Flower & Food Early Ride Time Event

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. Silver Passholders, Platinum Passholders and guests with Bring-A-Friend Free tickets do not qualify. Children 3 and younger will not need an event ticket.
