    For those who perhaps will only get to see The Smokies once, or only have a few days there, this is so useful in determining how to spend your time there; time that goes by so fast in that wonderful & beautiful place☺️.

    Having lived in the area for a while and naturally visiting more times than I care to even try to count, that new road is a godsend when it comes to seasonal traffic! Learning the shortcuts and roads less traveled when visiting is a must in my opinion. It'll save some time and take a little off that breakdown you'll surely encounter due to the traffic 😂
    Thanks so much for the great update Ryan! 💙🙏🏼

    We planned kind of a spur of the moment trip when the kids were out of school, the week of 3/25. OH MY, the traffic in that area!...and the crowds. There was a state-wide FFA convention in G'burg we didn't know about to top it all off. Due to the crowds, we passed on Anakeesta & Dollywood, but still had a great time. Already thinking of a more "strategic" time to go back when we don't spend half our time there in traffic and in lines.

    If we are staying at the valley forge inn in pigeon forge and going to Dollywood on Friday November 1st and Saturday November 2nd for the Christmas festival and are going to be using the preferred parking would it be easier to use the new road or the old one? We are excited to go to Dollywood for the first time and I'm hoping to meet you guys and some other utubers we enjoy watching on opening day of the Christmas festival. My son is excited for the nerf experience to open. I herd that it is supposed to open in the summer or fall of this year. I'm hoping that Skyland Ranch will do some kind of dinner show on Halloween. My husband and I loved Skyland Ranch when we visited in February. We want to take our son. I appreciate them doing dinner shows to add to the dinner show options. Your videos are very helpful.

    Ate at the old mill restaurant it was super, super busy but they did push then in and out 20 to 40 minute Waite. The people were very kind and considerate. I got the southern fried chicken breast. It came with hush puppies, mashed potatoes and green beans. My chicken was so dried out I could only eat one piece. The breading dry and hard. I was very disappointed. I asked for maybe some gravy but they are not liking to change the norm. The mashed potatoes tasted like instant boxed potatoes. The green beans were ok but that chicken I was expecting southern fried moist but it was bad. She did take off 10.00 . Good luck.

    I saw the total eclipse in Oregon 7 years ago. HIGHLY RECOMMEND you drive into the totality zone as this one will be a long one close to 5 minutes. Outlining areas not in this zone is really disappointing. It was one of the strangest experiences of my life, I will never forget it.....just surreal.
