8 Reasons My 8 Year Old Wanted to Spend Her Birthday At the Dollywood Resort

January 8, 2020 by Lindsey 1 Comment

It's no secret at all that my family is totally and completely obsessed with Dollywood. We've been season passholders for years and visit any chance we get. We live just about an hour and a half away which makes it easy to just visit for the day then head home, which is our normal Dollywood routine. But on one of those normal Dollywood routine days, the tram driver happened to mention that the last operating day of the 2019 Dollywood season would be January 3rd.

I said sure, then she decided to take it one step further and say "Mom, can we stay … [Read more...]
