The holidays are over, and Dollywood is closed until March 12. Even without the roller coasters and shows, there is still plenty of fun to be had at some of our Dollywood Parks & Resorts properties during the winter months-specifically at Dollywood's DreamMore Resort and Spa. New for 2022, the resort is debuting its Winter Music Series. This new multi-day mu…
At Dollywood's DreamMore Resort and Spa, we do "Southern" well. Southern hospitality, Southern charm and especially Southern cooking are all things we take very seriously. Right now, you can enjoy all of that and more during Song & Hearth: A Southern Eatery's BOGO (buy one get one) event. Every Sunday through Thursday now until March 10, 2022, you and your fa…
When choosing musical acts to perform at our Dollywood properties, our entertainment team puts a lot of thought and effort into bringing fresh, family-friendly artists. The Young Fables is no exception. This talented duo has performed at Dollywood and is set to entertain guests at Dollywood's DreamMore Resort and Spa Feb. 17-19 as part of the resort's Winter Music Series.
When I am on vacation, I want to make sure I am doing everything I can to maximize my time and fit in as much fun and relaxation as possible. One of the best ways to do that during a trip to Dollywood is by staying at Dollywood's DreamMore Resort and Spa. The resort offers many perks to guests, and I want to make sure you know how to tak…
The weather is getting warmer, and we are finally starting to see green in the trees again. Spring is here, and I am more than thrilled for the sunshine and flowers. Here in the Smokies, spring also means Dollywood's Flower & Food Festival. This award-winning festival is returning for its third year and guests will see new elements and returning fa…
One of my favorite things about Dollywood's DreamMore Resort and Spa is that it is so family-focused. No matter what type of family or how big your family is, this resort can accommodate you with its amenities, location and room types. For me, a vacation with family isn't me and my kids because I don't have any. For me, it's a vacation with my parents and sister or even with a…
Crews have been working hard at the Dollywood's HeartSong Lodge & Resort construction site. During the last few months, walls have started going up, and the resort's features are starting to take shape. In this video, Dollywood Parks & Resort's President Eugene Naughton offers an update on construction progress and gives a behind-scenes look at the site.
For most of us, hosts and guests alike, we know that Dollywood is a really special park. There are a lot of things that make it unique, but one of the most popular qualities is our incredible coasters. From flying on Wild Eagle to racing over the mountains on Lightning Rod, Dollywood's coasters are an incredible experience. On July 8-9, Do…
"A Heartsong melody, plays like a symphony, the sweetest music I have ever known." These are the first lyrics of Dolly's song "Heartsong" from her 1994 album "Heartsongs: Live from Home," which was recorded right here at Dollywood. If you're familiar with Dollywood, you know that that song plays in the show and theater of the same name at Dollywood, He…
In early June 2021, Dolly and The Dollywood Company President Eugene Naughton announced the construction of Dollywood's newest lodging property, HeartSong Lodge & Resort. This "reimagined lodge" is being created with Dolly's love of the Smoky Mountains in mind. Crews have been working hard preparing and clearing the land as they get ready to start building. In this video, Eugene an…
I'm going to be honest, my brain isn't sure what season it is. We just wrapped the filming of "Dolly Parton's Mountain Magic Christmas" at Dollywood, and now our teams are taking down the park's Christmas decorations and putting out the pumpkins-all while the summer weather is still very much here. However, fall will be here before we know it, an…
Fall is a magnificent time here in the Smokies. The leaves change colors, the air is crisp and the smell of pumpkin fills the air. To immerse resort guests in the splendor of a Smoky Mountain autumn, Dollywood's DreamMore Resort and Spa is celebrating Dollywood's Harvest Festival with fall foods, decor, activities and more.
Does anyone else fall into the category of people who decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving? I know it's a heated debate for some, but I just absolutely love celebrating Christmas as long as possible. Because of this, it's probably a good thing I work at Dollywood. As soon as the last weekend in October hits, the pumpkins disappear and Christmas tr…
I am excited to tell you that after a spectacular debut earlier this year, Dollywood's DreamMore Resort and Spa's Winter Music Series will be back in January. The Winter Music Series offers guests the opportunity to enjoy musical performances in an intimate setting. The ticketed event is open to both resort guests and non-resort guests and provides an unparalleled experience wi…
As we head into 2023, the excitement for Dollywood Parks & Resorts newest lodging property, HeartSong Lodge & Resort grows.

Sara Pinnell, owner of Hedstrom Landscape Architecture, and her team ha…
