I love DW

^Completely off topic but I just wanted to say the last two lines of your signature are the greatest part of any signature I have seen on here!!!!

Go Tell It On The Mountain - Dolly Parton - Has an amazing ending!

Sounds like a great trip. Dollywood looks so spectacular during Smoky Mountain Christmas! This Trip Report just makes me all the more excited for my visits later this week!!!

34 degrees with very strong winds.

This is my favorite pic! Nothing looks better than Christmas light underneath a layer of snow.

Swishy pants (I don't know the actually name for them) and a basketball shirt for my local high school.

About a year ago for two minutes while passing through a room in which someone was watching it. When was the last time that you actually used a CD player?

I like the fact that her Mom was going to actually have a book released on parenting. Is the publisher serious? Look at her first born who would want advice from her on parenting. Now with this news the parenting book as been scraped for now. The Spears family is about the last people any parent should be getting advice from.

No Have you ever dropped your cell phone into your food before?

Dollywood

I don't know if you know this or not but you could have gotten in the next day FREE! Dollywood has a "Arrive after three next day free" program. All you have to do is purchase a ticket and not go through the turnstile until after three. You do not have to have any type of special ticket that says "Arrive after three next day free." All you do is make sure your ticket is run through after 3 p.m. and it will some how put a note on the tickets barcode and then when you come back the next operating day you can use the same ticket to get in the park for the entire day. That is why Dollywood doesn't have "twilight hours discount." At Dollywood you can get a entire day plus several extra hours for the price of just one day. If you were to go during their Smoky Mountain Christmas festival you could take advantage of "Arrive after 6 p.m. and wrap up the next day free." Which gives you three hours the night of purchase then the entire next day, for the same price.

Amazing pictures, especially of the castle. It looks spectacular!

I just ride what ever I want to. If I get a credit that's fine if I don't, I don't. If I'm at a new park I will first ride everything I want to then if there is time left I may do the pointless ones but I only would do that if I had plenty of time and they had no wait. Even at parks like Dollywood which I'm at all the time I really have no credits on rides that I didn't actually want to ride, I haven't rode any of the smaller kid rides just to get credits (except tea cups but that was with my little cousins).

All of Dollywood's water rides will be closed. All of there roller coasters will be running but roller coasters and Timber Tower will close when temperatures drop below 40 degrees for safety reasons. Blazing Fury however stays open since it is a indoor coaster.

I have seen the photo of that man a TON of times and I have never even noticed that the speech bubble is not coming from his mouth. Great pictures!

I'm halfway between Six Flags St. Louis and Holiday World so: At Six Flags St. Louis my favorite is batman at Holiday World my favorite is Voyage.

No Do you like to go fishing?

I don't know who built the Mountain Slidewinder itself but Dollywood makes all the boats for it.

Dollywood, Dollywood's Splash Country, then Holiday World.

Sweet tea is great. Soda wise Mountain Dew or most any Pepsi products, Diet Coke, Dr. Pepper. Least favorite soda: most Coke products.
