RE: My Fall Break Adventures Part I: Dollywood/Pigeon Forge
It is a really awesome place to vacation. The great thing is we bought season passes so we can go anytime during the 2018 season (it ends January 5). Unfortunately, we did not buy it until July so we did not get to participate in all the festivals. We plan on purchasing them again next year so we can attend all 6 of them beginning in March. 😊
Sadly, she does not perform on a regular basis. However, she does at the beginning of each season, when a new ride opens, and when a new park opens. She has even been known to show up spontaneously. They are actually opening up a new park next year so I hope we are able to go when she is there. There are several attractions centered around her including a museum with all her memorabilia and a life-like hologram of her (it's pretty awesome!)
Six festivals in a year. So I take that as every two months, is it? You bought passes so you can go anytime but you can not participate until July. How is that, like your passes are valid anytime but until January only? Is there are option to buy just one pass that will be valid for the entire season?
It sounds pretty exciting to catch Dolly's live performance in there. That's gonna be a free concert already. 😊 Is her hologram interactive?
The pass covers one season which lasts from March to the first week of January. They close down for about 8 weeks a year. No matter when you buy the pass it is only good for one season. We did not buy it until July so we only have until January to use it (the close of the season). However, we plan on buying next year's pass so we can go on day one!
Her hologram is not interactive but it is a really cool experience. It is life size so it is like she is there talking to you. My husband got to see her perform there when he was a kid. This year was my first time ever at the park and his first time back as an adult.
I see, now I got it why you are not able to attend all festivals. Yap, it sounds exciting to join at day one. It usually is the grandest of most festival celebrations. May you have the chance to shake hands with Dolly. 😊
Thank you for sharing all of these details of your vacation. It is somehow like having a virtual vacation and getting a feel of the place. 😊
I really appreciate that! ♥
