My latest content is up at the Dollywood Insiders blog. See the excerpt below and then head over to read & see the rest!!!
When my little girls were babies, I always worried about outings because of the uncertainty of where I could nurse, change diapers or just escape the noise and stimulation.
There’s no need to worry about that at Dollywood’s Splash Country.
See the rest over at the Dollywood Insiders blog!
You’ve parked your car. You rode the trolley from the parking lot to the Dollywood entrance. You are ready to have a great day full of thrilling rides, award-winning shows, and fantastic food.
Who wants to wait in a bunch of lines?? Not me!!
Here are 3 ways to get a head start on your day at Dollywood.
Order your tickets online at Dollywood.com and then print them at home. No need to wait in line at the ticket windows. This is also a great way to find out about any deals or promotions that are happening at the time, like the current Everyone Pays Kids Prices that is currently in effect.
Avoid the wait in the Stroller Rental & ECV/Wheelchair Rental lines. You can reserve these as Add-Ons when you buy your tickets at Dollywood.com. You can also purchase TimeSaver passes & souvenir cups in advance and pick them up once you’re inside the park.
TimeSaver passes can be picked up at the TimeSaver Reservation Center next to Celebrity Theater. Any concession stand that sells souvenir cups can provide you with the cups you reserved.
INSIDER TIP: The price per souvenir cup goes down the more you get. Stock up and get one for every member of your family!
If you’re headed to Dollywood Splash Country, in addition to getting your TimeSaver H20 passes, you can reserve a canopy or retreat for the ultimate in relaxation while at the water park!
Head to the app store and download the Dollywood app. The app is full of great information to help you get the most of your day. Check out the show times for the day to make sure you don’t miss great entertainment like Country Crossroads, Heartland and My People, My Music featuring members of Dolly Parton’s family.
If rides are your priority, real-time ride wait times are listed on the app. The app also lists the minimum height requirements so you can be sure to choose rides your children are tall enough to ride.
INSIDER TIP: Make your first stop at Centralized Measuring Station to get your child measured and given a wristband color-coded to match the rides they are tall enough to ride.
Don’t waste valuable time at Dollywood. Make some preparations in advance and pass the lines and get right to the fun!
It’s a parent’s worst nightmare when it comes to taking kids to a crowded place.
What if they get lost?
It can happen to the best of us. Maybe you’re outnumbered. Maybe you’ve got a runner. Maybe you just got distracted for a minute. It happens.
With this in mind, I wrote my latest Dollywood Insiders post all about what to do if you find yourself separated from your little ones. Some are Dollywood specific and some would work anytime you’re out in a public place.
You can find it here and below I’ve linked my previous Dollywood Insiders posts.
