So, when we got discounted tickets for the 7D ride at The Island in Pigeon Forge, I had NO IDEA about the other rides that were just around the corner. It was our first time going there, but I just hadn’t researched it at all. We didn’t have time to check out the rides, so we promised the kids we’d go back the next day when we had more time. My son was especially interested in the ropes course!

Every time we drive through Pigeon Forge, my kids ask if we can go to the Hatfield and McCoy Dinner Feud. The building is so eye-catching, you can’t miss it! We were grateful to receive deeply discounted tickets to attend the dinner show this weekend. The show was scheduled to start at 5:00 pm; make sure you arrive at least 45 minutes early. I advise going at least an hour early so that you have time to enjoy the atmosphere before heading in for the show! [Read more…]

July 3, 2016 By 51 Comments
We’re lucky to live within driving distance of Pigeon Forge, TN. In the Sevierville and Gatlinburg area, there are so many family-friendly activities to enjoy. We got word that May was Teacher Appreciation Month at WonderWorks, so we headed down there one Saturday. My kids call this “The Upside Down House.”

On this cold Saturday morning, everything in Northeast Tennessee was covered with a beautiful sheen of ice following our recent winter storm. What a perfect day to remember those souls who were aboard the Titanic just over 100 years ago.
As we drove down to Pigeon Forge, I was reminded of how cold it was on the Atlantic on that fateful night in April 1912. The air was around 32 degrees and the water a frigid 28 degrees!

Dollywood Tasting Pass 2022
December 25, 2022 By 1 Comment
This year Dollywood in beautiful Pigeon Forge, TN received several awards and honors for being such a great theme park, and they are well deserved! We hadn’t visited for many years, but ended up going several times this year. When we visited in years past, my kids were very small and needed frequent breaks. It was so tiring to visit an amusement park. Now that they’re older and self-sufficient, it has been a joy to hang out at Dollywood! My husband and I find ourself sitting on benches (I even take a book to read). While there over the holidays, I treated myself to the Dollywood Tasting Pass. Is it worth it? Let’s take a look!

I was so excited when I was asked to share the BOGO deal from Ruby Tuesday! Do you have a Ruby Tuesday near you? When we went on our Pigeon Forge trip last year, we enjoyed a great meal at the Sevierville location. We also like going to the one near ETSU Campus in Johnson City. If you want to save a bundle at Ruby Tuesday, print this coupon for a Buy One Get One Free entree. It’s only available for printing through September 19, 2014 so take advantage of the savings! Once downloaded, the coupon is good for 2 weeks so you have more time to enjoy the savings. Occasionally I see these coupons in magazines and mailers, but being able to print it out from home makes it so convenient. Often, this type of coupon is only good for dine-in meals. However, this coupon works on To-Go meals as well. That’s a great way to save a few dollars! [Read more…]
Parrot Mountain Is For The Birds #PFTitanicFAM
October 17, 2013 By 27 Comments
Disclosure: We received complimentary passes for this review. The opinions shared here are 100% mine.
Have you ever visited a place and wished you could take everyone you loved there, to share the experience? That’s how I felt about Parrot Mountain. I saved this review for last because it’s the one that most surprised me. We’ve driven by the signs for Parrot Mountain many times during our trips to Dollywood. I’ve never really considered going there, although I’m not sure why. Perhaps because I hadn’t heard anything about it? What a shame!! This was one of our favorite attractions of the #PFTitanicFAM trip. We had so many good laughs while we were there. I can’t wait to visit again!
