another pizza that doesn’t have anywhere near an acceptable amount of cheese.
One of my favorite seasonal funnel cakes is the fruity pebbles one lol. I did like the red velvet, but it was just a bunch of cream cheese to me.
And I’ll say that as a south Louisiana girl, that jambalaya looks nothing like from here 😂 I’m not sure if I’d try that. Or maybe I’d like to so I can judge the difference. Different to what I’m used to isn’t always bad lol

@@AdventureIsOutThere where is your holder for cup come from?
@ not sure what you mean?
@@AdventureIsOutThere my husband noticed your diamond cup was in a holder like sling
@ no, we don’t have one of those in this video. The new ones in the picture on our Facebook page shows it comes with a strap.
I’m totally in agreement with you (Ryan) about Mariah Carey 😬

In our 70's so I agree. It's not on our list.
20:06 woman checking her husbands arsh crack had me cracking up... and people are way to stuoooopid in the comments always complaining..
I literally lived this moment and then relieved this moment editing the video and never caught that!
wow the difference in that pizza from the photo
👍
Looks all spend
$15 with tax for a "loaded" potato?! You'd have to be loaded in both money and B.A.C. to spend that much!

I would of told them that the pizza didn’t look like the picture. Looks like someone was lazy when they made the pizza
The pizza looked like a pasty teenager covered in spots ,personally I’d give this pass a miss there’s enough variety in options to put together a better option on you’re own terms,definitely time to ditch Ms Carey and Clarkson
The pizza didn’t make our top 5 with the lack of cheese/toppings.
I’ve seen a bunch of videos and pictures of the pizza and they all looked better than yours…it looks like they forgot the cheese or something. I wonder if it was just inexperience with the person making it since it was so new
This was from the 1st day. Perhaps they took the feedback and modified it 🤷♂️

The food looks average to me, like in many places, way overpriced. The tasting passes are just a way to make you spend more, they don’t save money!
👍
12 dollars for a box of popcorn or 7 dollar for a single ear of corn ?
👍
It's funny she builds all the hotels adds rides which is a good thing but the locals get screwed if your a resident and can prove it you should get a half off card or credit
No the tasting pass is not worth it. The food isn’t what the advertise it by the pictures!!
Does anyone parody this group?
I’m not picking up what you’re putting down 🤷♂️
Hey why don't you tell the real story and give the true outrageous prices of food at dollywood?
really no different from Disney
We show all of the prices, we don't try to hide them at all.
Dollywood needs a coffee shop named "Cup of Ambition"! So appropriate, love it! I'm surprised they have not thought of that. Ryan, you must mention that to the right person there. ☕️
