2024 Gold and Diamond Season Passholders and Dollywood Resort Guests are invited to our first new Early Ride Time (ERT) event of the season! Beginning with the Flower & Food Festival presented by Covenant Health, ERT will move to a once a festival opportunity but encompass multiple attractions, more time to ride and special giveaways for those able to attend!
Passholders: This is a ticketed event. An ERT action-required entitlement is now available in your My Dollywood account to redeem. Quantities are limited. You will scan your ERT action-required entitlement event ticket and Season Pass at the turnstiles starting at 8 a.m. on Saturday, April 20.
Resort Guests: This is a ticketed event. Dollywood Resort guests wishing to attend the event can pick up an event ticket at the ticket desk at either Dollywood's HeartSong Lodge & Resort or Dollywood's DreamMore Resort and Spa. You will scan your event ticket and park admission at the turnstiles starting at 8 a.m. on Saturday, April 20.
After scanning your event ticket and park admission, all event attendees will be directed from Dollywood's main front gate entrance to the Jukebox Junction area. Check-in will be held in front of The Pines Theater.
IMPORTANT: This event is exclusive to 2024 Gold and Diamond Season Passholders and Dollywood Resort Guests only. Each member of your party wishing to attend the event must have a valid 2024 Gold or Diamond Season Pass to register. Children 3 and younger or children with a Pre-K Imagination Season Pass are the only exceptions to this rule.
